JPG Quality Level Option Missing in Settings

    Hello,

    On most of my sites I have the option under the Basic tab to change the wordpress default quality levels. But on some of my sites this option is missing. All sites on same server. Am I missing anything? Do I need to add a function to functions.php or something else to make this option appear on the sites where missing?

    Thank you,

    Mark

    Hi Mark,

    Unless you have previously configured it or if something else had changed it to something other than the default 82 of wordpress, that function won’t be there. You can adjust it with an override to wp-config.php:

    define( ‘EWWW_IMAGE_OPTIMIZER_JPG_QUALITY’, 90 );

    where “90” is whatever quality you want.
    Also, I recommend having a look at this article about quality setting: https://docs.ewww.io/article/12-jpg-quality-and-wordpress

    Hi Adam,

    I still don’t understand why I can see it on some sites but cannot on others. Is this something that changed with a more recent version of WordPress? I did install EWWW on these other sites many versions of WordPress ago. The current sites are newer installations where I’m installing your plugin for the first time.

    Thanks,

    Mark

    That setting was removed from our plugin settings and moved to an override, again, unless it had been changed. That would be why it’s not showing up on new installs. If something has changed it to other than 82, it will show up in the settings page. Essentially, the intent is that it was moved to an override because it was being abused and hurting more than helping.

    @adamewww Perfect. I totally understand now. Thank you for the additional clarification.
