Featured Image Sizing

    Hello,

    I have seen a similar question asked several times so I apologize for the repeat, however the solutions posted don’t work for me so I am hoping for some additional guidance.

    When I select a featured image, it shrinks to a smaller size when displayed on the main page of the blog. On the single post page, the images display perfectly.

    What I would like is to have the image take up the full width of the blog column so that I don’t have that dead white space on the right. I have seen posts regarding how to solve this by creating a child theme and manipulating the code but I would prefer to not have to do this.

    Is there a setting or other way I can change this image side without altering code? Thank you

    Hey!

    In your content.php, change the default from this:
    <?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘thumb-featured’ ); ?>

    to this:
    <?php the_post_thumbnail( ‘large’ ); ?>

    Hi!
    I am having the opposite problem. Before, I had both of them as a shrunken/smaller size. I made the changes suggested above and they worked perfectly!

    Although, now when I click an individual post, the feature image is a small thumbnail. How can I get this to be a full sized image so that it looks consistent with the rest of the blog post?

    An update from my previous post:

    I noticed that this is only a problem that I have on some posts, but not all. Any way to fix this?

    Thanks
