    I am having trouble with resizing images for my website. I use a free theme on wordpress, wordpress version 3.5.1.
    Basically, I want my images to be big enough for detail, but small enough to avoid scrolling down to view the whole image. I have tried everything, I think; rescaling JPEG image file’s size in photoshop, rescaling image when added to media library in wordpress, tried thumbnail\ medium\ full size and finally tried to downgrade the percentage = all to nothing, the images still is presented on my website far too big and one needs to scroll down.

    On some images, the size is fine (after days of tweaking and not really knowing what I did to make them about the size I initially wanted) but I don’t know how to add more images now in the same size as the good ones.

    Here is the link to my website

    Thank you for any help!

    A) When you modify an image file then load it again in a browser, typically you need to refresh the page – this forces a download of the new image.

    You are also on a proxy sever which may cache your site content – review that with host.

    This image:

    is 300px x 300px

    The issue is CSS.

    img {
width: 100%;
}

    Add above using a Child Theme, Custom CSS Plugin, or Theme provide Custom CSS Option. Note above will make all img’s at actual width (and by default height)

    Metvor, go to the page you have the problem image, click edit page, be sure you’re not in visual mode so you see the actual markup on the page. Locate the image in question, see what the width and height parameters are. Compare to what they are in Photoshop.

    Did they get changed in the width and height attributes? If you know what they should be (look in Photoshop) and they’re not what you want just change them and remember to update the page. It is is to forget to update, a common newbie mistake.

    I do remember to update all the time 😉

    Took your advice and looked at the picture in text form (width and height was 150px) and tried to change it to photoshop size (500px) and alot smaller size (50px) just to see if it changed but nothing happened.
