Thank you! However, that still doesn’t solve the issue. On uploading the images are still being massively compressed. For example a 1.6mb image is going to roughly 155KB. Any ideas?
Thanks

		Hi  @jakeward
I think image compression is a function of wordpress itself so you could try
add_filter('jpeg_quality', function($arg){return 100;});
and then the other suggestion above combined may help.  This code would only affect new uploads.
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		Thank you! I came across this during some research also, but it didn’t seem to have an effect. The quality is still shrinking right down.
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		I have been trying to figure this out for quite some time.  I really do not understand who, if anybody, would want to destroy every image uploaded to a website.  It seems everyone would want nice images.   I am running buddyboss, which is built on buddypress, and even the images uploaded to activity feed are absolutely destroyed.  Changing wordpress compression quality does nothing.  I makes absolutley no sense whatsoever. 
		
	 
	
	
	
 
		
			
	
	
		
		BuddyBoss is a fork of BuddyPress. The respective codebases have diverged, as all forks do.
If you are using BuddyBoss – you should use their support ticket system.
