    PHP: 5.3
    WP: 4.4.2

    I installed and enabled the plugin as usual then logged in via SSH, check the filesize of several images. I then visited the Media Settings page and it displays with the new option to adjust the compression. I re-uploaded the same images first at compression 70%, then at 7% just to see Then looked back at the original and new uploads of the same images and saw the exact same filesize (ls -l …). Visually, there was also no change.

    Or maybe it does work. I’m also using a third party gallery plugin to create custom size thumbnails. The plugin does not seem to honor the compression %. However when testing a comparing images uploaded directly through Media manager they tell a different tale. My bad.

    @kohiahin,
    This plugin should work with the versions of WP and PHP that you posted, as long as your server host has installed the ‘gd’ or ‘imagemagick’ tools on it already.

    It sounds like you already debugged this. But if you’re still trying or anyone else is looking — this plugin uses the default priority on the image compression hook it sets. Other plugins sometimes use higher priorities or run based on their installation-order. Try disabling all but one image-handling plugin at a time if you’re debugging compression problems.

    Yes it is working fine with files uploaded via media manager. In testing it matters were confused by a 3rd party plugin. The plugin allowed you to upload using media manager but created custom thumbnails for a gallery which were bypassing this plugin. When I figured this out I checked with the 3rd party developer and found they also provided a plugin to customize the compression – and all is now well on all fronts.
