Large pixel size images not uploading

    I seem to be having an issue here, I can’t quite get an answer to. I’ve got a large image that just won’t upload! it’s NOT a large image in size, it’s only 1.5mb, but it is a 5000px wide image (it is required to be that size for the shortcode I’m using).

    For some reason I cannot get an image of 5000px wide to upload to WordPress, no matter what I do. I’ve created a php.ini and increased the usual suspects..max_file_upload, post_upload etc.. But nothing is fixing it.

    The error is just generic, Error uploading, please try again!.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey @liquidshrapnel, what did you set for the upload_max_filesize? Just curious. Sometimes setting this just a little higher than you need, like 5M can help.
    Also, have you tried a different image that is also 5000px wide? Maybe there’s something wrong with the image file itself.

    Good Luck!

    Hey @dana-wildflower, I put them up quite high, this is what i put into a custom php.ini (I’ve also checked that the changes have taken effect):

    memory_limit = 96M
    upload_max_filesize = 128M
    post_max_size = 128M
    max_execution_time = 5000
    max_input_vars = 5000

    I’ve tried two different images of the same dimensions, but no luck

    Hey @liquidshrapnel, sorry to hear you’re still having a problem with this. To me it seems to be a pixel width issue and not actual file size one.

    Out of curiosity I ran a test on a WP 4.3.1 Install thinking there might be some pixel width limit somewhere in the core. I uploaded a 5100px x 3400, 1.5 MB Image with no problem.

    The only other thing I can think of is basically the usual drill when having any kind of problem. Disable all plugins, try to upload the image using the default WP theme “Twenty Fifteen”.

    Sorry, I really can’t think of anything else.
    Good Luck!
