Maximizing image display on mobile screens

Trying to showcase images stretching from edge to edge on mobile screens has been a challenge. The container's maximum width is currently set to 90%, creating an obstacle. To address this issue, I've implemented a custom CSS class specifically for images that need to be displayed across the full width of a mobile device screen:


@media only screen and (max-width: 768px)
.my-full-width-feature-image {
    width: 100vw;
    position: relative;
    left: 50%;
    right: 50%;
    margin-left: -50vw;
    margin-right: -50vw;
}

The dilemma arises when the above CSS code also affects the figcaption element's display to stretch edge to edge. Is there a way to restrict my class to apply solely to the img element?

I have attempted using ".my-full-width-feature-image img" but it appears ineffective as well.

Below showcases how the HTML content is structured within my WordPress website:


<figure class="wp-block-image size-large my-full-width-feature-image">
<img width="780" height="520" src="https://nomadandinlove.com/wp-content/uploads/swapfiets_review.jpg" data-src="https://nomadandinlove.com/wp-content/uploads/swapfiets_review.jpg" alt="swapfiets bike sharing bicycle with blue tire in berlin with cherry blossoms in the background">
<figcaption>Cherry blossom hunting in Berlin with our monthly bike rental, Swapfiets</figcaption>
</figure>

Answer №1

After conducting a thorough investigation, I stumbled upon a revelation that a plugin I had installed was responsible for placing all my img elements inside a div element.

As a solution, I made the necessary adjustments to my custom code as shown below:


@media only screen and (max-width: 768px)
.my-full-width-feature-image div {
    width: 100vw;
    position: relative;
    left: 50%;
    right: 50%;
    margin-left: -50vw;
    margin-right: -50vw;
}

Now, the img element contained within the div is the only one displaying edge to edge, while the figcaption element remains unaffected.
