Slightly smarter filtering to remove hard-coded width and height attributes from *all* images in WordPress (post thumbnails, images inserted into posts, and gravatars). Handy for responsive designs. Add the code below to the functions.php file in your theme's folder (/wp-content/themes/theme-name/ ). Remember to rename the function as needed to …

gistfile1.php

/**
* Filter out hard-coded width, height attributes on all images in WordPress. 
* https://gist.github.com/4557917
*
* This version applies the function as a filter to the_content rather than send_to_editor. 
* Changes made by filtering send_to_editor will be lost if you update the image or associated post 
* and you will slowly lose your grip on sanity if you don't know to keep an eye out for it. 
* the_content applies to the content of a post after it is retrieved from the database and is "theme-safe". 
* (i.e., Your changes will not be stored permanently or impact the HTML output in other themes.)
*
* Also, the regex has been updated to catch both double and single quotes, since the output of 
* get_avatar is inconsistent with other WP image functions and uses single quotes for attributes.
