    Hi,

    if we upload images. Sometimes it happens, that a image with “-scale” in the filename gets created.

    This is also the File that show up in the media library.

    Why does this happen? Are there any Limits ? Width/Height, File Size because this additional File gets created ?

  • That sounds like a function of your theme, I suggest contacting the theme developer for support.

    I’m having the same problem since the updating to WordPress 5.3 every large image is being scaled down dramatically on upload and all say “scaled” in the file name.

    I changed the media setting to zero and still images are being scaled on upload.. I even went back to the previous version of my template but nothing changes

    Anyone else have this problem or maybe a solution? is this a wordpress 5.3 bug?

    It appear that this is a new feature in 5.3 – according to Ithemes.com and they say you can disable it with Note: You can disable automatic image resizing with the big_image_size_threshold filter but how to you do that?

    @organichat and everyone

    I just found this

    Introducing handling of big images in WordPress 5.3

    It is just adding this to your functions.php

    add_filter( ‘big_image_size_threshold’, ‘__return_false’ );

    Will the addition of add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false' ); to functions.php be overwritten each time WordPress updates?

    If you put it in the functions.php it will be overwritten everytime this file gets updated.

    maybe you should use a pluugin for this then.

    But cant tell you which one is good or not
