Comment:

 Hi NewEnglandB, welcome to trac.

 Are you using iOS8? IOS8 doesn't have support for srcset with w
 descriptors. You should be able to add
 [http://scottjehl.github.io/picturefill/ picturefill] to polyfill this
 functionality for older browsers that don't support the new responsive
 image attributes, but I will warn you that doing so can lead to double
 downloads in iOS8 (see the "Any Drawbacks" section in
 [https://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/to-picturefill.html this article]).

 A quick way to test this is to install the [https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /ricg-responsive-images/ RICG Responsive Images] plugin, which will add
 picturefill for you by default. Can you let me know this ends up being
 correct?
