 * Hi [@mikes-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikes-1/)!
 * I am sorry that the plugin is not working for you. To clarify the intent of the
   plugin, this plugin will not prevent that error from displaying.
 * That error is in place to make users aware that something on the server failed
   during the image upload process, which spans from the upload itself to WordPress
   creating all of the registered image sizes.
 * This plugin will only disables the feature added in WordPress 5.3 that generates
   an additional 2500px wide version of the original image that is used instead 
   of the true original image size. This helps save resources when generating smaller
   image sub sizes (this is easier to do with a 2500px image than a 6000px image),
   and helps with site performance by serving a smaller image to users.
 * If you still feel this plugin should be solving your issue, please feel free 
   to open up a new support topic with more information about your setup so that
   someone can help you debug.

 * Aren’t the thumbs generated from the original?
    But it definitely saves bandwidth!
