  Hello there:

  I am considering changing from The Journalist v1.9 to the Vigilance Theme. Howver, when I preview the look of my site with the Vigilance Theme, previous images uploaded with The Journalist are overlapping the Vigilance sidebar.

  I checked the FAQ and it seems that WordPress does not automativally resize images from theme to theme. I wanted to make sure this is correct or if there is a workaround, short of resizing all of my images.

  Thanks so much for your assistance.

  Sorry – I meant “automatically”.

  Some browsers, such as FF, resize on the fly. WP does not.

  You can used the advanced photo editing to reduce to a certain percentage, but it will have to be done individually.

  You’re welcome. Auto resize doesn’t even happen with self-hosted blogs. That’s not what themes are designed to do.

  Oh, I see. I guess this is the first time I encountered this problem. I have changed themes before, but the images resized properly.

  They may have fit or your browser resized them. If themes auto-resized we wouldn’t have people here every day wondering why their sidebars are at the bottom.
