Hi all – i’ve got an interesting issue come up. For ages our large image was set to 700pixels wide, however these days it’s set to 640pixels wide.
I’ve checked in the Settings > Media Settings section and large is set to 700px x 700px. I’ve checked functions.php and there doesn’t seem to be anything set in there.
What could be causing the large size image to be at 640 vs 700?
Many thanks!

Hello stephanwhelan,
I guess that you are referring to the image thumbs which are available in Media Library when you want to load an image, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/4shgNglL1, right? So, please notice that these thumbs are automatically created by the theme depending on the aspect ratio of each image and you can not control these thumbs, sorry! Also, the theme does not use the last two values of thumbs like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/aEVnrLEjdC96
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about this, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hi Catalin – yes you are right i’m talking about the size of images that can be added in the WYSIWYG editor. I’m only concerned about the width of images not the height (that i’d expect to be proportional).
At the moment you can see the LARGE image is set to 700px wide: http://take.ms/BUKHw
However when trying to add an image in the WYSIWYG editor it is set to 640… all LARGE images are set to 640 which is strange: http://take.ms/bJWsR
Hello,
No it is not strange. There is a simple answer to this. Our theme does not take into account the values you enter in the wordpress thumbs. The theme uses it’s own thumbnails, not the wordpress ones. No matter what you add to the wordpress thumbnail settings, they will not affect the the images as they are now controlled by the theme and the wordpress thumb system is overwritten.
Thank you!

Bogdan – thanks for this.
Has the large image size width change over time in the theme? I’m convinced it used to be 700 pixels (and cover the width of the content area) in the past.
Is there any way of controlling the size of the thumbs?
Thanks!
Hello,
No, the thumbs have not changed. I assume you saw something like this: https://www.screencast.com/t/2Y10YEket
That is the full size. Some images that are not big enough for the ‘large’ thumb get their full size as the third option. Not like a big image: https://www.screencast.com/t/0sYD8sQfO
Thank you!
