🐛 Issue: Unable to resize author image in Toha v4

[youssef-abbih]

Hugo version: 0.146.0
Toha version: v4
OS: Ubuntu 24.04

📝 Problem description

I’m trying to increase the size of the author image on the homepage.

In author.yaml, I configured:

image: "images/author/me.png"

But on the homepage the author image is rendered too small. Looking into the code, I found this in partials/home.html:

{{ $authorImage = $authorImage.Fit "148x148" }}

I tried changing 148x148 to a larger size (e.g., 300x300), but I’m not sure if this is the proper way to adjust the size. I also want to make sure the image stays responsive and looks correct on all screen sizes.

💡 What I’ve tried

✅ Updated the value in partials/home.html
✅ Cleared Hugo cache and rebuilt site (hugo server -D)
✅ Put a higher resolution image in assets/images/author/me.png

But the image still looks small or pixelated.

❓ Request

Could you clarify:

1. What’s the recommended way to increase the author image size?
2. Should I update the image size in Hugo’s image processing (Fit) or use CSS for this?
3. Is there a way to make the author image larger and responsive while still supporting retina displays?

✅ Expected behavior

• The author image should appear larger on the homepage (e.g., double the current size).
• It should scale correctly on smaller screens.

I’ve fixed this by adding inline CSS directly to the tag in home.html to set a larger size for the author image.
It’s working as expected now. Closing the issue.
