[Resolved] WordPress image scaled down

[takkularapsis]

Hi,

My site started to scale down image i import to site. I use site for layouts to show. All imported images have been 2000 wide but no wp scales it down to something like 1400px…what could be causing this.

Hi there,

I’m looking at the source of the image and it’s only 1138px in width?

Hei,

Yes it is, the original image is 2000px wide, but when i import it to wordpress, it goes something like 1200-1500px wide and image is renamed imagename-scaled.jpg?

Hasnt done this before…

GP really doesn’t interfere with the media upload option from WordPress.

What happens if you disable all plugins?

If the issue still exists, what if you switch to a twenty series WordPress theme?

Hi,

I have disabled all the plugins, tryid with different theme also. I think it not a GP issue, but i just dont know where to ask. It has started to do this after few weeks ago. Any site i try to download image 2000px wide, 4500px height it compresses it to 1138 x 2560px. Losing it :/

HI there,

if its happening with all themes and you have tested it without any plugins the next step would be to speak with your host to see if there is any server side changes being made.
