Wish for larger pictures on my blog

  • Hi guys,

    I’m quite satisfied with my page’s design, but it’s annoying me that the pictures are kind of small. I put quite much energy in making good photos and I would just like them to display larger. I don’t have an exact idea in px, but do any of you have a CSS-code which could be helpful? One that I could maybe experiment with the pixels/size? Would like them to kind of fill out the page a bit more.

    Thank you in advance!

  • Hi there, I looked at several of your images and you are inserting them as “large”. You need to insert them as full-size in order for them to take up the full width of the content area. Edit one of your pages, click on the image and click on the edit button and change the inserted size from large to full and see if that doesn’t get you what you want.

  • Hi, thank you for your idea, but I’ve already tried that, and it sadly doesn’t make any difference.. It seems like it can’t get it larger because of some custom settings that are also limiting the width of my text. Any other idea of what I could try?

  • hi there,

    try this in your custom CSS:

    .post-content figure, .post-content img {
    width: 120%;
    }
    Lemmw know if that helps

  • Hi again,

    thank you for your suggestion – it unfortunately didn’t work. But I suddenly discovered that under the CSS window there is something called media width. Just had to put in a larger number – problem solved! Thank you again for trying to help!

    Best wishes

  • @rutmariebang, I’m sorry I didn’t look further and see that. Glad you found it though.

    Please let us know if you have further questions.

  • This is the second time I’ve made a change to someone’s blog and it worked on my end but didn’t work for them.

    I’m glad you found a solution, despite my failure =]

  • @jameswelbes, if you are using the web inspector, sometimes that happens. It happens to me too. :)
