Problem with images in full width layout

I stumbled upon a problem with the full width view (without sidebar). I want to use this view sometimes to show pictures full width.

In post edit I set the width of those image to original size. In this case this results in width="1258" height="944"

…but when I save the article and go the frontend (or preview) page I can see in the source the image has a width of 700px (while in post edit the code still says the image should have a width of 1258 pixels).

An example can be found here: http://historiek.net/charleys-oorlog/45626/45626/

Can you help me out with this? Because I really need the image to go fullwidth. Otherwise it has no sense to disable the sidebar on this page.

Thanks in advance, Yuri

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. This problem seems to come up with the Photon-function in Jetpack enabled. But I’m still not quite sure why it is re-sizing the full size image to a width of 700px.

Maybe it has something to do with the content_width setting for the theme?

This thread seems to be interesting: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/photon-resizing-full-size-images-to-400px

Do you no where I can change the content_width setting? And do you have any idea if that would be a wise thing to do?

Turning off Photon isn’t really an option for us.

Thanks, Yuri

I checked functions.php and changed

`/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
content width
*/

if (!isset($content_width)) {
$content_width = 700;
}`

To:

`/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
content width
*/

if (!isset($content_width)) {
$content_width = 1200;
}`

The full width images now come up the way the should: http://historiek.net/graphic-novel-over-de-eerste-wereldoorlog/46305/

Also the responsive layout is still working. Could this change cause any other errors or is it ok to edit this line in functions.php ?

Thanks in advance, Yuri
