Photo Upload : 0.2 MegaPixel limit

  • Hi there,

    I am using your plugin on a site and when using the front-end uploader shortcode, I am finding that it is imposing an arbitrary file limitation of 0.2 MegaPixel. I would like to know where I go to change and increase this limit. I have looked through the settings area and can’t see where to increase this.

    The full error message I am seeing is below:

    mywebsite.com says:
    The image is too big. Max photo size: 463 x 347 (0.2 MegaPixel)

    Here is the shortcode I am using:

    [wppa type=”upload” album=”1″ align=”left”][/wppa]

    Just a follow up: if I use a small photo, the uploading works, but then it throws another error:

    Mail sending failed.

    There is a built-in check for the max pixelsize that the server memory can handle during the creation of thumbnails. Mostly this check is correct, but in certain circumstances the calculation is incorrect.

    Photo Albums -> Settings admin page. Open Table XII, scroll down to the php settings and look for memory_limit. Please tell me the numbers at that line.

    To bypass the memory check, you can untick the items in Table VII-D3 and D4.
    If you are really low on server memory ( < 64 MB ) uploads may fail without giving a proper errormessage.

    The errormessage ‘Mailsending failed’ appears when the wp function wp_mail() fails.
    From the wp documentation:

    For this function to work, the settings SMTP and smtp_port (default: 25) need to be set in your php.ini file.

    Check, or ask your hosting provider, if your php.ini file meets these conditions.

    If you do not want upload notification emails, untick Table VII-B8 and 9

    Hello, I can’t see Table XII, it only goes up to Table IX. I have upgraded to the latest version. I can see the “Disable uploading photos that are too large.” though.

    Perhaps there is a setting I need to activate to show tables above IX?

    No, you should see all tables unless there is a fatal error.
