  When I upload a photo which is horizontal, I edit it to make it vertical and insert ii in my blog jherring.wordpress.com I then click on Media File and Open in New Tab. However, on the site, when the photo is opened in a new tab, it appears as horizontal again. How do I fix this, please?

  Hi James, I clicked on a few pictures on your site and was not able to see the issue you’re describing. Could you link us to a post that has this problem on it?

  Sorry – posted wrong blog. Here is one from the travel blog:
  

  As you’ll see it comes out horizontal whereas in the blog itself, it appears vertical – see https://wordpress.com/block-editor/post/jamesherringphotos.travel.blog/289 and scroll down.
  Thanks for your help.

  Thank you!
  If you look into your Media library, you will notice that you now have two images there, the horizontal and vertical. If you hover over each, you will see that the file names are slightly different. The one that was in your post, was the horizontal (original) one. I have replaced the image with the vertical version in your post and it seems that it’s working as expected now.

  I hope that helps :)
