Patrick,
I see, that makes sense. I didn’t realize that 2 MiB was that common on static hosting providers. In our case, we run the pro version of the plugin, and the website is hosted out of Amazon S3.
Thank you also for the plugin update too. Based on your comments, does that mean it’s better (for large files at least) to skip uploading them to WordPress directly, and instead upload them directly to S3 (in our case) or some other place where the files can just be accessed directly?
I’m curious about the UX around this, and why people are obliged to make a theme change for something like this?
The 2 MiB limit seems paltry these days; I don’t know many websites that that are uploading photos (and let’s not get into video) that are less than that. Even a low-tier smartphone with a subpar camera will take a picture, and store it as a JPEG above 2 MiB.
Should this not be a setting on the main plugin itself?
