Because Excerpt Plus requires a specific image size so the layout does not break it is create on demand. With that said, you have to make this change by editing the template’s card.php file.

You need to change this:

$entry->getImage( array(
        'image'    => $atts['image'],
        'height'   => 120,
        'width'    => 100,
        'fallback' => array(
                'type'     => $atts['image_fallback'],
                'string'   => $atts['str_image']
                )
        )
);

To this:

$entry->getImage( array(
        'image'    => $atts['image'],
        'height'   => 120,
        'width'    => 100,
        'zc'       => 2,
        'fallback' => array(
                'type'     => $atts['image_fallback'],
                'string'   => $atts['str_image']
                )
        )
);

Notice I added the zc option and set the value to 2. I think that is the setting which will yield the result you require. If not, valid options are 0, 1, 2 or 3. Option 1 is the default and is what is being used.

Hope that helps!
