 * Hi,
 * Like this plugin as it avoids me having to mess around with bought theme settings
   or creating child themes. However, when I add a custom size, the size inserted
   into the post is wrong and shows wrongly in parenthesis when I choose my custom
   size. I chose 1170 * 300 and crop center center. The image is created correctly
   on the site and the correct image is inserted but the size attributes that are
   inserted at the same time are wron: width=”660″ height=”169″. Any idea why that
   might be? Bug?

 * Hi !
 * Try to check if your theme have a $content_width var .
    This is forcing the image
   size inserted.

 * You are dead right, thank you – only question now is what that means for the 
   theme in combination with the plugin, will do some more googling but thanks for
   the hint

 * You’re welcome 🙂
 * There is not very much solutions since WordPress is overriding the values…
