Hi James, did you get this sorted out? I spot-checked a number of your portfolio projects and the size looks correct.
Also just a heads-up that the portfolio archives page is designed to work with pretty permalinks at http://www.jamesbarberdesign.net/portfolio so you might like to activate those. Pretty permalinks will also allow you to have links like http://www.jamesbarberdesign.net/about/ instead of http://www.jamesbarberdesign.net/?p=1

Hello everyone!
I’ve got the same kind of problem. I’m setting up a customisable wordpress.org portfolio site on my server. I originally made the site on wordpress.com and I intend to use that as a backup. My problem is the same shrinking of project page images down to 522px width instead of the theme maximum, on some pages they’re even aligned left even though added them centred.
Looks fine on .com

Hi, there is a negative left margin set for left-aligned images to pull them to the left and the jetpack plugin seems to be picking up on that. Add the following custom CSS to override that and make the images align with the text.
.single-jetpack-portfolio img.size-big, .single-jetpack-portfolio .caption-big {
margin-left: 0;
}
If you have not yet done so, I would suggest creating a child theme so that any customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme update. Alternately you can use the Edit CSS function in the Jetpack plugin, or use one of the other Custom CSS plugins that will keep CSS changes from being overwritten.

Thank you for your help.
I eventually found that the image shrinking was caused by properties in the html rather than the css. It was still generating the page with smaller images even when I modified the html in the editor.
The only thing that affects my images and their properties outside of my own pages is Jetpacks Photon and when I turned it off my images are now correct size!
Hi,
Somebody help me?
My image stay small… http://kamilaribeiro.pe.hu/portfolio/lettering/
Already I tried here in help, but could not a solution, the images posted in the portfolio are always of small size, even though most of them do not take up more than 572 px …
kamilanr – you can try turning off the Photon module in Jetpack to see if that’s the culprit. If it is, please contact Jetpack support for assistance with the module.
Thank you!
But photon isn’t culprit!
I will contact support…
If Photon isn’t the culprit and the problem also happens with Photon turned off, then please don’t contact Jetpack support. 🙂
Could you please instead start a new thread here in the Espied forum since this one is old and already marked as resolved?
