Disable Client Side Media
v1.0.1 · by Adam Silverstein
Disables client-side media processing, so media uploads are processed on the server instead of in the browser.
About this plugin
WordPress can process media uploads in the browser, resizing and compressing images on your own device before they are sent to the server. This plugin turns that off, so uploads fall back to the traditional server-side path.
There is nothing to configure – activate the plugin and client-side media processing is off. It is a single filter:
add_filter( 'wp_client_side_media_processing_enabled', '__return_false' );
Useful when you want to compare server-side and client-side upload behavior, or when a site needs the server-side path for consistency.
