    Hello,

    I understand that you’re trying to create a specific size for the featured photo on your site, but the changes are not sticking and the photo keeps shrinking. It sounds frustrating, and I’m here to help.

    The issue you’re experiencing might be due to the theme you’re using. The theme you are using is an older one that was released before the block editor, so the blog page template can’t be modified to show larger images. Instead, it will automatically crop the featured image you set, so it appears within the pre-designed layout.

    You can see that the demo site for this theme also uses the same sizing: https://radcliffe2demo.wordpress.com/news/

    To have more control over the size of the featured photos on your blog, you may want to consider switching to one of our modern block themes, which will allow you to customize the blog template directly.

    If you have any other questions or if there’s anything else I can assist you with, please feel free to let me know. I’m here to help ensure your site looks just the way you envision it!
