Title: [Plugin: Comment Images] Size limit Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Comment Images] Size limit * Resolved [junger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/junger/) * (@junger) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/) * Great plugin! Is there a way to set a limit on the size of the images uploaded? * The limit would be either dimensions or file size. * Thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comment-images/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/comment-images/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Tom McFarlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommcfarlin/) * (@tommcfarlin) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2972830) * Thanks! * Currently there is no way to set a limit on the size of the images being uploaded. I’ll make a note of this and see about adding something like this in a future version. * [mcmillad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcmillad/) * (@mcmillad) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2972945) * I was having this problem also and changing the css for the plugin didn’t work( noticed it was inactive after messing with it). I simply went in to my themes css and inserted the following code and it works great. * /****************************************** Comment Image Picture Control ******************************************/. comment-image img { max-width: 400px; } * Of course just set the max-width to whatever looks good on your site. I hope this helps. * [Tom McFarlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommcfarlin/) * (@tommcfarlin) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2972946) * Thanks for sharing this. In the next version of the plugin, I plan to have this resolved. * [Li-An](https://wordpress.org/support/users/li-an/) * (@li-an) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2972964) * Very nice idea. But the best feature should be a resize of the uploaded image so the page will not be too heavy to load. * [Tom McFarlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommcfarlin/) * (@tommcfarlin) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2972965) * Noted – will see what I can do in a future version! * Thanks for the suggestion! * [nootkan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nootkan/) * (@nootkan) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973000) * Awesome, thanks for this short term fix. Looking forward to the updated version of a great plugin. * [breadtopia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/breadtopia/) * (@breadtopia) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973001) * Would also just like to second (or third or whatever) the motion to be able to auto downsize images so they fit the area. Would gladly purchase a reliable supported comment image upload plugin. * Another awesome feature would be a lightbox type thing so double clicking a thumbnail image would expand it in pop up window. * [Tom McFarlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommcfarlin/) * (@tommcfarlin) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973002) * Breadtopia, * I hear you loud and clear! * I always appreciate the feedback and I’m aiming to have these features baked in as soon as I can get some time. * Also, I appreciate the thought on paying for a premium version of the plugin. That’s something I’ll definitely consider. * Love all the feedback – keep it coming! * [breadtopia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/breadtopia/) * (@breadtopia) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973003) * Sounds good. Just having a receptive developer is a bonus! * I’ve been through a few comment image plugins that either aren’t quite good enough and/or no longer supported. Such a plugin is invaluable for our site so I’m surprised there there doesn’t seem to be more demand for it. * Since the beginning I’ve had to use a programmer to add code or whatever to get them to do what I want. Having just discovered yours, they are working on it as I type. Hopefully they’ll also get it to pull in all the previously uploaded images from the now defunct plugin I was using. * [Tom McFarlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommcfarlin/) * (@tommcfarlin) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973004) * Completely understand. * I’d love for this to be the de-facto Comment Images plugin, but I’ve just gotta find the time to work in these feature requests. * Believe me: I’m just as impatient as you guys when it comes to want it done ;). Just have a backlog of some other stuff for the time being. * [gnickoloff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gnickoloff/) * (@gnickoloff) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973012) * Just thought I’d “bump” this thread… I could use the image re-sample function. Thanks for great work! * [Tom McFarlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommcfarlin/) * (@tommcfarlin) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973013) * Thanks gnickoloff! * This hasn’t been forgotten – just haven’t had a chance to work on the plugin lately. * For those that are curious, this is likely how the plugin will work: - On each post’s page, you’ll set a maximum size for the image (in MB) - The comment form will display a note, if there is a limit - If the image uploaded is greater than the size specified, then the user will be given a warning and the image will fail to load * Hope this clarifies where things are heading (at least in the future :). * [ianarmstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ianarmstrong/) * (@ianarmstrong) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973016) * Haven’t had time in ten months? You’ve got a very popular plugin man, at least stick it on Git and request a fork. * [Tom McFarlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tommcfarlin/) * (@tommcfarlin) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973017) * [@ianarmstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ianarmstrong/) * The plugin hasn’t [_not_](http://wordpress.org/plugins/comment-images/changelog/) been updated; however, this is one feature I just haven’t gotten to implementing yet. * [ianarmstrong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ianarmstrong/) * (@ianarmstrong) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/#post-2973018) * Good to know. I can get it to die if I do a file check but it does an ugly die and then posts the comments with the image stripped anyway. It’s sub-optimal. I can remove the else and it posts the comment but silently strips the image. * ``` // If the nonce is valid and the user uploaded an image that is less than 150kb, let's upload it to the server if( isset( $_FILES[ $comment_image_id ] ) && ! empty( $_FILES[ $comment_image_id ] ) ) { if ( $_FILES[ $comment_image_id ]['size'] < 153600 ) { // Store the parts of the file name into an array $file_name_parts = explode( '.', $_FILES[ $comment_image_id ]['name'] ); // If the file is valid, upload the image, and store the path in the comment meta if( $this->is_valid_file_type( $file_name_parts[ count( $file_name_parts ) - 1 ] ) ) {; // Upload the comment image to the uploads directory $comment_image_file = wp_upload_bits( $_FILES[ $comment_image_id ]['name'], null, file_get_contents( $_FILES[ $comment_image_id ]['tmp_name'] ) ); // Now, we need to actually create a post so that this shows up in the media uploader $img_url = media_sideload_image( $comment_image_file['url'], $post_id ); // And strip out the name of the image file so we can save this to the meta data // Regex is usually bad for this, but WordPress is predictable in the format preg_match_all( "#[^]#", $img_url, $matches ); $comment_image_file['url'] = $matches[0][0]; // Set post meta about this image. Need the comment ID and need the path. if( false == $comment_image_file['error'] ) { // Since we've already added the key for this, we'll just update it with the file. add_comment_meta( $comment_id, 'comment_image', $comment_image_file ); } // end if/else } // end if } else { die; } } ``` Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘[Plugin: Comment Images] Size limit’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/comment-images_eaeaea.svg) * [Comment Images](https://wordpress.org/plugins/comment-images/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/comment-images/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/comment-images/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/comment-images/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/comment-images/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/comment-images/reviews/) * 21 replies * 9 participants * Last reply from: [roland_susan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roland_susan/) * Last activity: [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-comment-images-size-limit/page/2/#post-2973024) * Status: resolved
