[Support request] Scaled medium and small images

[Mikko]

Hello!

My medium images are set at 360×360 in WordPress settings. But for some reason, medium images are served scaled, a tiny bit smaller than they actually are.

In this article, Firefox’s ‘View Image Info’ tells me this:
262px × 360px (scaled to 252px × 346px).

I checked a random site from GeneratePress’s showcased sites, and found a very similar problem, a 300px × 169px image scaled to 290px × 163px.

So maybe it’s not just me?

I also tested with a small image, and again the small image was scaled to a bit smaller size than it actually is. What’s happening here?

Hey, I think I found a lot of info on this!

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/14305/caption-in-page-adding-unwanted-10px-to-width/120580#120580

Just a guess: you’ve fixed WordPress’s extra caption padding problem at some point, with a code similar to this, and now the original problem has been fixed?

add_filter('shortcode_atts_caption', 'fixExtraCaptionPadding');

function fixExtraCaptionPadding($attrs)
{
    if (!empty($attrs['width'])) {
        $attrs['width'] -= 10;
    }
    return $attrs;
}

My problem got solved with += 10 instead of -=10.

Ah yes, that’s correct. Glad you found the solution! 🙂
