Hi Seila

The problem in your case is whith instagram, not the plugin.

I just sent you an email 😉

Roland will try to publish it tomorrow, but he is on vacations and will not be back before Jan 6, so he will do what he can from where he is and if possible.

Steffen,

The quote is en explnation found from an article “‘What this means is that if your photo or video is smaller than 320px, Instagram will enlarge it to a width of 320px. And if it’s wider than 1080px, Instagram will size it down to a width of 1080px.”

I did not says that version 1.4.6 resize the image !!!

In the plugin the error message is either

“Width too big for Instagram – must be less than 1080px”
“Height too big for Instagram – must be less than 1080px”
“Width too small for Instagram – must be higher than 320px”
“Height too small for Instagram – must be higher than 320px”

If you face one of this condition, your image is not sent to Instragram, this is what I explained ealier.

I understand your frustation and needs for a new version with modification to fit your requirements.

To answer to your question , yes it happens only via the plugin, and in fact as there was many people complaining, that their pictures were not uploaded to instagram or were refused by instagram, there was a necessity to have a better error management in the plugin.

This is why we now have a debug mode, some messages when pictures are too big or too small, and so on.

There is also a checking for error returned byt Instagram, and if possible there is a way to handle them ( Like “Login Required” or “checkpoint_required” )

So far there is a pending version 1.4.7 which will be published soon by Roland.

But the requirements that you ask is not developped yet.

I will start to work on it for a future version 1.4.8 and I understand that you want a downsized image rather than not image at all, and that you do not want to resize it yourself)

So I Will add a mode where you will be able to bypass control (Which can lead to a photo sent to Instagram, but that can be refused by Instagram), and also an option to still use control but resize if possible.

In the readme you have

= 1.4.6 =

Bug corrected :

* None

New features:

* Better handling of width and height limit of Instagram, either if your picture is too big ( above 1080px ) or too small ( below 320px )
* Resize a photo in panorama mode if ratio above 16:9, in this case is reduce the size of the picture, and add a white band above and below the picture
* New fields ( date of post to instagram, upload info, link to your instagram page, in the instagram info box on post page
* if debug mode activated, in the info box, you will have the full response of instagram, with the message why it was not accepted by instagram.

* Tested in WordPress 5.0.1

= 1.4.7 =

Bug corrected :

* Minor correction to the login process to Instagram

New features:

* None

* Tested in WordPress 5.0.2

Hi Steffen

Please read this article https://later.com/blog/instagram-image-size/

An exceprt regarding width and height : “In general, Instagram supports photos and videos that have a width between 320px and 1080px.

What this means is that if your photo or video is smaller than 320px, Instagram will enlarge it to a width of 320px. And if it’s wider than 1080px, Instagram will size it down to a width of 1080px.”

So to answer your question “Is there a possibility to downsize the image automatically?”
Yes it is technically possible, but with compression and a loss of quality on the image.

Version 1.4.6 and future 1.4.7 do not upscale small image or reduce size of big image automatically.

I will see with Roland ALLA the main maintener of the plugin if he wants a new feature to bring the choice to reduce automatically a big image or not.

Why not , but this will introduce a bad quality for the image you upload.

Hi Marinkom

The error that you have is related to Instagram security process, you faced an issue when login to instagram from two different IP adresses.
Please try the tips from this website to solve it : https://instazood.com/how-to-fix-checkpoint-required-error-on-instagram/

Hello Ruriko

The proxy support that you are looking does not make sense to be integrated into this plugin. In fact the functionality that your are looking for would also be useful for you for instance if you post to facebook or to twitter from wordpress.

You should have a look to proxy plugin for wordpress.
