Hi,

I am submitting a post to Tumblr that included an image that is of size 744 x 496 to Tumblr. However, when it shows up in Tumblr the image size is set to 540 x 360. I haven't specified any dimension such as 540.. so not sure how Tumblr is choosing this size. Because of this we have a lower quality image on our Tumblr blog.

Here is the message..
Array
(
    [type] => text
    [state] => published
    [tags] => _wp:289
    [date] => 2016-05-23 19:59:44 GMT
    [format] => html
    [title] => Image test    [body] => <figure id="attachment_1467"  class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-1467 size-medium" src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/.../my-photo-744x496.jpg" alt="Some Alt" width="744" height="496" /><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Some Captio</figcaption></figure>
<p>More text ...</p>
    [tweet] => off
)

Any idea what I am doing wrong ? BTW, tried class "size-full" too but no use. Also, "native_inline_image" option doesn't make a difference either

Thanks!

Hello,

Tumblr only supports a few images sizes, with 540 being the standard used on web dashboard. All images will be displayed as a resized 540 when viewed on the dashboard.
