I then uploaded a 1624x1080 image that was 607kb and it ended up being 640x425 at 147kb (and I also have the medium and small sized images crunched by WP.</p> <p>I was glad this method worked, because I was NOT able to get a plugin solution to work. I tried "Imsanity" which works great going directly through the media library or post upload, but not through GF forms. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-image-maximum-size#post-35371 Thu, 15 Sep 2011 00:17:43 +0000 Brett Weaver 35371@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I found and tried the same function code as above by jimbo. It WOULD do exactly what I need, which is delete the original file and rename the 'large' file to the original file's name so that any WP gallery links, etc would still find an image. </p> <p>However, when I upload images via the GF form (and BTW this is on a MU network site), the image gets put in /2011/07/filename.jpg every time. This is September so they should be uploading to /2011/09/filename.jpg. The function above finds the original file and deletes it (not sure why), but the $large_image_location returns the /2011/09 directory (which it seems it should), but there's no file there because it got uploaded to /07. </p> <p>Feels like a bug to me, but I may not be understanding how GF handles uploads.</p> <p>Thanks for any input.<br /> Brett </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-image-maximum-size#post-28815 Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:39:02 +0000 designkitty 28815@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Jimbo, I needed to resize image after upload too, this is what I did : scales to max width 600 ( for my needs - customize where needed )</p> <p><a href="http://www.chopapp.com/#n9bqd41c" rel="nofollow">http://www.chopapp.com/#n9bqd41c</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-image-maximum-size#post-25932 Thu, 19 May 2011 15:53:59 +0000 jimbo 25932@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hey Carl, I found this piece of code which does the trick but doesn't keep the aspect ratio of the image.

Is there a way to automatically delete the image from gravity image folder? :D </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-image-maximum-size#post-25921 Thu, 19 May 2011 14:54:31 +0000 Carl Hancock 25921@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>When you say original image are you referring to the original image size in the Media Library or the original image stored on the server by Gravity Forms? Because Gravity Forms stores it's file separate from the Media Library. So you can delete Gravity Forms copy of the file and it won't impact the Media Library. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-image-maximum-size#post-25915 Thu, 19 May 2011 13:32:37 +0000 jimbo 25915@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there any progress on this problem? I need this also. The original image is taking to many space on the server especially if people are puting up 2 MB photos. Is there any way to somehow delete the original image and leave the optimized ones instead?! </p> <p>Cheers! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-image-maximum-size#post-24338 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:12:31 +0000 hamedhemmati 24338@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks guys I will try to look into this myself as well and see if I can figure something out. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-image-maximum-size#post-24259 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 12:05:26 +0000 Carl Hancock 24259@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We will have to look into this and see what theMedia Manager is doing differently. Right now it isn't an option, the original size is stored as the original size. The Media Manager than resizes the image to the appropriate media library sizes based on your settings. </p>
