Just did it, thanks!

Great, thanks a lot indeed. Where can I send you a message, I couldn’t find your address here.

I’ve done it but I’m still getting like 2000 requests with 3000 unique visitors daily. Weird. I reckon the Caching method should be set to “Refresh while loading”, right?

That’s very sad, because otherwise this is a great plugin.

It is now only 500! And they are asking for a ridiculous amount of money if you want to upgrade. I have about 3000 unique visitors daily and my count is around 2000, which means 75% of my shares are not counted!

UPDATE: I just uploaded 2 large images (600 and 1200 megs) and interestingly both are displayed ok in the blog. Can it be that only images up tp a certain size are compressed?

Thanks,

Just deactivated all plugins and it still happens. I also tried with your code on only as a plugin and all others deactivated. I upload a new picture and still the same…

Deer Keesiemeijer, we tried both ways you suggested (change theme css, create plugin) but to no avail – quite annoying considering that my wife and I must have spent at least 60-70 working hours already trying to figure this out. Could this be a general issue pertaining to all WP blogs?

Also, any hints would be appreciated as to why WP has to compress uploaded images (in the downloadable version) when those files are stored on servers that users pay for anyway?

Thanks very much for your kind help!

Thanks. I will do it and let you know if it worked asap.

or any other random percentage (not only 10 or 50), sorry

Keesiemeijer, thanks very much for your prompt reply. This is very helpful, but regarding the example picture I just posted (detailed above and named “accordsezmarc3b.jpg” – which now you can see in the first post on the blog https://www.earthlymission.com): it was downsized from 13 kB to around 7 kB which means an 50% reduction. A 10% reduction, as you indicate above, would be perfectly ok but this much is rather annoying. What could be the problem? All in all, as I say above, WP does not always reduce the uploaded images by 10%: the actual extent varies with apparently no logic at all. It could be 10%, or it could be 50%…

Thanks for getting back to me!

Andrew, thanks for your prompt reply. I switched to the Twenty Thirteen theme and uploaded a rather small image, and unfortunately the problem persists. I left the picture there for your reference (its name is “accordsezmarc3b.jpg”), it is in the first post on the page. The size of the original image I uploaded is 13 kB. This what WP also displays in the right data column in the Media Library if I click on the image (Dimensions are: 370 × 238). But when I post the picture, it is downsized to 7,14 kB. The dimensions actually remain the same: it is the image quality that is reduced (which can be quite annonying in a case like this, when the image is of quite poor quality already – and even that is downsized by half…)

I left the Twenty Thirteen theme and this example image on in the blog for your kind reference.

PS: This seems to happen to ALL the pictures I post, regardless of their original size – but the actual extent of downsizing varies.

I really appreciate your help – thanks very much!
