Disabling Big Image Threshold?

    Hello,

    I am having a major issues uploading large images to my media library.

    The image dimensions are 2240 x 1000 and WordPress keeps automatically resizing it to 1920 x 857.

    I really need this to not happen because it is causing my slider image to be unacceptably blurry. Is there a way to turn this off?

    I’ve tried adding a hook to my functions file add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false' ); and uploading the image through FTP. When I upload via FTP the image is successfully uploaded but I do not see it in my library.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    By Uploading Image with FTP, You meant that you override/replace the existing image in which you have issues then you’ll have to regenerate thumbnails again for that image.

    HI Vijay,

    Thanks for responding.

    I have tried two options via FTP after uploading the image via WordPress:

    1 – Upload and overwrite the image again via FTP/File Manager in cPanel (I have used both Notepad++ and File Manager in cPanel).
    2 – Rescaled the image using the scaler option in cPanel.

    Both options claim to have been successful however, when I return to the WP dashboard to check, it still displays the old dimensions and file size.

    That could be a cache issue, Open the image URL in a new tab, and with the force-reload, you should be able to see the updated dimensions.

    Note: Make sure you’re checking the original path since wordpress might have created a scaled path for an image that shows as the default file image while the original image path is saved in meta data.

    I found a solution!

    After uploading the image via FTP, I used the Bulk Media Register plugin to register the new photo to the WP media library. This method avoided the auto scaling done by WordPress.

    Thanks for all your help. Marking as resolved.
