let you in your Settings > Media screen.

 2. Go to the Settings > Media screen, and set the Content Width!
 3. There is no step three!

This is a very helpful plugin. My galleries were only 500 px wide and my theme said
it was not their problem. My only question is…will there be an update? Wordfence
is going to email me every day now to tell me this plugin has been abandoned. It
works perfectly though…and I don’t know how to update the php file on my own.

My mosaic galleries were being displayed at the default 500px width because of my
theme, and I couldn’t figure out how to fix it. This plugin did the trick. Thanks1
