Stop resizing Blogger-imported images

  • Hi,

    I have imported my Blogger blog into my WordPress site. On my Blogger blog, I always aligned my images to the left or right in medium size (320px). However, in my new design on WordPress, I want all my images to fill the post content area width. I’ve managed to achieve this with CSS, but the image is scaled up and thus blurry.

    Here is an example of my code (an image with a caption):

    <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="float: left; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://69.195.124.217/~freedqi4/files/uploads/2012/08/flickr-258331658-hd.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://69.195.124.217/~freedqi4/files/uploads/2012/08/flickr-258331658-hd-300x200.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="text-align: center;">THIS IS THE CAPTION</td></tr></tbody></table>

    As you can see, the image src url adds -300x200.jpg onto the end of the image url, whereas the <a href=""> does not.

    Is there a way to make the image src url the same as the <a href=""> around it without editing all 500+ posts one by one, and thus stop the scaling and blurring of my images?

    Hi Pixxies,
    yes size it displays is determined by your “medium” sized image in the media settings. You can change that, delete all the posts and re-import.
    Alternatively I believe that there are also some plugins that do resizing of images for WordPress.

    I’ve just tried re-importing my posts with my “medium” image size set to 0 and it’s still adding -300x200.jpg to the ends of the urls of my images.

    Could it have something to do with Blogger putting images into tables?

    I’ve deleted all posts and images from WordPress again, so before I re-import for a 3rd time I was wondering if you had any further suggestions that might help me out?

    Thanks in advance,
    Patrick

    Sorry missed that last post. No, setting medium size to 0 does not work that way.

    The importer does not support what you desire but if you don’t mind changing the code you could look for the following function in blogger-importer-blog.php

    There’s a big old function called function import_image, find the line

    $lowrez_new = reset(wp_get_attachment_image_src($att_id, 'medium'));

    swap ‘medium’ for ‘full’

    That should give you the images at the maximum size available.
