I don't know why, I have a couple of users that are trying to upload avatars into the system that are larger than 2MB. I am wondering why they can't do this? My site is set to an 8MB maximum upload size; however, it seems that avatars don't follow this parameter. I have done searches and cannot find an answer for avatar file size.
Any clue on this? WPForo must be reading the limitation from somewhere, it gives the error as a pop-up on the top right (like a subscription of other notification from the forum).
Hi @colbytech,
Please let us know the server "post_max_size" value. You can find it in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Topics & Posts Tab.
Just wondering if there has been any resolution to this?
Hi @colbytech,
Sorry for the delay.
We'll add a new filter wpforo_avatar_upload_max_filesize in next version release. You'll be able to change the avatar upload size, and set it as you like. For now, wpForo doesn't allow to upload the images bigger than 2MB. Please wait for the next update.
Hi,
I'm new here but interested in the max. size avatar image upload matter. Some of my uers have had problems trying to upload their image. Has anything been done in the last 3 years ? I can't find anything on my back end panel...
Thank you,
B.
Yes, the hook had been added. You can use it and increase the max avatar size using the hook code below. Put it in the functions.php file of your current active WordPress theme or install the Code Snippets plugin and insert the code as a new code snippet. It'll increase the max avatar size to 5MB, you can change it in the code:
add_filter('wpforo_avatar_upload_max_filesize', function ($size){
return (5*1048576); //5MB
});
@robert It didn't work. The error is the attached screenshot.
The issue comes that You hadn't added the code properly, or made changes in the PHP file.
I have checked the hook, and it works correct, in the screenshot you provided is written syntax error, which means that there is a missing symbol, wrong symbol, wrong name etc. but not the hook which Robert has provided. The hook works correct.
@chris thank you..
By the way, where do the uploaded avatars go? I can't find it in attachments. In case I want to delete some avatars, I don't see a way to do that.
