 * I understand that Primer is not as integrated with the Gutenberg editor as newer
   themes like Go. For instance, when I set an image or text block’s width in Gutenberg,
   then that width is not preserved. Is that an area where development will occur
   or should I rather go for another theme if I want WYSIWYG between the Gutenberg
   editor and the final page?

 * Hi [@ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/),
 * I hope you are doing great.
 * Now regarding your request, I was unable to replicate your issue on the clean
   installation of the Primer theme. Can you please provide more details(have you
   tried disabling plugins, replicating the issue on a different theme)
 * Also, are you using a child theme, and is your Primer theme up to date?
 * Before checking, make sure you have a backup just to keep you safe.
 * If the issue is with the Primer theme, please provide screenshots confirming 
   issues and a link to the page on which you are experiencing issues.
 * I will then try to replicate the same layout you use to see what can be done.
 * Have a nice day,
    Andrija

 * Hi [@gdandrija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gdandrija/),
 * I have installed WordPress from scratch and done nothing else but install the
   Primer theme.
 * Here is the page:
    [https://www.top100golfcourses.de/wordpress/index.php/beispiel-seite/](https://www.top100golfcourses.de/wordpress/index.php/beispiel-seite/)
 * And here is the screenshot how it looks in the Gutenberg editor:
    [https://abload.de/image.php?img=screenshotruju7.jpg](https://abload.de/image.php?img=screenshotruju7.jpg)
 * As you can see, I have made the image wider in the editor, but no matter how 
   I scale it (wider or narrower), it is always the same size on the page.
 * Kind regards,
    Ulrich

 * Hey [@ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/),
 * Thank you for the update, this seems quite odd. Let’s see if we can narrow it
   down a bit more.
 * Can you please try using the default theme just so you could see if you can replicate
   the issue on the other theme?
 * Here is the screenshot showing how image scaling should work on a clean installation:

 * Note that dimensions of the image in the editor and on the actual page are different
   due to styling. But images do respond to scaling.
 * Make sure also that you are using the latest versions of WordPress and Primer
   theme.
 * Also, one thing I forgot last time, is your website using a caching system(or
   your hosting provider) Could be cache related.
 * I hope this helps, have a nice day,
    Andrija

 * Hey [@gdandrija](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gdandrija/),
    Thanks a lot
   for your help. What your video shows is exactly what I’m after 🙂
 * I changed to the 2020 theme and, as you can see now, I was able to produce a 
   full-width image of the kangaroos:
    [https://www.top100golfcourses.de/wordpress/index.php/beispiel-seite/](https://www.top100golfcourses.de/wordpress/index.php/beispiel-seite/)
 * And on another page I could scale the same image to the full width of the text
   column:
    [https://www.top100golfcourses.de/wordpress/index.php/datenschutzerklaerung/](https://www.top100golfcourses.de/wordpress/index.php/datenschutzerklaerung/)
 * When I switch back to Primer the following happens:
    – The full page width image
   goes to full width of the text column – the full text column width image goes
   to somewhat smaller (about 1-2 em margin on both sides)
 * By the way, any image smaller than text column width remains exactly that size,
   so the scaling seems to work in general, just not when I want to go full text
   column width or more.
 * I am using the latest versions of WordPress and Primer, as I did install both
   of them from scratch. I’m also not using a caching system (I’m pretty sure of
   that because I self-host).

 * Hey [@ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/),
 * Thanks again, now I understand what you were referring to.
 * There are some styling differences definitely and the margin applied to elements
   entered using Gutenberg seems to be the culprit.
 * I informed our developers so they could see what can be done, you can track the
   progress on the link below:

 * Thanks for reporting this, have a nice day,
    Andrija
