  Hi, how can I edit the size of the featured images? They are too too big in my posts…

  Moreover, is there a way to remove them from the post itself (or have them under the title?). Because at the moment they appear on top and whatever I write as text goes under them

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  or for instance, increase the size of the featured image in this post

  Are you basically talking about the Portfolio pages, such as Escape? I’m not seeing any actual blog page or blog posts.

  Yes, I am talking about the portfolio pages.

  Like the example I sent (escape), which in my screen is quite small.
  (to be honest, I find featured images a bit hard to deal with, as you cannot manually edit them and change their location in each portfolio page)

  To increase the size of the featured image, we will have to narrow the text content in the portfolio. See what you think with this.

  .split-layout .featured-media {
  	width: 70%;
  	margin-left: 30%;
  }
  .split-layout .container > article {
  	width: 32%;
  }

  Note that the above will affect all single portfolio project pages at 1280px and wider screen/window sizes. Narrower than that, things will go back to the way they were originally designed and the featured image will go full width below the text content.

  Ok I see, thanks

  So your point is that I cannot separately edit the featured pics, correct?

  What if I upload a higher res pic, will it be shown larger? Will it make any difference?

  The WordPress and theme software create images off of the images you upload to your media library in a size consistent with the area the image is going to be shown in, so the size of the uploaded image doesn’t really affect anything unless the image is smaller than the place the image will show. In that case, the software will not enlarge the image, but show it at the full size. On the Escape page, the image you uploaded is 4594 x 2878 pixels, which is about 4 times larger than the maximum area for the image on that page, so the image is already plenty large.
