Default Image Size and Alignment
-
Whenever I post a blog entry and insert an image, it always defaults at thumbnail size and to the left. I don’t know if that’s a setting or a default for the Stay theme. I would like the default to be centered and full sized images; is there a way to reset this? Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Note this detailed theme description page https://wordpress.com/theme/stay
- The featured page slider image size is at least 960 wide.
Individual post featured image is at least 920 wide.Go to this page Media Settings page http://faireunvoeu.com/wp-admin/options-media.php and note the settings there.
Edit the posts/pages and use the alignment icons. Use them also in your new posts.
re: image alignment
Align-left means position left, with the rest of the content wrapping around the right side of the image.Align-right means position right, with the rest of the content wrapping around the left side of the image.
Align-center means position center, with no wrap-around (= the rest of the content below the image).
If the text beside the images does not occupy the same amount of space that the image beside it does then the text wrapping will continue and the images and text that follow will have a staggered appearance.
To prevent the staggered effect what you do is insert the following snippet of code into the Text (HTML) editor after each image/text pair:
<div style="clear:both;"></div>See: https://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/

Thank you for this reply but it’s not the answer to the question I’m asking. I don’t need the theme default sizes or alignments, I need to know how to set my blog posts default image size to full instead of what appears to be the theme default setting of thumbnail, if in fact that is what’s going on. Or, if not is there a setting somewhere I’m missing to change that. I’ve checked the media sizes in settings and they are all fine. I don’t know where else to look.

Hi there,
Are you using the My Sites editor or the WP-Admin editor? And are you inserting images by dragging-and-dropping them into the post, or via the Add Media button?
If you’re using WP-Admin, that editor remembers the last setting you used when inserting an image. Editing the setting after inserting doesn’t reset this, so with the next image you insert, use the Add Media button to insert it instead of dragging it into the editor. After uploading the image, set the alignment and size to what you want in the sidebar on the right, and only then click Insert.
In the My Sites editor images should insert at maximum width with no-alignment. There’s no way to set a default for the new editor at this time.

Thank you for your reply. I’m using the WP-Admin editor. I’m inserting them by clicking Add Media and then browsing to my Library and adding them one at a time unless I create a Gallery. I’ve always done it this way and did notice that it’s always remembered my setting but since moving to the Stay theme, this isn’t the case. So based on what you’ve said above and how I add images, maybe there’s a bug? Would you be willing to look into that please?

I activated Stay on a test site, and the editor remembers my last used settings as it should for adding images, so it doesn’t look like it’s the theme.
That preference is stored in your browser, so it’s possible something could be preventing your browser from storing it correctly.
Can you please try clearing all browser data, including cache, cookies and site preferences? Then create a new post, insert an image, set it the way you want it, and save it as draft.
Then create a second new post, insert an image, and check if it remembers the previous setting this time.
