Happy new year.

I have a friend who is trying to build a website for a local charity that he is involved in and sent me a question that I have no idea about.

He is using wordpress for a website. When he adds an image from another website using it's address it always takes up 100% of the width. Although he can resize it in the WP editor, when viewed it reverts to 100%.

How can he make it fit the size he needs?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Hi. Not sure specific to this issue.
I assume the image being used is off another website.
It is never advisable to use images from other websites for a few reasons. Firstly, some webhosts will stop other websites from continuously requesting its resources to manage leaching, bandwidth etc..

Secondly, if that website went down, or the image changed then you have no control over the image.

I would contact the site, ask to use the image (copyright, even using the url and displaying on another site breaks copyright) then do as the previous poster suggested.
