  Hi. I’m having problems changing the dimensions of photos I am uploading from My Pictures or Picasa. They are too large. With your previous image uploading options, I could edit the size of the photo. That option is no longer present – at this stage of the process. How do I make the photos smaller so that they will upload? Thank you.

  Howdy,

  Are you uploading the images to your media library, or linking from another site?

  You might consider re-sizing the images in an image editor before you upload them to your media library:

  Otherwise, you can change an image’s size when inserting it into a post or page:

  Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you need anymore help. :-)
