    Is it possible to specify the size of the image rendered by the_content?

    you do this when yo insert the image into the text of your post/page.

    you can edit the image, and use the advanced option to set the image size exact to the pixel

    Sorry I wasn’t clear.

    I have a category whose posts consist of a single, captioned image.

    index.php currently renders each image in a different size container, with attributes to allow CSS to change the apparent size.

    But still lots of large images are downloaded.

    I would like to be able to specify what size of image is to be downloaded – thumbnail, medium, original.

    Is that possible? Will I need to subclass the_content() ?

    Thanks

    Just customize the loop for that particular category. e.g.

    Here’s the normal loop:

    <?php
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    // NORMAL LOOP OUTPUT GOES HERE
endwhile; endif;

    You’re going to replace // NORMAL LOOP OUTPUT GOES HERE with something like this:

    if ( in_category( $id ) ) {
     $attachment_images = get_posts( array(
         'post_type' => 'attachment',
         'numberposts' => 1,
         'post_parent' => $post->ID
     ) );
     $attachment_image = $attachment_images[0];
     wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_image->ID, 'large' );
} else {
    // NORMAL LOOP OUTPUT GOES HERE
}
 ?>
