    Hi,

    I have placed a gd_post_images shortcode inside inside a GD Archive Item -page, on a site that is using Directory starter theme.
    “image_size” is set to “medium” but the browser always displays the full size image?

    Thanks!

    Hi Anders,

    Thanks for your post. I’ve just checked your Website and it’s working correctly. It’s using a resized version as shown in the attached image.

    Hi Kor,

    Yes, I noticed that in the source also however the browser will ignore this and display the full-size version (try “save image as”), this happens on non-retina small screensize also. I do think that something is not right with the image tag and both “width” and “max-width” are set to full-size image width here.

    Thanks!

    You can try clearing your cache. However, the markup is correct and it is showing the right image, as Kor says.

    Hi Anders,

    That’s the srcset added by WP for the responsiveness of image and it shouldn’t effect the loading speed of the Website.

    The area of the image is over 900 px wide so it seems to be the right image.

    Hi Alex,

    But that doesn’t make sense. If I have specified medium for the size here (which is 300px width) this is the dimension that should be displayed.
    Any extra srcset info should be for serving same dimensions for large resolutions screens?
    Could you please ask developers if this is really the intension here?

    Thanks!

    I installed a plugin which lets me display current featured image default WordPress way.

    Hi Anders,

    Try using the code here https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/hero-section-image-problem/#post-530712 and see if it helps.

    Thank you Kor,

    Well, I do not wish to remove the srcset. I think this is a great addition as it can serve sharper images to greater screen resolutions .
    What I think is strange is that GeoDirectory sets width and height (both for img and srcset) based on the full-sized image.
    If I have specified “medium” then this is the dimensions I expect to see.
    The larger images (from srcset) will display inside medium dimensions but with greater quality depending on screen resolution (as in my attached example from default WordPress)

    Thanks!
