Exclude an array
Strange but it works with same principle I was trying to. Maybe I had some grammer error. Here is a code if somebody will need it in future as there was nothing in search result: // get product media library $mediaArgs = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘attachment’, ‘post_mime_type’ => ‘image’, ‘numberposts’ => -1, ‘post_status’ => null, … Read more

Yes, there is actually a filter hook to change JPEG compression ratio. You could add these lines to your functions.php: add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, ‘jpeg_custom_quality’ ); function jpeg_custom_quality( $quality ) { return 70; } You may change 70 to whatever value you want.

An image can be attached to any number of posts … Read more
