Proportional Image Scaling
v1.1 · by sunside
This plugin is an attempt to prevent distorted images when a CSS max-width rule is in effect and the image is inserted using the visual editor.
About this plugin
When a user inserts an image using the visual editor, WordPress automatically sets the
width and height attributes on the image tag. Unfortunately, when the images’ width is
larger than the CSS “max-width” value, the width is capped but the height is not
affected, leading to distorted images.
This plugin either removes all height and width tags from images of a given class
(resulting in a correct “max-width” behavior) or scales them to a given width to assist
browsers in creating the layout.
Known Limiations
- Currently, only pixel values are supported when scaling.
