When I add a picture to a post, the size options (thumbnail, large, custom) all seem to work fine, except for “large”, in that the image settings (Dashboard>Settings>Media) I’ve defined “large” as a max of 1024×1024 (“medium” doesn’t even display since I installed Newspaper). But when I go back to select the size of the image to insert into a post, the “large” option is still maxed at 640 for any photo I select.
From my reading, it seems like Newspaper is overriding WordPress on how big a picture can be. I understand if it needs to do this for a template, but for simply adding an image to into a post, I need higher quality than a width of 640px, and I don’t want to have to do a custom size for each picture.
Other WordPress users who have experienced the same said to go to the functions.php file to correct it (something about $content), but it looks like Newspaper doesn’t use functions.php to resize images.
Any thoughts on how to fix this/locate this function in Newspaper?
Hello,
Please do not use the WordPress thumbnails. Add the full width image to your post and the theme will use a thumbnail of 696 pixels which is the max content. It will not add the full image size. Do not use the wordpress thumbnails as the theme already has a thumbnail system in place that does not require you to select eh thumbs needed. It is an automatic system that creates and uses the thumb from the full size image.
Thank you!
