I got rid of the test example post because it was ugly. But what happens is that if I post an image that is 500 px wide, that is a tad wider than the “post area”. Moshu above suggests that the width of the post area could be controlled through the size of this file: [http://martinioclock.com/blog/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg](http://martinioclock.com/blog/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg) but, in fact, that changes the width of the overall page (not the post area alone), according to my tests. * Ah well. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Changing the width of the default template for images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-width-of-the-default-template-for-images/) * Thread Starter [wickenden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wickenden/) * (@wickenden) * [20 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-the-width-of-the-default-template-for-images/#post-298727) * sigh… I’ve seen that suggestion (to not try to change the default) in the forum, but had hoped it wouldn’t be a big deal to just change this one thing. But I’ve made a bunch of changes already to the sidebar, and would like to not try to make them again elsewhere. And, I like this style… * but, I tried the above suggestion, or my understanding of it, by resampling the jpg that supposedly sets width to 800 pixels, which is something like 60 pixels wider than the original image. To no avail! I see no difference in the resultant page, even after clearing my cache. I’d love a clarification if someone is willing… * don Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)
