How to solve image resizing problems for your blurry header
Strange Resize, Blurry Header
I had major problems to add my header in the right size on my website. I tried everything to get the size right, nothing worked.
Untill I suddenly had an enlighting moment!
The EWWW plugin was the culprit
My header is 1170
The EWWW settings where max 1000 px
So everytime I loaded up my header picture with the required 1170 px it was reduced to 1000 px with the EWWW plugin.
Finally, the penny fell, when I deactivated the plugin, the header image appeared in the right size.
I now have changed the settings of the EWWW plugin as follow:
I changed the resize setting to 1200 px (just above my header size)
And I unchecked the box before allow resizing of excisitng media library images.
This was on my workathomefuture website
Blurry header on "This is kids art"
The EWWW settings there is 600 px
I changed the settings on this website into 1260 px (my header size)
The header isn't blurry anymore!
Everything works perfect now!
You can change the settings back to 600 px if you like, just leave the box unchecked!

Good afternoon Loes,
Om een punthoofd van te krijgen!
I am happy to see you up there again!
Here it has finally rained, last was in April, my 100 orange trees are happy.
Have a good Sunday.
Greetings from a still warm south of Spain, 30 C, Taetske
Thanks, yes, I really had a lot of troubles to find out this "why", I hate blurry images.
Ach gister stond ik ineens op 17 nu weer op 25, en mijn creator rank is van 14 naar 35 gegaan, ik geef het op om dit te begrijpen
Loes, I don't WANT what others are offering. I am sticking with Mel to the end. Nobody will ever get a chance to say in court. " Maxine Georges used their image without autthorization.
That was totally uncalled for Maxine. Loes was not recommending you use anyone's artwork for their header, but simply letting you know how to fix the size and blurriness once it's there. How very insensitive!
She is referring to onmyownterms and his making others aware of using graphics without license or rights will lead to lawsuits. One has nothing to do with the other.
You are very noble to defend Loes. This is how it should be. By all means lift one up and tear down another. I am built for this assault.
Just needed to let you know, this response was not intended for Lord or this blog. So, please accept my apology too!
Have a great weekend!
Maxine
Good one Loes.
Those plugin default settings just do not suit every image so you have to tweak them a wee bit and a lot of the new members wont know about this so now they do.
Hope you're having a great Sunday.

Yes, they are doing some weird stuff in the back office, I see major fluctuations, yesterday, I went up to 17, today I see 25 on my dashboard and my creator rank went from 14 to 35.
This algorithm beats me.
So it will be soon end of story, I reckon
Strange, definitely at 17 on the rank list unless it hasn't updated, although my rank number updated about 30 mins ago
With these kind of fluctuations we can be shot into any direction, they are obviously changing things
