    Hi everybody,

    i have an issue: when I put an image into a new article, in the editor its size is right. But when i publish the article, the size of the image has a maximum width of 600.

    How can i fix it? i don’t like it because i want the image being as large as the text.

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Hi there, as designed, the maximum width of the content area on Penscratch is 656px. Part of the reason for that is that, in general, it is a good idea to keep text at around 500-750 pixels maximum width for readability reasons.

    The post/page editor is not WYSIWYG, but a Rich Text editor, so what you see in the editor will not necessarily match what you will see on your actual site. Some themes have “editor” stylesheets, which will make the widths of the content show in the editor much closer to what you see on your site, but it will not match exactly.

    To widen Penscratch would require Custom CSS, which is a feature of the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade.

    You can try out and preview custom CSS before you buy as explained here. This would be the CSS needed to increase the width of the overall container from its original 872px to 1000px. 

    .no-sidebar .site {
    max-width: 1000px;
}

    You would also want to enter 784 in the Media Width field below the CSS entry area. The way I arrived at that was 1000 – 872 = 128. 656 (standard width) + 128 = 784.
