You probably need to modify the $content_width value set in simplish/functions.php on line 5. See http://www.bloggingteacher.com/setting-max-image-size-for-your-wordpress-themes for a quick explanation.

You can use WordPress’s “child themes” features to keep your own changes like these separated from the base theme code. See http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes for the official documentation, or a tutorial at http://op111.net/53 .

Hi, I posted a large image on one of my pages, and something automatically scaled it down to fit. Then I deleted the sidebar code from all the pages in the theme editor, but the image still stays how small it is. Full size, the image should fit in the new page (without the sidebar). I’ve tried deleting the cache. I’ve tried deleting and re-uploading the picture. The sidebar is not there. I’ve exhausted all the options I know of…what should I do?

Seems reasonable. I’ve filed two new enhancement tickets:

http://code.google.com/p/simplish/issues/detail?id=25

And thanks as always for the astute input.

When I saw “Support new custom menus”, I thought for a moment you added an horizontal navigation menu to Simplish! :-o

You people are fast! Congratulations!

If I may add two little suggestions for a future release:

1. Change the charset declaration to the hypercompact style recommended for HTML5. See: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12483

2. Add ARIA landmark roles. They are perfectly valid HTML5, very easy to incorporate, and recommended by the accessibility people. See again a WordPress trac ticket: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13055
