The ‘editor’ theme that I chose had a very large ‘featured image’

Hi!

I’m getting an “Access Denied” error at both of your Evernote screenshots. However, I believe you’re referring to the large featured images on posts like the one at the top of the demo here:

https://editordemo.wordpress.com/

To adjust the size of the featured image, we would need to use custom CSS. Is there a certain look you’re going for? The following CSS should shrink the image a bit and center-align it:
```
.featured-image {
  width: 70%;
  display: block;
  margin: auto;
}
```
Just paste that under Appearance -> Customize -> CSS. That should give us a good starting point. If you can let me know specifically what you’re looking to do, I’ll be able to help more!

Thank you for the reply there,

So what I wanted to do was to get my featured image to be just as big as the one you saw on the editor theme.

So what code can I use for this?

Ah! Sorry for misunderstanding. You won’t need to use a code for this. You’ll just need to upload a larger featured image. For your latest post here:

The featured image is roughly 800×400. Featured images work best when they’re at least 1200px wide. Can you try uploading a larger featured image?
