[Resolved] #286 : Gallery custom field can only choose full size original files

Hi Roman,

Thank you for getting in touch. The problem here is that wordpress addes the -scaled.jpg extension automatically for images that are large.

To disable this you can use this filter below.

add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false' );

Additionally you can find further information on this below.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,

Hi Roman,

Actually no it isn't. Even when the items are uploaded using an image field they are done using the WordPress API.

If the function doesn't work then you will need to reduce the size of your image.

Thanks,

Hi Roman,

What I mean is that even if you upload the images to your site using our Custom Fields, the image is still process by wordpress image API and will get the scaled added to it regardless.

I've just tested this filter hook on my end and it works fine. Can you try adding it to Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code and ensure that you've activated it.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Roman,

I believe I understand the issue now.

Unfortunately our Shortcode doesn't give the option to display the default scaled image, you will need to use one of the scaled sizes that wordpress provides by default or define a custom scaled size.

What I mean by the default scaled sizes are Medium, Large and thumbnail.

Thanks,
Shane
