Featured Images look extremely poor #294

Closed johnpitchko closed 6 months ago

Included a Featured Image in my post. Original resolution of the image is 1176x1657. When the post is rendered, the image looks really bad, like it was shrunk then scaled to fit the 700px width of the content column, or like it was hit with a really aggressive JPEG compression.

Tried replacing the original image with one I manually resizing image to 700x986px. Issue remains.

Ok dug into this a bit more and it seems that even though I upload an image at full-width resolution (700x986), Wordpress/the theme is resizing it to be 497x700. The theme is resizing to a height of 700 instead of a width of 700.

At least this is what I think based on my novice'ness.

The theme does this resizing on purpose. There's a work around noted here: https://github.com/raamdev/independent-publisher#how-can-i-use-a-full-size-image-for-featured-images You can also surf through prior closed tickets to see some additional thoughts on the matter.
