 * I have a sharpness issue with uploaded photos that are already sized correctly.
 * I’ve gotten advice about what code to insert. The question is: do I access the
   theme content functions:php in the FILE MANAGER at the host site OR is it entered
   from the DASHBOARD > Appearance > theme > functions:php
 * Thanks very much. Ken

 * Dashboard>appearance>editor>functions.php would be THE SAME as File Manager> /
   wp-content/themes/*active_theme*/functions.php
 * EDITED: Good call by [@questas_admin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/)…
   Use a child theme or a custom css feature via plugin instead of editing directly
   the active theme.

 * The best way to make changes like this to a theme is to use a child theme, so
   your tweaks won’t be overwritten when updating the theme. Here are some guides
   in case you haven’t made one before:

 * If you make a mistake with your functions.php file your site will likely go down,
   If you do it in a child theme, then all you need to do is rename the funtions
   file in your child theme to something else by FTP and your site will come back
   online, then you can figure out any mistakes.

 * Again, THANKS for the input. I’ll dig through it all. Back to my issue (besides
   the coding placement). What’s going on is a softness to SOME of my photos, all
   sized properly before upload at 600px x 72dpi. What’s been recommended in the
   forum are a couple of code solutions that remove the size attributes before upload
   which some coders think might solve the problem of softness. If anyone has a 
   further opinion in this thread I’d love to hear it. Here are two suggestions 
   I came across:
    FIRST SOLUTION: dd_filter( ‘post_thumbnail_html’, ‘remove_width_attribute’,
   10 ); add_filter( ‘image_send_to_editor’, ‘remove_width_attribute’, 10 );
 * function remove_width_attribute( $html ) {
    $html = preg_replace( ‘/(width|height)
   =”\d*”\s/’, “”, $html ); return $html; }
 * SECOND SOLUTION:
    function gpp_jpeg_quality_callback($arg) { return (int)100;}
 * add_filter(‘jpeg_quality’, ‘gpp_jpeg_quality_callback’);

 * [@kentannenbaum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kentannenbaum/) You might
   have better results if you mark this topic “entering code” as resolved, since
   we have discussed where to enter the code. Then create perhaps a new topic with
   more specific title like “need code to improve jpeg quality” … Good Luck
