Images from HMTL code are stretched

    Hi folks,

    I copy the HTML code from my photos on Flickr and insert them into my posts via the ‘Text’ editor.

    I’ve had no trouble until my most recent post, which is stretching all of my images to the full width of the post, as well as being too tall to view the full image on a laptop screen.

    An example of the codes I’ve been using is:

    <img src=”https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5571/15112852201_37893f044b.jpg&#8221; width=”358″ height=”500″ alt=”P9011300″>

    Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?

    Make sure in your style.css file the img width is not set manually that is forcing the image to display at that width.

    Hi Tara,

    Thanks for responding.

    Sorry, I’m not very wordpress techy – what is the style.css?

    look in your active theme. there you will see style.css of that theme.

    /wp-content/themes/YOUR ACTIVE THEME/style.css

    I still can’t see anything like that on my WordPress.

    Can you please dumb this down a bit for me as I’ve never heard of a Style.ccs before.

    Be warned! That would be pretty risky thing to do.

    Yeah I know, I just want it fixed and I don’t understand half of what’s spoken about on here.

    I use WordPress to write and edit articles, and can’t seem to find anything that you’re instructing me to. I don’t have a deep knowledge of it’s functionality and settings.

    I just need some simple help please.

    If you can’t do the work yourself, consider looking for a professional to fix it correctly on:

    I usually have no problem fixing things when I’m given instructions which I understand.

    I’ve not altered any settings at all on my blog so I can’t understand why this has happened. I’ll just have to keep trying the forum until someone can help.

    The image in your example is 216 px by 302 px. If it was displayed at width=”358″ height=”500 it would be stretched.

    Can you post a link to the actual image in your blog?

    Hi kmessinger,

    I’ve had no trouble with any of the other images I’ve copied from Flickr.

    The link from Flickr is https://www.flickr.com/photos/thechaoticscot/15112852201/sizes/m/

    I’ve tried various methods of copying it over to WordPress, and while it looks the correct size in the visual editor, when I preview the post all images are stretched to the full width of the post.

    Any help would be so much appreciated.

    I’ve now found where the style.css is – can someone advise what it is that I need to check/change in there?

    kmessinger

    (@kmessinger)

    Please post a link to your blog where the image is actually used. With that we can figure out the problem.

    Is this what you need?
