Hi Nithin,

Thanks so much for checking this out, So I installed the mu-plugin and ran a test. Image file uploaded into the gravity form was 4.9mb and image size that was sent to me ( and stored on the server) was 5.2mb… it someone went the opposite way.

It didn’t really much make much difference but thanks for checking it out, if you feel like digging further just let me know if there is anything you need from my side.

Regards

Simon

Hi Kris,

Thanks for your reply.

By default Gravity Forms creates it sown directory in the uploads folder and the uploads don’t automatically go into the standard WP media library.

I have done the Directory Smush on the Gravity Forms folder in the uploads folder but this just Smushes the existing files in there, Im looking for a way for the images to be smushed/compressed when they are uploaded in a form and sent so they are compressed when they get emailed.

Thanks

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your help and looking into it.

Yes, Im running the latest version of GF 2.7.3.

I think maybe we might be thinking of different things, So I have a Gravity form that has a “upload your images” section in it, when people uploaded their images they get uploaded into a separate folder in the uploads directory ( not the media library ). Problem is now or server is maxing out in terms of space and before I clean it up, going forward I was hoping it would be possible for any images uploaded into the form get compressed smaller to avoid them taking up too much space.

If I upload a 4mb image into the form and then press send, that same 4mb image gets stored on the server and sent to me via email without smush compressing it.

Hopefully that makes more sense, ideally if possible it would be great if smush could compress that image on upload from a form. At the moment it isn’t.

If you would like to see the test form you can view it on gocamp.co.za/test-page

Thanks

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the feedback, Yes, As I mentioned in my post I have ‘Compress Original Images’ set to ON as well as ‘Automatically Compress my images on upload’ plus the Gravity Form integration is set to ON as well.

When I upload a image into a gravity form and send it form I receive the same size image, nothing seems to be compressed in anyway.

Ideas?

Thanks

Hi Robert,
