Hello,

To avoid huge images, we added a limitation to the size of the images the users can upload.

Several users of our site have difficulties to find and operate an external software to resize their image.

Is there a way to solve this? No integrated solution or third-party plugin to resize images "on the fly" when users add them to a post?

Thanks!

The 'Advanced Attachments' plugin now includes the capability to compress images on the fly.

We employ a server-side compression method, utilizing either the GD library or Imagick.

Please refer to the attached screenshot from the 'Advanced Attachments' settings page for more details. 

Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Advanced Attachments

To utilize this feature, all you need to do is increase the maximum upload size for users to allow them to upload files to the server. After a successful upload, the compression function will automatically reduce the size of the media.

Hey @blackraz , can you clarify this?

Is this compression done on my own server (i.e. where my WordPress site is hosted) or are images sent to an external/third-party server?
