If the image is up to 1600 px wide, the crop works as expected 😳 The bigger the image resolution the bigger the crop position error.

I’ve disabled all plugins that I use in production only, but no luck.

Did you double check? * Ok here my wild guesses: - the lightspeed-cache plugin messes with the image – it is not longer located on the correct file-path or have a different image-size than in the images- metadata (in the db) - the lightspeed server has not the same php-packages as your local server * Did you experience any problems if you crop the hole image with the internal ( wordpress) media editor? * Thread Starter [danis039](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danis039/) * (@danis039) * [1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-crop-position/#post-19008608) * Thanks for your reply. * What do you mean by “why on earth should the image sizes be different directly after upload”? * I’ve deactivated LightSpeed Cache from Production for testing purposes (as seen in the log) and the issue still persists. The crop works fine for images with a width smaller than 1600 px but not for larger images. It looks like the selected crop area in the UI doesn’t get mapped correctly to the proper coordinates. I tried different browsers, same problem. * The internal WordPress crop functionality works as expected: * ![](https://i0.wp.com/snipboard.io/8XonIZ.jpg?ssl=1) * ![](https://i0.wp.com/snipboard.io/r3SBlY.jpg?ssl=1) * “the lightspeed server has not the same php-packages as your local server” – any specific packages I should be looking for? * Plugin Author [Volkmar Kantor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/volkmar-kantor/) * (@volkmar-kantor) * [6 days, 7 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-crop-position/#post-19009312) * [@danis039](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danis039/) * Sorry, I misread that. I thought the uploaded image would have a different size after the upload (I misread the first code comparison). * Could you please: - Upload another image to test/production - compare the information displayed in “JS-Debug” (before cropping) between test and prod (it’s best to replace the domains in both versions with a neutral domain so that you can really see only the relevant differences) * I’m currently assuming the following issue: - In the backend, the server is incorrectly recording the metadata (specifically, the image size). - The frontend continues to operate based on these incorrect image dimensions, resulting in incorrect final outputs. * ————- Other tests / checks: - Please also deactivate the “grouping” and test if this is change something.( Reason: maybe the grouping is doing something wrong) - Please paste the following code in the functions.php of your theme. And check your wp-debug.log after you uploaded an image – normaly there should be something like “big_image_size_threshold: 2560”. Let me know if its instead stand at 1600. (Reason: the 1600 is nowhere to be found in my plugin – my guess is that the bug is only present if the plugin uses the large images size instead of the original image size) * ```wp-block-code add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', function($threshold) { error_log('big_image_size_threshold: '.$threshold); return $threshold;}, 9999999, 1); ``` * Thread Starter [danis039](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danis039/) * (@danis039) * [6 days ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/incorrect-crop-position/#post-19009768) * No different sizes detected after upload. There is one difference though between all “gcd” fields. Local (left) is an integer, while prod (right) is a string. Not sure how relevant that might be? This doesn’t happen on other fields. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/snipboard.io/ycqa7o.jpg?ssl=1) * Grouping has no effect on the outcome. * I see this on both environments after uploading any image, regardless of size: * ```wp-block-code big_image_size_threshold: 2560 ``` * The 1600px value I mentioned is not an exact value, just a reference I found after some tests. Probably 1601px works fine as well, but with 1650px, for example, I started seeing an incorrect crop.
