Hi there, I am currently using the masonry blog style with a featured image; my issue is as follows:

1. I am uploading full sized images to my individual posts
2. I am then setting that image as a ‘featured image’
3. The featured image then shows together with the title and some text on the blog front page – http://www.wordsnouveau.com

The problem is that even though each individual masonry ’tile’ is only 300 px wide, the theme is loading the 780 wide image and then displaying it at 300px wide. This has the impact of uploading a number of large images and then shrinking them, slowing down the page load speed of my site.

I would like to know if there is a way to force the theme or WP in general to only load thumbnail sized images? (Rather than the 780 wide ones.)

Solutions I have tried so far are:

– The ‘Regenerate Thumbnails’ plugin
– Changing the width of masonry on the theme settings
– Various other plugins

None of this has worked, so can you let me know please: Is there a way to force the theme to load a thumbnail size, rather than the 780 wide image for display in masonry pages?

Thanks.

Hi, featured images on the masonry are sized 2x to provide crisp images on the high res/retina screens.

Is there any way to disable that behavior? I’d really like it if I could just have a 300 (or so) width image load for the masonry pages? It’s killing my page speed at the moment.

Hi, sorry it is not possible by default and it requires more time and effort to customization, if you are not familiar to wordpress coding you may consider hiring an expert at envato studio.
