Why is wordpress cropping the horizontal images?

I made some images to post 800 pixels on either side. The verticals look fine and full frame. But wordpress seems to shrink or crop the horizontals. Anythng I can do. I'm pretty new, I'm using template, think it was called 11 20 or something like that. thanks!

 

Could you please give us a link to your site?

You can set dimensions of uploaded images on this page: example.com/wp-admin/options-media.php

 

thanks, just did some test and deleted them. Maybe I'll send you a PM.

Did not understand your post -- example....

 

example.com = your domain where you have WP installed. Proceed to page wp-admin/options-media.phpif you want to set options for resizing images.

 

thanks I, not sure where the url for my domaine ends -- to have a navigation in dashboard for that?
But really, such hassle, I've already sized in photoshop. Just sent you PM, hopefully we can crack this offline. much easier.

 

Dashboard → Settings → Media

 

Ok, got it, changed dimensions all around to a larger 1024, but just did test and it still crops everything to look small on the blog. I'll PM you the actual page Wednesday after I do my first real post with a horizontal.

 

may be your theme doing that, check your theme options,
or post your url here, so that we can see it.

 

I read your e-mail kevs and it seems that your WordPress is creating thumbnails for images that are too large (you can set these options in Setings → Media).

If you do not want any thumbnails to be created, put zeros instead of every dimension you have there. When you are adding an image to a post via the editor you can choose to display the image in its full dimensions or as a thumbnail.



I personally do not insert larger images in posts in their full size because loading the page takes more time then. When an image has larger width than a defined value for thumbnails, a thumnail is created and I always put there a link to the original version of the image.

 

I, I did not choose a thumbnail. I always choose full size! I'm just drained wiped out here.....

I see many photographers posting full size huge image, no slowness...

Also, I posted a link and it's not live. It just sits there not clickable.

This word press is so clunky, so cumbersome, just boggles the mind.

 

Well, when I click on the image on the page you sent to me, I get a page with a larger version of the image. It works for me.

I looked into your CSS code and you have there this:

.entry-content img, .comment-content img, .widget img {     [B]max-width: 97.5%[/B]; /* Fluid images for posts, comments, and widgets */ }

Code (markup):

Delete this (end everything else where this max-width is used) and images should be displayed in their full size. But I am warning you, they may not look nice that way (that max-width setting is there to keep large images in the template column).

 

Ok, I, bit draining to deal with online here. I'll try offline. Don't even know where that code it, and don't want to be so encumbered in future for every post

 

You can find the file here: Appearance → Editor (theme Twentyeleven) → style.css

Use Ctrl + F to find the max-width value and delete the code.

 

I, way to draining, will have to do that every post? just sent email offline.
