I tried the “Disable Jpeg Compression” plugin … did not work. The image is still compressed.
I’ll try editing function.php. I can’t find function.php (perhaps this is a typo). I do see functions.php under wp-includes.
I suspect I can edit functions.php via WordPress … Appearance -> Editor -> Theme Functions.
the plugin doesn’t uncompress existing images — you’ll need to upload new ones.
DO NOT EDIT CORE WORDPRESS FILES!
Functions.php is a file in your theme, which you should also not edit. You want to create a child theme and put it in the child’s functions.php.

I understand. I was uploading new images. The new ones were also compressed.
Is there a web page that describes creating a child theme?

I forgot to mention … I have found some info on a child theme. To clarify, which site do you recommend, that contains clear and concise details?

I’ve decided to create my own .html file (rather than try to create it with WordPress). It works fine.
It would be good if WordPress provided a simple way to disable compression.

Are there any downsides of using .html files, instead of creating these pages with WordPress?
