excess memory

    It seems no matter what I set the memory allowed for scripts to run via php.ini this plugin takes all of it. There should be some process where you limit your own usage of memory.

    This seems to be an overly complicated plugin. I have not been able to figure out how to get this plugin to work flawlessly. I am not a novice and I can’t figure it out. Uninstalling. Not worth the headache.

    EllsWeb,

    Sorry to hear you are having problems.

    Can you please be more specific about what your issue is ?
    Are you seeing out of memory errors ?

    I guess EllsWeb has gone, … but for others reading this thread …

    A clean installation of wordpress with wtf-fu , 2013 theme , wtf-fu 1.1.5 and debug bar shows a total of around 11 Mb of memory usage.

    Uploading files will of course temporarily consume some memory but that is returned once uploads complete.

    Web host default settings normally allow 40Mb for WordPress and 8Mb for individual file uploads.

    To achieve larger file uploads you can set the the php.ini upload_max_filesize to a higher value.

    You can also limit allowed user file upload size with the max_file_size (in Mb) attribute like this
    [wtf_fu_upload max_file_size="16"]

    Note that the php.ini setting will take precedence though.

    If anyone is experiencing out of memory problems with this plugin please first try deactivating any other active plugins and custom themes (including memory testers) and report back so that I can follow up.

    cheers

    Hello, No, I’m not gone, just busy.

    Actually, I need something I can upload large files with. I have settings via server php.ini of 1000mb. I have set the memory to 256mb and then to 500mb and with either setting, the plugin takes all the memory.

    I have tried this both with local install and with hosted install and it doesn’t matter. Yes, I have taken everything back to default. And it has the same problem.

    I have since gone on to use Gravity Forms. It doesn’t give me the multiple complicated steps to set up, there is no issue with memory and I have the option to upload using chunks, which I don’t see with your plugin. You can close this topic because I won’t be using your plugin. Thanks

    Oh, and I am on a dedicated server, there is no shared hosting issue. Just thought I would throw that in just in case that gets brought up. Cheers.

    To upload files there is no workflow steps required you simply
    embed something like [wtf_fu_upload max_file_size=”16″] in your page.
    That’s it!

    Uploads are chunked but no option is supplied to turn that off.

    Closing this, as there is not enough information here to investigate further.
