Get Filesize Shortcode

Description

“Get Filesize Shortcode” is a simple shortcode to get filesize of a file( eg. PDF, JPG, PNG … ) with a human readable format, using the largest unit the bytes will fit into.
Now added Get filesize block to display file link with file size.

Usage

Put [filesize]https://yoursite.com/path/to/file.pdf[/filesize] anywhere in a post.

Or you can use url attr instead. [filesize url='https://yoursite.com/path/to/file.pdf']

Also you can place <?php echo do_shortcode('[filesize]https://yoursite.com/path/to/file.pdf[/filesize]'); ?> in your templates.

As to “Get filesize” block, search ‘get filesize’ in Text block category and insert it.
Set file title and file url, and it generates a text link to the file with file size afterwards.
You can toggle Preview/Edit by clicking Preview/Edit button in toolbar of the block.

Note

• File must be in your server
• With files larger than 2MB, it might return different number due to the spec of filesize function of PHP.

I’m using Toolset Types plugin for collecting attachments to the post. The plugin gives the URL path of my attachment. I needed to display the size of my attachment in my template. This plugin did the job. Other places I looked, we needed the ID of the attachment from the DB and it was a complicated and probably SQL-heavy way to query the wp database to find the ID from the URL. This plugin accomplishes the task without needing to check the database (I checked the plugin code.. no db lookup)
