   I'm wondering whether there is any way to resize images before upload in wordpress to a specific height / and / or width.

   why? cause we're doing a portal with multi user. we don't want full size images get linked, we only need 800/600px.

   i tried:

   scissors plugin - no display under multimedia.
   resize on upload plugin - not enough php memory with 3mb jpgs.

   i could delete full size pictures manually by ftp.
   but then i'd need an automatic "resize also to 800/600" function when inserting a picture thumbnail into a post. the 800/600 px version then should be linked directly...

   is there any way to get wordpress linking the jpgs directly instead of opening in an attachment by default?

   cheers

   What about increasing your PHP memory so that resize on upload works? I have just done exactly that by adding a line of code to the config file:

   /** This is will increase the php memory to 64M */
   define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

   Put this anywhere before the bit that tells you to stop editting.

   Of course you can change 64M to be a different amount. But with this I was able to process files of 3.8Mb
