 * Thank you for responding.
 * So to clearly establish what happens, is the following true:
 * 1 – I add a media file to my content – for example, I select an image from my
   media library to be used in a DIVI Image module.
 * 2 – Although in the DIVI Image Module dialog I was presented with the original“
   unshmushed” contents of my media library and selected an “unshmushed” version
   of an image, WordPress somehow does not actually use the “unshmushed” image I
   selected. Instead, it automatically selects one of the smushed image size versions
   of this image and uses this compressed image instead.
 * Is this really what happens? Or am I misunderstanding something?
 * This is why as an embedded systems programmer I am so uncomfortable with web 
   page design. I’m accustomed to having full visibility of what code does. This
   WordPress and DIVI is basically asking me to take it on faith that the right 
   thing is happening, somewhere in the background invisibly. AGH!

 * Predrag, I have two questions:
 * I installed Smush after I’d already populated various ET (DIVI) modules with 
   uncompressed images i’d uploaded to my media library.
 * After running Smush I see where Smush reports the compression of 8 standard WordPress
   versions of any single image I have uploaded.
 * Question 1: Do I have to re-load my images into the various modules from my now-
   smushed media library before I derive the benefit of faster page loads for my
   site users?
 * Question 2: I am confused about how these 8 images are actually used by wordpress.
   When I go through the process of uploading an image into, lets say the ‘image
   module’, the dialog takes me to the media library but the only image file I can
   actually select is the one I originally loaded. Does WordPress automatically 
   pick one of the smaller formats and deliver your smushed version of my image 
   in that format to the image module? If not, how do I make use of these smushed
   formats?
 * I’m an embedded systems programmer, and I’ve read the docs I could find. Still
   confused. If I missed the place where everyone else learns all this basic stuff,
   could you supply a link?
 * Thank you!

 * “Ow yea, you have to rename the file to “something”.zip and extract it and Then
   upload.”
 * This is the only text on this plugin site I’ve found that addresses the question,“
   How do I use a backup to recover or recreate my lost web site?”
 * Have I missed something? Is there a companion “recover” plugin or something?
