Got your latest images pixelated after uploading it to WordPress? Yes, that could be irritating especially on Photography sites. WordPress has a function to adjust the level of the image quality, as described on Developer Code Reference.
Simply put this small code to your functions.php
1 2 3 4 | function update_jpeg_quality( $quality, $context ) { return 100; } add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', 'update_jpeg_quality' ); |
Adjust return number to set the level of compression.
100 = No Compression applied. Change it moderate compression about 80. Anything below 80 will make your images looks pixelated but produced a minimum of file size.
In WordPres 4.5, my old function to add a custom size to media uploader seems not working anymore. But I found that new way to add custom size image is a lot simpler using image_size_names_choose filter.
Basically when you create your own image sizes using the add_image_size function:
1 2 3 4 5 | function add_news_thumb() { add_image_size( 'news', 800, 300, TRUE ); add_image_size( 'news-detail', 1500, 600, TRUE ); } add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'add_news_thumb' ); |
you can just add the new sizes to image_size_names_choose:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | function added_custom_size( $sizes ) { return array_merge( $sizes, array( 'news' => __( 'News Thumbnail' ), 'news-detail' => __( 'News Detail ' ), ) ); } add_filter( 'image_size_names_choose', 'added_custom_size' ); |
