So far so good.<br /> I now need to grab that image and resize it. I'm trying to do it with wp_get_image_editor() as following: <code>$image = wp_get_image_editor( $file );</code> where $file is the correct path to the image.</p> <p>However, this returns the following error:<br /> <pre><code>[0] =&gt; WP_Error Object ( [errors] =&gt; Array ( [invalid_image] =&gt; Array ( [0] =&gt; File is not an image. ) ) [error_data] =&gt; Array ( [invalid_image] =&gt; <a href="http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/13-37ec33fbff5089a494d9ad0574a67403/2013/05/la-fitness.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/13-37ec33fbff5089a494d9ad0574a67403/2013/05/la-fitness.jpg</a> ) )</code></pre> <p>Any idea what might be wrong? Maybe I need to pass mime type to wp_get_image_editor()? I don't know how to do it.</p> <p>I would hugely appreciate any help.</p> <p>Many thanks,<br /> Dasha </p>
