As a caveat, doing what I said also allows you to run ImageOptim over the images as well which will gain extra compression with no loss in quality. Check it out here: https://imageoptim.com/
I’m afraid for this plugin’s simplicity, it only works on newly uploaded images as you’ve realised. Probably the best (and safest) way to batch resize your already-uploaded images is to download them via FTP, resize them using an offline app, then put them back in place with the same file names. I personally use Photoshop for this, but something like this could work:

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] Backup original photosI’m afraid not; that would defeat the main purpose of this plugin to prevent large files remaining on the server.
What you’re looking for is add_image_size() WordPress plugin which can resize image but retain the original.

In reply to: [Mailgun for WordPress] Array to string conversion error with v1.4FYI, just raised the bug on Github

In reply to: [Mailgun for WordPress] Array to string conversion error with v1.4Mailgun, please sort this out. All you need to do is check for an array before setting the value. This is filling up our log files and so making them incredibly useless.
Thanks

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] Photo sellingCheck out the add_image_size() function which does exactly what you want. This plugin isn’t really for you if you don’t want to alter the original as that’s the only purpose of this plugin really.
Thanks

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] Thumbnail quality suggestionHi,
Thanks for the suggestion – I think it’s actually a really good one for this plugin and I may add it as an option in the next release. In an ideal world, you would be able to set image quality when using the add_image_size() function to define your thumbnails, but for some reason, WordPress chose not to enable this. This is especially weird when one of the great ways to produce images for retina display is to size them at twice what you want with the compression level set really low (high?), i.e. around 40. The output image when viewed at standard resolution is pretty crummy, but when resized in HTML to half the height/width, it actually looks pretty fine as the downsampling hides the jpeg artifacts. And you then end up with a retina image, with a low filesize.
Anyway I digress. A quick Googling on the matter brought up this:
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/128623/how-to-set-the-jpg-image-compression-for-specific-thumbnail-sizes…which I believe is how you would do it in the functions.php file of your theme. However that seems very convoluted for the average Joe to use, so yes, I will plan to integrate this into the plugin as an extra option soon.
Many thanks

In reply to: [Event Tracking for Gravity Forms] No setting screenI figured out the issue and did reply, but WordPress didn’t post the message.
It was basically because the “Members” plugin I use hadn’t assigned the new user permission you created to my admin user account. I’m not sure whether it’s the ‘Members’ plugin not auto-providing the permissions to the admin user when your plugin creates them, or whether it’s vice versa. Anyway, you may want to look into it and maybe add it to your FAQ or Installation Instructions that – “Our plugin assigns a new permission level and so if you have any User/Permission/Role-management plugins installed, then you may need to assign the permissions to the user”.

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] Target posts/pages only?In this instance then, you’d set RIAU to be the largest size required on the site (i.e. 1920), then use add_image_size() to downsize it for your posts. The reason for this is that should you ever want to change the size of images in your posts, you would still have the large copy of the image available to generate new smaller sizes from.
Granted the idea of this plugin is to prevent stupidly large images being placed on your server, however this really means to store an image of the absolute maximum size for your site (in this case 1920), then use the standard WP image size functions to place approriately sized images in your themes. It still prevents uploading of super massive images, such as 10MP or 14MP ones which are the norm on phones these days.

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] Target posts/pages only?Hi,
What you’re looking for is the add_image_size() WordPress function. Use this to size images up for specific parts of your theme.
Our plugin on the otherhand should be used as a blanket way to set an absolute maximum size of image to store on your server. E.g. use our plugin to ensure that no uploads are greater than 1600×1600, then use add_image_size() to create images for posts (i.e. at 1200) and sliders (i.e. at 1600).
Hope that helps,

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] No resize has been foundHi,
Sorry to hear you’re having trouble.
Did you upload the image using the normal media uploader? Or was it using the app or a third party system?

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] Resize image after publishingOne thing you could do it log into your site via FTP, download all your images locally. Then use something like Photoshop to batch process them to a lower compression level. Then just simply re-upload them with the same filenames.
Again, be sure to take backups 🙂

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] how can I convert uploaded png's to jpg?Hi,
I’m afraid that isn’t a feature of the plugin yet. Those hidden values have been put in there as placeholders, but do not function in any way (otherwise we wouldn’t have hidden it). It’ll may be coming in a future release but I’m afraid isn’t there right now.
Kind regards

In reply to: [Resize Image After Upload] Not working with Frontend Upload :(Hi,
I’m afraid due to the mechanisms WordPress uses to upload images in the backend, this is the only place our plugin will work. I’ll try and look into making it work from the frontend, but that plugin is probably using unique upload tools which bypass WordPress’ upload functions.
Kind regards
Phil
