Importantly, images must be saved to particular specifications before upload. If you don’t have Adobe Photoshop or one of the alternatives there are other options for resizing your images. Image specifications can be found as a comment above the image input fields. Please contact developer@husk if you need help determining image sizes. 

Option 1: Gimpshop, a free photo editing program, has similar features to Photoshop and has a user manual incase you get stuck. You can download it here: gimpshop.com

Option 2: If that’s more complicated than you’re after then have a go with this online tool for resizing your images. Go to: picmonkey.com

Option 3: It is possible to edit image sizes within WordPress. See section 03 ‘Upload or edit an image‘ below for how to do this. 

Before you upload, ensure you don’t have spaces or special characters (such as an ampersand (&)) in the filename of the image. In some circumstances this causes the image to not appear or the page to break!

These naming constraints also apply to files (e.g. PDFs), folders and categories.

Upload an Image to Media (or Edit Size / Orientation)

Navigate to Media. You can drag the image from your computer directly onto this Media page, or alternatively upload new images by clicking ‘Add New’.

To change the size of an image file, click the image you want to change. Under the image preview, click the ‘Edit Image’ button.

Here you can change the size and orientation of the image. Editing the image will overwrite the old image with your new edited one.

Change an Existing Image on a Page

Navigate to Pages >> All Pages, and click on the page the image is on.

Images that can be changed will appear as editable fields on this page (you may need to expand some tabs to see all available editable fields). Hover over the current image, and click on the ‘Remove‘ icon.  Click the ‘Add Image‘ button to select a new image. 

Note: some types of pages, such as blog posts or product images will use the Featured Image that appears on the right hand sidebar. You can remove the featured image by clicking ‘Remove featured image’ and selecting a new one to replace it. 

If the image is already uploaded to the website, select the new image from the ‘Media Library’ tab.

To upload a new image select the ‘Upload Files’ tab to upload your image before selecting it.

Be sure to save the page once you are done updating your image(s). For instructions on how to do this, see ‘Page Management’.
