[Plugin: Events Manager] "The image file is too big" when adding an event image

    Is there any way to increase the file size and/or image dimensions limit for Events Manager.

    I first tried to add an image that was around 1000px x 1000px in size and file size of around 3MB. Events Manager threw a “The image file is too big” error and said that the dimensions have to be at most 700 x 700 and file size less than 2MB. I resized the image to 700 x 700 and the file size to 500KB. I still get the same error – this time complaining about just the file size.

    Is there any way to raise these limits? It makes creating new events very cumbersome if I have to resize the image for every event I create.

    Thanks,
    MediocreFred.

    Duh… it was hiding in plain sight! Thanks Marcus.

    By the way, I have been getting more and more comfortable with the Events Manager Plugin. I have about 10 custom attributes and use place holders and filters to format the events list and single event pages as needed.

    I must say that I am very impressed with the amount of functionality that is included in this plugin. There are also ample hooks to allow for a ton of customization. Very well thought out!

    I’ve been reading bits about the next major version of Events Manager. Hope it doesn’t break any of my customizations (made exclusively using the Settings page and my own custom plugin that uses EM’s filters for formatting).

    Thanks,
    MediocreFred.

    One suggestion – if you can find a way to either have separate tabs for the various sections (General, Events, Locations, Categories, Bookings, etc.) on the Settings page or have an accordion design (expanding/collapsing sections), it would make the Settings page much easier to use.

    Thanks,
