Media Images Not sized Properly when Inserted

Hey there!

I’d take a peek here to gain for more information on how WP handles images and sizes them as well as the the options on how everything works.

Hi @gritsandpineconescom I’ve deleted your email address and your offer about posting a login and password. Please take good care to not do that again.

I know you didn’t mean any harm but anyone taking advantage of that offer could get into real trouble here.

Today when I was trying to insert media images in a new post, I noticed that they were not sized properly.

David’s advice is on target as usual. ??

Try temporarily switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme and insert new media in a draft post. When you preview that post does this happen?

Thanks so much! I reviewed this information and understand it, however I have never had any problem with my image sizes before. I had the size I wanted them set under settings and when I inserted them in the post they were always sized correctly to be the approximate same width as my text.
What could have changed?

Joe and David, thanks so much for taking time to try to help. I previewed the Twenty Fifteen theme, but don’t know how to switch themes and then switch back. I’m afraid I will really mess things up. I’m giving up for the night and will try again in the morning to figure out what could have happened.
I’m sorry about the email address, I didn’t know how this worked.

Let us know if you make any progress, I’m subscribed to your thread and will receive notifications by email if and when you do reply.

I’m sure you’ll get it figured out, it’s not a huge issue.

Dear David,
Thank you for hanging in there with me and Happy Valentines Day!
I think I have resolved the image issue, but my most recent post is not appearing correctly on my blog. I don’t know if this is related to my image issues, or possibly I have been hacked? I just don’t know what could be causing all of these issues when everything previously was working fine.
My most recent post is a recipe for Cherry Pomegranate Sherbet. Before I posted it, I previewed it and everything looked ok in the preview window. However, once it was posted, instead of showing the first few sentences of the first paragraph, this appears, “a luscious sherbet made w/ cherries and pomegranate juice”. I originally had this sentence as the image caption for my featured image. I deleted this sentence as my image caption, to try and fix the problem, but it still appears instead of my first paragraph.
The rest of my posts seem to be ok, its just this last post that is not displaying properly on the home screen.
Please can you help?
Sharon
PS: The email which is sent out automatically from Word Press to all of my subscribers from this post was fine with no errors.

Have you tried deleting this last post and re-trying since fixing your earlier issue?

Seems to be maybe that posts are not being ordered correctly but I could be wrong, let me know if you try this simple fix and no need for thanks It’s my pleasure to try and help.

??

Thank you so much for your suggestion. I have not done this, but will definitely try this. Is there some way, I can do this without another email going to my subscribers with the same post information?
And by the way, many many thanks! You are volunteering to help and I appreciate it as do the many other folks that need your help!
Sharon

Let me know and no need, I’d love to get this fixed for you.

How can I temporarily disable sending an email to my subscribers so I can delete this post and try again? I don’t want them to receive duplicate emails for the same post.

Are you using any plugin to send out an email to your subscribers? Sometimes those provide options to do that.

If not, however you can do it by a feature in the Jetpack Plugin linked here.

Refer to this thread where a user wanted to accomplish the same task.

Hallelujah!
I disabled the Jetpack subscriptions module, deleted the original post, and reposted the recipe and it worked! Don’t have a clue what could have caused the issues, but its onward and upward from here.
Again, thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it!
Sharon

Onward and upward it is!

You’re so welcome Sharon, thanks for marking this as resolved.
