Anyone has a solution how can you put pics on without them being posted sideways instead of up and down vertical
It is explained in this section of the user guide, but short version is to make an edit to the photo first, such as cropping it.

Or just take the photo in landscape mode, like God intended. ๐

@Armchaircouch I try not to judge, but then I see someone taking a photo with their phone upright and...
๐๐ Sometimes even i slip! ๐ญ i am but a hooman
out of the whole debacle, though I only had to edit two photos (at least, for horizontal purposes!) now its a matter of - do I Flip it to the left or flip it to the right because one is correct and the other one ends up upside down and Iโm not sure which yet ๐ @kel
@Armchaircouch I've been the designer who was asked to make a portrait picture fit a landscape layout more times than I can count. ๐
oh god
i know your struggles. from my own work, as well as from my business partner, who doesnโt understand why certain photos just donโt work in a certain layout Iโm like look, ok let me just show youโฆ
them, who have no aesthetic eye and get it but still want it ugly but also want to play along: โOOOOhhh ok I seeโโฆ @kel

@Armchaircouch I remember trying to find a picture of large blonde lazy curls to back-fill the background.
I decided that she's a photographer and that she could probably take a more suitable picture, right about the time I was looking a page full of yaks. ๐
๐๐๐ just all HAIR SLSKKSKSSS @kel
@Armchaircouch Right? Lol.
My favorite was the photographer with the huge blonde curls who wanted her headshot to span the top of the page.
She gave me a portrait of herself standing at a distance in front of a tree. ๐
