Photos have become small and off-centered.

OK, I am having the same issue at travelsandtrifles.wordpress.com. Now all of my images are tiny. I am not a geek and am very confused by all of the info in this thread. Can you just tell me how to fix the issue? I don’t use HTML. Thanks
-
I went to the settings, media tab and changed all of the min/max sizes to 900×900 and everything looks good now. Is this going to mess me up in the future?

good evening, I still haven’t any answer about my previous message [Sept 22, 6.13 p.m.].

Great!

Very unlikely. But we update a lot and there’s always a chance a new feature or a bug fix will affect something, but if that ever happens, support is here to help you!

@pandoxeio, for image sizing (which is what this thread is about), please try adjusting the settings in the Settings > Media page in your blog dashboard.
For the print issue, it sounds like what you described is an intentional feature of the theme you are using and you should wait for a reply to that question in the themes forum (which is the right place for that question).
-
Thanks DS – yes all of the photos did have captions. I think I’m OK for now but will keep an eye on it. Appreciate your help.

@dulceiutesarat, thanks for your suggestion. Last night I simply added this statement to the church blog: Please note that on September 20, WordPress made some changes to the way photos are displayed; and, as sometimes happens, bugs bit the system. Until the dilemma is resolved, photos on this blog may be altered in size, thereby affecting the look of the post and/or page. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

@designsimply, yesterday I checked the settings, which are as they’ve always been– thumbs: 150×150, medium: 300×300, and large: 1024×1024.
I don’t do HTML, so I’ve never gone in to change any of these settings. Still the portrait-sized thumbs are bigger than they previously were (although a few on my personal blog remain the same size– go figure).
Examples: http://stjosephchurch.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/september-15-2013/
http://flandin505.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/st-mary-revisited/Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

@flandin505, the update on 20 Sep 2013 made it so you can now change image sizes using the Settings > Media page in your dashboard. You do need to change them now even though you didn’t have to before.
I can’t tell what your blog looked like before the update, but I can try to guide you in changing the settings to make them look how you want now.
It helps very much to look at a specific example, let’s look at this post:
http://flandin505.wordpress.com/2013/06/01/st-mary-revisited/The first two images appear at a medium size. If you go to Settings > Media and change the Medium size values there, it should update those images to the size you enter.
The smaller images in the middle of the page are displaying according to the Thumbnail size in your Settings > Media page. You can update that size setting to try to adjust them, but they look like they should be in a gallery to me. Here’s the gallery help page in case that’s of interest to you:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/The last image was inserted at large size. Since the large sizes saved in your Settings > Media page (640, 640) are larger than the main column width in your current theme, that image is displaying at the max size the theme will allow.
Try adjusting the Thumbnail and Medium sizes on your Settings > Media page as a first step.
-
Okay, let me see if I’m understanding correctly. Do I need to make adjustments for each photo then? Or generically?
-
@designsimply, thanks ever so much! I now understand that the numbers were all really up to me. (Sounds like something Dorothy might say.) Hmm.
Once I got past my anxiety about making things worse than they already were, I took the plunge; and there it was. Like resizing photos on my computer. Duh. It was simple enough. Woohoo!
Sooo… I am fearless no more. That is, until the Next Big WP Leaf lands on this Chicken Little’s tail. Hahaha.
Again, thanks so much!
-
But my dear @designsimply
of course I adjusted the settings in the Settings > Media page
as you’ve said to other members before.
But they had never changed.
and the huge photos are still there, in more of the half of my 1000 posts.
Small is always fixed at 150-150, medium at 300-300 and big at 1024-1024.
I always use medium. -
@pandoxeio, it’s hard to say what’s happening without seeing a specific example. It might not even be related to the image resizing update at all. I will reply to your other post so I can investigate with you in more detail.

Dear @designsimply
My problem seems to be incredibly simple, and yet I can’t find a solution. The images are not getting smaller, but bigger, and although they are all originally different sizes, they all end up looking the same: too big, equally big.
The layout of my blog is incredibly simple.
http://celluloidparadiso.wordpress.com/All the images inside posts are supposed to be smaller – more to the point, as small as or smaller than the MEDIUM settings I set them at when I posted: min 300, max 300.
The only images unaffected by this “Honey, I Blew Up the Kid” syndrome are the ones that were originally around 300×300 to begin with, like here: http://celluloidparadiso.wordpress.com/2011/09/03/the-fourth-reich-1990/
The link above shows what the images everywhere else are supposed to look like – and did look like until Friday.
Please help.
Thanks.

@celluloidparadiso, I see what you mean. Let me research your issue with portrait images more to see what I can find out. I’ll post back here when I have more info.
-
@celluloidparadiso I have the exact same problem, and because my blog is a members only site, I feel that I won’t get help for my blog.

I almost always resize my pictures and now I am quite bewildered about what to do to make my blog look like it used to (and get my old sizes back). The bigger photos are small and the smaller photos are big right now. Today I noticed that that the status page does not count my visitors any more either. Is there any chance of waiting these problems out or do I have to make changes to every photo on the blog? And even though I know the problems on the status page might not be related to the photosize problems I would really like to know what is going on with that too.

(The blog you get to clicking to my membership link is NOT the blog in question. That one is not in use at the moment. If the support group needs the link to the blog with the most problems I would be happy to send it to you. I just checked my third blog. No youtube-videos were shown. Nothing. What is happening?)
