The media library is part of WordPress and is what Beaver Builder uses when add images to modules and so forth. Therefore, you may want to check out this article - https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/fix-jpeg-compression/
I am using the Beaver Builder child theme, according to this article if I put the code into the functions.php file in the child theme folder then it should start working right? Considering cache flush etc?
That article is actually quite misleading
If you read the comment by ‘Dave’ (not me BTW), on April 13 2015, I completely agree with him.
The author does not understand what the percentage actually means.
Cheers, Dave
ps - Incidentally I read this just the other day, makes interesting reading…
One thing I noticed is that the lightbox pulls up a smaller dimension sized version of the image if the image comes from a gallery element such as on this page: https://waterfowlstampsandmore.com/killer/killer-two/
Is there anything to be done to make the gallery elements in the builder when its set to “link to image url” to actually go to the actual image instead of example-image-1024x768.jpg?
Thank you, just been hitting my head against a keyboard trying to figure this out.
I did some playing about on my test site and I believe the gallery module is similar to the WordPress gallery where it will only use an image that has been generated based on your largest media file size option.
To resolve your issue, you will want to navigate to your WordPress Admin Dashboard > Settings > Media and increase the largest media size option drastically, as you have some rather large images (one of the them is 7MB).
Once you have set this, install if you haven’t already the Regenerate Thumbnails plugins and run the plugin. When you refresh your gallery page and click on an image. It should be using a much larger version of that image or the full image if you set the largest media size to something very large…
