Media Sizes and Custom Theme Image Sizes being limited to 500px

    Heya, I am quite frustrated – I set the media Large size to 800×800 and even coded a new custom image size in my theme with the dims, but when I upload new images both the Large and custom one shows as max 500 width.

    I tried googling and even searching my theme / plugins code files, but couldn’t find anything overriding this. Any idea what may be going on?

    Like I said, it happens on newly uploaded images (1080p) and after I ran the Regenerate Thumbs plugin. I also tried this

    update_option(‘large_size_w’, 800);
    update_option(‘large_size_h’, 800);

    inside ‘after_setup_theme’ hook, same thing ugh ><

    FYI my plugins are:

    Akismet, BackWPUp, Contact Form 7, Google Analytics by Yoast, Kimili Flash Embed, PS Disable Auto Formatting, Redirection, Regenerate Thumbs, Sociable and Yoast SEO.

    Theme is a mod of the Caroline theme (https://wordpress.org/themes/coraline/)

    Don’t see anything that should have been an issue, ugh!

    blah, figured it out. the theme was setting $content_width to 500, which apparently is some global var used by WordPress to trim image sizes.
