GuestDecember 28, 2019 at 12:08 pmWordPress resizing larger images is a new feature built into WordPress 5.3, it has nothing to do with your plugin. The reason they did this was because 99% of people don’t need images that large or even close to it and were just uploading images straight from their digital cameras when all they needed was a 1024 X 500 pixel version for instance.
You can disable it easily enough by tossing code in your functions.php file.
