Title: Does not work…for some reason. Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Does not work…for some reason. * Resolved [jan_german54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan_german54/) * (@jan_german54) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/) * Hi, * since upgrading WP to 3.5, the plug-in does not work at all anymore. I am using the latest version (0.9). I have been testing it on newest releases of Firefox and Chrome, but 5 MB images take forever to upload, which means they are not resized before. * What can I do? * Loved your plug-in so for, please fix 🙂 * Thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/resize-images-before-upload/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/resize-images-before-upload/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 29 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [jan_german54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan_german54/) * (@jan_german54) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303825) * Well, I guess I found out what’s not working in 3.5: * When uploading images from Wp-Admin menu (“add files”), it works as usual. * However, if I am in a blog post for example and want to use the new media gallery uploader (introduced in 3.5), images are not resized before uploading. * Is there a way to fix that? * Thanks in advance! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask. * Plugin Author [WPsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsites/) * (@wpsites) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303906) * What browser are you using? Does it have Flash installed? * Thread Starter [jan_german54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan_german54/) * (@jan_german54) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303907) * Newest version of Firefox and Chrome with Flash installed – both don’t work. * Like I said, it’s only the new gallery feature that doesn’t work with your plugin. The regular upload feature works. * Thanks for looking into this! * Plugin Author [WPsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsites/) * (@wpsites) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303921) * I’ve just pushed a new version up to the WordPress repository that should hopefully solve your problems. Let me know if that’s not the case. * Thread Starter [jan_german54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan_german54/) * (@jan_german54) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303922) * Nope, sorry 🙁 Installed the new version but still doesn’t work with the new media uploader 🙁 * [momomojo54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/momomojo54/) * (@momomojo54) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303924) * It took me a while to find out, it only works with “drag and drop”. * Plugin Author [WPsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsites/) * (@wpsites) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303925) * Ahh ok. * Well if your browser is Firefox or Chrome then HTML5 will be used and there should be no problems. * If you use Safari then there is an issue with their implementation of HTML5 so the Flash runtime is used instead. Same for any non Chrome/Firefox browser, the Flash runtime will be used. * Problem with the Flash runtime is it doesn’t support drag and drop. So unfortunately you’ll need to choose which is most important, resize or drag and drop. * Sorry about this! It’s because of this that the resize functionality isn’t used by WordPress core. * If you take a look at the Plupload site [http://www.plupload.com/](http://www.plupload.com/) you’ll see what runtimes are capable of doing what. See not 3 for safari/opera resize issues. * Plugin Author [WPsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsites/) * (@wpsites) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303926) * Ahh “it only works with drag and drop”, I thought you said drag and drop doesn’t work. * I will do some further testing on drag and drop versus clicking the button. * [momomojo54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/momomojo54/) * (@momomojo54) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303927) * Cool, thanks! I am using WordPress 3.5 (latest version) and version 1.1 of your plugin. I use Chrome as a Browser. The only way your plugin takes effect is via drag and drop. When uploading in any other way the picture is still fully sized. * Please let me know, if you want me to test something. * [Handoko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handoko-zhang/) * (@handoko-zhang) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303931) * I tested my my WP 3.5 + Linux Opera 12.12, it seems not working. I clicked the image I want to upload, waited several minutes but nothing happened. If I disable this plugin, the default WP uploader works again. * Plugin Author [WPsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsites/) * (@wpsites) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303938) * Yes, looks like I’m going to have to take another good look at this… Give me back the old uploader… * Thread Starter [jan_german54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan_german54/) * (@jan_german54) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303954) * Could it be that 3.5.1 fixed the problems with “resize images before upload” too? * Seems like that for me the new media manager (e.g. when writing a new post and inserting images) resizes the images correctly now. * Can anyone confirm? * Plugin Author [WPsites](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsites/) * (@wpsites) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303955) * I REALLY hope it does because I’m at a loss as to what to do next to get this fixed. * In some situations it seems to work in the media uploader on the post/page editor, for me anyway, but then more times than not it doesn’t work. * I’ve even asked others for a little assistance with this one but no one has come back with anything. * Thread Starter [jan_german54](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan_german54/) * (@jan_german54) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303956) * Ok – I will let other users of my website (with other browsers etc.) try if it works and will report back 🙂 * Thanks to you for all the hard work you put into this very helpful plugin 🙂 * [cheche](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cheche/) * (@cheche) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-workfor-some-reason/#post-3303957) * It fails after the upgrade wordpress 3.5.
