Php versions – How to override "Suggested maximum size is 2500 pixels" on media upload page – wordpress

My client needs to upload high-res images for her online press kit.

She is getting this error: "Post-processing of the image failed likely because the server is busy or does not have enough resources. Uploading a smaller image may help. Suggested maximum size is 2500 pixels."

The images she wants to upload are about 2.5MB in size, and are 4272 x 2848 with 72dpi.

If I crop the images, to be 2500×1667 at 72dpi, they upload fine (meeting the 2500 pixel suggested max size.)

Is there a way to allow the larger pixel images as indicated above (4272 x 2848)?

I am not sure which php setting is the issue – I think it might be memory size, but if it is, I am not sure where to change it or what amount to set it to, to allow twice the pixel max size allowance (going from 2500 to say 5000 pixels)… or if that is even allowed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here are my system details:

  • WordPress Version: 5.5.1
  • MySQL Version: 5.6.41
  • BootStrap Version: 3.3.1
  • PHP version 7.3.22 (Supports 64bit values)
  • PHP max input variables 1000
  • PHP time limit 30
  • PHP memory limit 256M
  • Max input time 60
  • Upload max filesize 256M
  • PHP post max size 260M

Thanks!

    You can use the big_image_size_threshold filter to change or disable this behavior.

    https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/big_image_size_threshold/

    If the original image width or height is above the threshold, it will be scaled down. The threshold is used as max width and max height. The scaled down image will be used as the largest available size, including the _wp_attached_file post meta value.

    Returning false from the filter callback will disable the scaling.

    I ran into this problem. Disabling big_image_size_threshold didn’t fix it. I think my issue is that after upgrading to PHP 7.4, the version of ImageMagick running on my host for PHP 7.4 is bad or something. I fixed the issue by using GD instead of ImageMagick. Just add this to functions.php:

    add_filter('wp_image_editors', function($editors) {
    return ['WP_Image_Editor_GD', 'WP_Image_Editor_Imagick'];
});

    One thing to note: If you don’t have GD installed, WP will default back to using Imagick. So there’s little risk in making this change. Though if it doesn’t resolve the problem, you might want to check that GD is actually installed.

    This verified answer didn’t work for me

    The apache2 errors should be always in your

    /var/log/apache2/error.log

    So, you can identify the problem easily.

    I fixed it by myself:

    sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo service apache2 restart

    See this post there are many solutions for this: Link

    I encountered this same issue and struggled with it for nearly a whole day – trying answers from this page and from this WordPress topic also: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-processing-of-the-image-failed-error/

    Eventually, what resolved the problem for me was that I went to the WordPress Updates page and simply Re-installed WordPress – everything has been perfectly fine since.

    I am running a network on WP version 5.7 with php 7.3
