    Hello,
    Im having an issue with this feature. I changed the sizes to what I wanted, then I changed the thumbnail size to be somewhat larger, and now the media sizes I have under the settings menu do not match with those shown when I upload an image and want to insert them into a page/post!

    Is there a way to rest to the default wordpress sizes?

    thanks,

    There isn’t a way to reset the defaults at the moment, however, you can set thumbnails to 128×96, medium to 300×300, and large to a size that best fits with the theme you are using.

    Hello,

    well if a can’t reset the media sizes to the default settings, how can i make the media manager actually offer the media sizes i have set under the Settings>Media menu?
    Because it doesn’t offer the sizes i have inserted, the sizes actually change with every image!

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    thanks

    I have the same issue. I set the large image to a a width of 570, but always is added with a width of 320.

    Thanks!

      Some themes can set the maximum size at which an image can be inserted. You might want to check your theme.
