I'm working on a new page for my blog... I am trying to add several images in to the post. On the "Write Page" page, I put the cursor at the spot in the text where I want the picture inserted. (Using the Visual editor) I click on the "Add an Image" icon and the box opens for me to upload the file. The picture that I am trying to use is 400x259, but when it finishes uploading, WP has cropped it into a square. I want it to be a thumbnail, but is there anyway to get it to leave the height/width ratio alone?
When you upload the image it uploads the original in original size and format, crops it to a medium size, and a thumbnail. You can choose which one you want to use with the image manager. Example: You upload the image and are sent to where you can add description, alt, and such. At the bottom you choose alignment and which size you want to insert into your post. Thumbnail (crops to square) Medium ( resizes image to have largest side of 300 by default. By default this will not cop it to a square) Full size ( the actual size you uploaded) You can also edit your settings in settings-->misc. Does that help?
No. And yes. It shows the preview as square, no matter which option you chose (thumbnail, medium, full size) It doesn't change until you hit "insert into page"... But then it was bigger than what I wanted. But then I did some more looking and I found the Advanced Image Editor, where I can change the width to 150 to make it thumbnail size, and then change the height proportionately to keep the same ratio.... So you got me started and I found a way to make it work. Thanks.
Hey buffy, You can also insert image in your post using below given code. Using this code you can adjust height,width as well as position of image (rightside,leftside etc.). <div style="float:left; padding:0 10px 10px 0;"><img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/image.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" /></div> Code (markup): Hope it helps. DON.
