    Hello, we are using your great plugin (with addon download selected). Is there any way how to be able to add large images (4-6 MB) into galleries? It ussualy can not process upload and its not working.

    thank you very much

  • This is typically related to your PHP server settings.

    Hi @janbrokes!

    This would be a setting that needs to be changed server side. Our gallery plugin doesn’t set a limit on how large the image files can be. If you reach out to your hosting provider tech support and request they increase the limit for the ‘upload limit’ and ‘post limit’ to each be 50MB, that should fix it so you can upload the larger files in batches ?? While you have their attention you might as well have them confirm this full list of settings, that it matches on your account:

    MySQL v5.6
    PHP 7
    Memory Limit: 250MB
    Upload limit: 50MB
    Post limit: 50MB

    Keep in mind that those are really large image files and if you have a gallery displayed on your site with those full resolution images, it will load really slow – especially on a shared hosting environment. I would suggest resizing the images after you upload, under Gallery > Manage Galleries. Make sure that you have ‘backup images’ turned on under Gallery > Other Options > Image Options before you upload.

    Keep me posted if this helps. ??

    Hmm… With those settings in place, the uploads shouldn’t fail. Do you have any security plugins installed? Sometimes their settings can get in the way. Try deactivating the security plugin and try once more. Also, double check that those server settings are actually applying to your account (sometimes the hosting tech support changes don’t get published correctly). If the changes are published, they should be listed under Gallery > Overview > Site Details. Have you confirmed the permissions are something like 755 for the /wp-content directory?

    Also, are you developing locally or on a live server?

    Thanks!

    hello again, the upload was succesfull when I set (in options) image resizing to 3000 px. Interesting is that original image is about 1,9 mb and has resolution 6016 x 4016.
    After I upload, make gallery and again download them. all images has about 3,5 mb 3000x2000px

    do you understand it?
