[Plugin: WP Photo Album Plus] Upload memory issue

Although the photos are resized during the upload/import process, you may encounter ‘Out of memory’errors.
In that case: make sure you set the memory limit to 64M and make sure your hosting provider allows you the use of 64 Mb.

This is not an error but a warning that you can get memorysize problems.

As you have already 64MB (67108864 = 64M) this appears to be too little.

How big are the photos? (In MB and in pixels please).

Try smaller photos (resize before uploading to a reasonable size) or increase wp memory above 64 mb.

hi,

one image example is:

size: 312 KB
dimension: 2885 x 4808 pixels
resolution: 72 dpi
bit depth: 24
resolution unit: 2

what’s the size and pixel dimension can wppa handle?

thanks.

what’s the size and pixel dimension can wppa handle?

That depends entirely on the available memory in the server.

You will need approx 4 bytes memory per pixel of the original image for the creation of the downsized image and for the creation of the thumbnail + 4 bytes per pixel of the resized image.

So – for this purpose only – you will need – for the example you gave above – approx at least 14 MB memory. Try downsizing it to 600×800 before uploading.

ok will do.

With the settings at 64MB, wouldn’t that be more than enough?

thank you for the fast response.

This used to be sufficient, but wp and other plugins may require more memory nowadays also? I have no problems at all with 104 MB

Version 4.7.11 (available soon) will tell you the maximum size you can upload, based on a calculation of the available memory.
