 * Hello. I updated wordpress yesterday. When I turn on your plugin (latest version),
   this error occurs, which makes it impossible to upload files to the site (server):
 * The server cannot process the image. This can happen if the server is busy or
   does not have enough resources to complete the task. Uploading a smaller image
   may help. Suggested maximum size is 2560 pixels.

    Your plugin is great, I’ve been using it for a long time. I hope you fix the
   problem.

 * Hi [@alexmcmeekin2017](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexmcmeekin2017/),
 * This isn’t being caused by the plugin but by WordPress itself: by default, unless
   you tell it otherwise, and since version 5.3 WordPress will not allow uploads
   larger than 2560 pixels.
 * See [Introducing handling of big images in WordPress 5.3](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/10/09/introducing-handling-of-big-images-in-wordpress-5-3/)
