Hi bloggers!
We would like to learn about your experience working with images on the Wix Blog so that we could improve.
Please share your feedback in the comments on the following two topics:
1. Images sizes in the blog post
Do the 4 image sizes currently available satisfy your needs when you create a post? Why?
Which image option do you use the most? Are there image size options you find to be useless? Why?
Do you resize the image before uploading it to the blog post? Why and in what situations? What do you change? Which tool(s) do you use? Please describe the cases in details.
What do you like about the current image functionality in blog posts?
What is problematic about image usage in blog posts?
2. Cover image display on feed
Are you satisfied with how cover images are displayed in the blog feed? Why yes/no?
How do you set a cover image on your feed? 1) The first image from a post is automatically taken as a cover image; 2) Upload an image through post settings. Please explain why.
What, if anything, is problematic about cover image display in the blog feed? Please describe your experience in details: Type of feed, layout selected, image size used, any workarounds applied, information missing, etc.
Thank you and looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
Why can't we display the blog cover image on the blog post it self?
Thanks! But the image comes up correctly until I try to share it. In other words, it’s showing up correctly until hitting linked in icon where I wanted to do share the blog Post. No matter what I do the linked in post sticks w/a different image. :(
2. Cover image in blog not working for me. I had "gallery" chosen w/3 photos. It would default to the first one so I switched the order. To put the one I'd like for the cover 1st. But it still displays the same image (which is now third.) I've spent a good bit of time trying to fix what should be a 10 second action. This is when sharing to LinkedIn (social). FB seems fine.
This is quality post you made a great post here.

Hi, can someone please help? I'm using the post list, out of the box from wix, but users can't click on the image and be linked to the post they are seeing. They can only reach the post by clicking on the Title and Description. Could someone on Wix please fix this? Issue is that if I hover over the image, it seems clickable on Desktop because the cursor changes.
This is in the old editor as our team does not have the time to update this to the Eidtor X without spending a lot of time. We literally just want to make the image clickable, considering our users can also check the blog on their mobile devices. I don't think I can do much on the code side, this is an issue with the out of the box solution from Wix.
I'm building a cartography blog, and when I add my maps as images in blog posts I need viewers to be able to easily enlarge the image to zoom in and get a better look.
I'm not having problems adding the images or sizing them properly within the post, but once the post is published on the site, my problem is that clicking on the image within the post opens to an enlarged view with a HUGE white space above and below the image.. you have to scroll way down to even see it, and scroll all the way up to find the X to get back to the post you were reading. This is an even bigger problem on the mobile version. On neither the desktop nor the mobile editor am I able to control this white space, make it smaller, move the image up, or control options for the enlarged view of images in posts. Note, I am using individual images, not galleries.
So far I haven't come across anyone else posting about this problem. I'm a new Wix user. Is anyone else having this problem, and is there a workaround I can use?
Hello Simona, thank you for this article, it has been quite helpful!
I have a question regarding images in blog posts that I don't have clear yet.
What I'd like to do is to have an image in the beginning of each post, more specifically the correspondent cover image for each post. This means that each blog article would start with a different image, and so far I have only been able to add an image in the beginning of the article that applies to all blog artciles. What I wanted to do is something like:
... each post with its different image (its correspondent cover image). A good example for this is the following website I found in a forum:
https://www.ashowens.com/blog/
you can see that in every blog post you enter, it begins with the correspondent cover image... How can this be done with WixBlog?
Thank you so much for your help Simona!

I added images to my first two blog posts and they worked fine. When I added an image to the third blog post, there were problems. The image is now overlaying the text in blog posts 1 & 2. I deleted the image from post #3, thinking it would solve the problem. But it did not. The unwanted images are still in blog posts 1 & 2. They don't show it the editor, but show up in preview and when published. How do I get rid of the unwanted images?
I an not able to right click on the highlighted area in red and yellow . all the options like new tab etc like this options are not coming .
Hi @Ulla Makena
Please simply install the right-click protect app. Read about it more here: https://support.wix.com/en/article/adding-and-setting-up-the-right-click-protect-app
Cheers!
Hi, I would like to know how to prevent the right click on images in my blog so that they aren't directly downloadable. Thank you!
The first image in my blog post appears as a whole, but in the custom feed, the image appears cut and centered. Due to this my image looks a bit awkward in the custom feed, although it looks fine in the blog post. How do you adjust the image in the custom feed?

Hello!
I'm having trouble with the images on the mobile version of my WixBlog.
When we open a post using a computer the images are ok, but when we open it using a cellphone, the images get cut. I tried to resize but it doesn't allow me to do it just for the image. How can I fix this? Thanks!
Hey All,
just want to update that image size customisation is available, please read about it more here: https://www.wix-blog-community.com/blog/updates/now-you-can-resize-edit-and-enhance-images
Image drag&drop (move the inserted image within post composer) is on the way, as well as more cool features facilitating blog post creation for you and blog reading experience for your readers.
Cheers!

Hi, is it possible to protect from download pictures posted in the blog? The application Click right protect doesn't work with the Blog.
Thank you!
I wish there was a secondary RSS for my Blog available that didnt have picture images included in it. I run a radio station/news media app, and the images from wix dont transfer over in RSS so my app just has blank photo holder images in place of where my photos are on the wix blog. I'd rather have an RSS with just font than have these blank images. Any help or available options that you may know of would be helpful. Tom
Hi,
I'm having trouble with my blog cover photos it always seems to crop most of the picture out. I can't figure out how to rearrange the layout or size of the cover photo nor can I just remove the cover photo all together.
