I upload image with size 520 * 170 px.
Attach this image to category and save.
Result - image on site very small, only 117*45 px.
Go to setting / image / Category Image Size and make bigger size 800 * 500.
Save - nothing change. Image very small. If I change Category Image Size to 1500 * 1000 - nothing change.
Category Image Size always small.
Please help

Remove your cache when you make changes, it still might be using old generated images because they still exist. If you purge the cache and delete old generated images your changes should take affect. Also make sure you're not using a CDN or anything else that would serve cached resources, clear your browser cache too.
The images will be modified accordingly to ratio so what out for that, use a ratio that matches what you have set on your site.

I tried this method and this one don't help.
Image always small, size don't changes.
I delete all images from cache, set category image size 600*250 px.
Upload image to category. Site generate new catalog image with correct size 600*250 px.
I download this image from site cache and check it, all is OK. But finally on-line I see only small image with size 117*55 px.
Please help

Not sure where it is for you, as I am using Journal with Opencart BUT
find Items per Row and drag the sliders to make the pictures bigger or smaller?
For Journal it is Journal > Settings > Category Page > Subcategories > Items per Row
not sure if you have that ability with your setup.
Good luck!

Experiencing the same problem with a fresh install. Seems to scale the image down to around 165 x 165 in full screen desktop mode. Something doesn't seem right because if you right click and save the scaled down image, it saves at full size specs. Any help would be much appreciated.
Using OC 2.0.2.0

If you have link to your site, it might help.
But my prediction is the image scaled down because it's how responsive image work
Code: Select all
<div class="col-sm-2">
<img src="http://example.com/image/cache/catalog/demo/compaq_presario-400x400.jpg" alt="Desktops" title="Desktops" class="img-thumbnail">
</div>
say that the image container is 16.6% percent width. And the
img-thumbnail force image width to 100% (relative to 16.6%). So it will always scaled down regardless the image size.
Another check worth to try is to resize your browser so it's imitate phone screen width. The image size will change because
col-sm-2 in phone screen is 100% block width

Thank you for your input, it helped out allot. I found a fix to the issue.
Navigate to the following:
Code: Select all
catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/category.tpl
Find the following code:
Change it to:
Now you can have your category images stretch across the screen in desktop mode.
