Daily Dish Pro: making images from existing pre-theme posts fit

[tbronson]

Looking to simplify and use Daily Dish pretty much as is, out of the box. However, have over a thousand images from existing posts that are too small to fit max width of posts column in desktop view. Also, there are different aspect ratios, 3:4 and square in the old, and whatever I choose for new posts. (You can see the old image sizes in the site link.)

I'd like those existing images to display at their max size while also fitting with new post images that will be much wider in desktop view. This is an appearance thing, for example, clicking a category or tag, the resulting mix of old and new posts/image sizes should look good together.

I don't want to scale up in code and lose image quality, and can't re-import as the existing size is the original. I'd like to work with the existing images as-is.

Any ideas on how to as simply as possible modify layout so that the different image sizes work together? I am fairly adept at template changes, but the solution could just be in image placement or...whatever may work! 🙂

Thanks!

You can try the regenerate thumbnails plugin, but if the original images are too small, they will be be fuzzy when enlarged. https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Yes,I've considered and rejected sizing up because of reduced image quality.

This must be a problem often faced when switching templates, but I haven't even come up with a search term that finds relevant discussions. Even help with such a term would be fantastic!
