  I cannot get my images to display at full size within my posts. Whilst my images are set to eg 1000 or 900 pixels, they are still only showing up in posts at around 590 which is far too small. Settings re images all seem to be ok, but still wont display correctly in my posts.

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

  Hi there,

  Since you have the Premium Bundle which includes the Custom Design upgrade, you can change the width of the content area from 620px to something larger like 900px, although I think it is worth keeping in mind that many visitors will come to your site using laptops and tablets, so I wouldn’t make the content area too wide. The setting is a part of the CSS Editor feature.

  Good luck!

  Gregory

  Thank you. Am trying this, however it completely re-arranges the whole entire outlay of the theme. I simply want my images larger. However this in tern for some reason ruins the front page menu and the entire way the pages are laid out. ):

  That’s if I “start fresh”…. otherwise simply changes the ‘content width’ gets completely ignored by wordpress and it stays the same.

  Right. For existing posts, you will need to update the size of the images manually (See documentation), and in some cases you may need to upload a larger version of the image if the original image width is less than the width of the post.

  In addition to changing the content width, you also will probably want to change the width of the main content area for single posts by adding a bit of custom css:

  .single-post #main-content {
  	width: 800px;
  }

  This snippet changes the width of the content column to 800 pixels from 620 pixels.

  I hope this helps.
