Deactivating plugin makes images expand to 100%

  • I have had the plugin installed for sometime – updating WordPress and the plugin as time passes.

    I deactivated the plugin while inserting a number of smaller images sometime back. I did not want the unnecessary code on the pages.

    Tonight I clicked on a couple of expanding read more divs containing product reviews and was highly annoyed that all the images within those divs were now expanded to 100% width. The images, only around 320px wide, were totally destroying the layout being displayed at 100% wide.

    So I turned the plugin back on now they display back to normal size again.

    I am certain this issue has somehow occurred since an update. As I have not opened the expanding divs for some weeks I can not pin point an exact time or upgrade this started happening.

    example of code (identification removed) inserted with the plugin and Add Media
    <img class="alignright wp-image-1113 size-full" src="https://www.xxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/xxxxx.png" srcset="https://www.xxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/xxxxx-153x300.png 153w, https://www.xxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/xxxxx.png 307w" width="307" height="602" data-sizes="(max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px" />

    Obviously at 307px wide it was not necessary to have the srcset code inserted. The very reason why I turned the plugin off for future small images. But I didn’t expect the 100% width display to suddenly start happening.

    Above is an issue – the following is a suggestion – It would be much better to have a checkbox within the Add Media section that would only add the code if selected. It is only suitable for large images not every image.

    Hi NightL,

    Thanks for the bug report. The problem you describe is occurring because by turning off the plugin, the image markup left behind doesn’t work quite right. In order to fix this issue, you need to either remove the srcset and data-sizes attributes from your images, or you need to change the data-sizes attribute to a sizes attribute.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    I believe the new 5.2.0 solves the problem I highlighted (?)

    I added a comment to my Review and left a couple of questions about 5.2.0 – if they could be answered/confirmed I will rewrite my review, improve star rating and happily mark this topic as resolved.

    With thanks
