Greetings!

I am building my first web site and struggling with image sizing. I finally got the image I was working on to display correctly, but when I proceeded to the next section (Blog), all the images are compressed horizontally. The container size has not changed but all the images are compressed into a narrow vertical column. ChatGPT says I probably changed a global setting but was not able to isolate it.

What did I do and how do I fix it please!

Hi @Roland_D_Thomas,

Looks like a style on either the image itself or its parent wrapper is affecting all images in that section. Usually it’s a width/max-width, flex setting, or column layout forcing them into a narrow space.

I’d check the Blog section image settings first, then the parent container/wrapper settings. If you share those panels, we can probably spot it quickly.  
Your url would help here so I can check in dev tools was is wrong! And guide you exactly!

The site isn’t published yet.

Can you see it from this URL?

That didn’t work. The link got replaced with the login link.

Guess I have to publish it first.

Well, I’m not sure what I did, but the images are back to the correct size.

I will dig into the documentation - like I should have done first!

Thanks for the assist!
