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?

Hi @veganostomy ,

The image compression is performed directly on your own server, where your WordPress site is hosted. The images are not sent to any external or third-party server for compression.

@blackraz Thank you. I've purchased a license and have been testing it. I can upload HIEC photos, but it will not show an inline preview, nor will it show a full-size preview in the lightbox.

How can I fix this? HIEC files is the reason I considered this addon in the first place.

@veganostomy 

If you want to use HEIC images for resizing and other image processing, your server needs to have Imagick/ImageMagick with HEIC support enabled.

Please contact your hosting provider and ask them to check whether ImageMagick/Imagick is installed and configured with HEIC/HEIF support. 

If HEIC/HEIF support is not currently enabled, please ask them to enable it on the server.
