  I started a support/forum topic yesterday and David (darthhex) replied, but for some reason, now when I click on “reply” nothing happens. So I’m starting a new support topic.

  I’m trying to increase the width of my pix from the default 750 px to 900 px. I bought the customize option, changed the default from 750 px to 900 px at http://angelainmm.wordpress.com/wp-admin/customize.php, pressed save, and it said my design was published. The width changed to 900 px in the preview panel, but not on the actual blog site. I tried clicking on individual pictures, going to Advanced settings, and clicking on “original size.” This didn’t work either. I tried reloading some of the pictures, and when I did so, the px size changed from 750 to 900 in the “text” window – but the picture size still doesn’t change on the actual blog site. Do I need to reload all of the pictures? Do I need to change something in CSS and, if so, how? Thank you!

  Hi there,

  When you change the Content Width value, it doesn’t change the width of your blog itself. Right now, your images are being limited to 750px wide because that is the width of the blog. You can change this by adding the following CSS to the CSS editor in the Customizer:

  #main, #colophon {
  max-width: 900px;
  }

  This should allow your images to display at the full 900px width. If that doesn’t work for you, please let me know and I’ll take another look!
