Image Resizing feature not working in my site

I have enabled image resizing option in Smush pro and set the max-width and max-height to 2048. This is not working, instead, full-size images are being uploaded to my media library. Please fix this for my site.

    Hello DYLAN

    I hope you’re well today!

    I tried to check the site but the support access that was enabled doesn’t seem to be active any more. Please note: it’s time valid so for security reasons it might get deactivated on its own; it can also “break” after e.g. full plugin conflict test.

    Could you please enable it again for me so I could take a closer look at the issue? To do so, please go to the “WPMU DEV -> Support -> Support Access” page in sites’ back-end and click on “Grant support access” button there, then let me know here once it’s done.

    Kind regards,
    Adam

      Hi, I am sorry, this message did not get delivered for some reason:

      Hi, Yes you are correct, I had to do a website restore.
      ​WPMUDEV Dash & Smush Pro have been installed again and I have granted you access to the website. I am still experiencing the same issue.
      ​All the best,
      ​Merry

    Hi Merry,

    I was doing some extensive tests and I was kinda able to replicate this issue on my end, but the results are really weird and I was unable to determine the cause of this.

    The tests I’ve done were performed on your site and two of my installations, one hosted with WP Engine and one on shared hosting, and the results are really weird.
    I uploaded couple of different images and these were the results:
    1. My custom image with a resolution of 6000×4000, resize worked fine on all 3 sites.
    2. My custom image with a resolution of 7360×4912, resize failed on your site and on mine hosted with WP Engine, it worked fine on the third site.
    3. Your the-mayflower-shop-chatham-spring2019 image, resize failed on your site and on mine hosted with WP Engine, it worked fine on the third site.
    4. Your the-mayflower-shop-chatham-spring2019 image resized to 6000×4000, resize failed only on your site but worked on both of my sites.
    5. Your the-mayflower-shop-chatham-spring2019 resized to 5999×3999, resize worked fine on all 3 sites.

    As you can see the results are quite inconsistent and it’s not clear at all what might be causing it, but it seems to me it’s something related to WP Engine server settings and image size.
    I have forwarded this issue to our developers to check it out further and see if they have any idea what might be going on here.

    Would it be possible to provide us with a staging site login details for both WP Admin and SFTP so our devs can dig deeper into this?

    Hello DYLAN ,

    I hope you are well today!

    Regarding your issue, It’s somehow related to WP Engine. We can’t replicate it anywhere else. I will discuss this with our dev about this. In that case, I have prepared a custom snippet which you can use as a guide here :
    https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/6744b45f2186f3608aa74a52bbbd3d59

    You can download a zip, unzip it and upload file smush-try-to-resize-image-on-wpengine.php to your wp-content/mu-plugins folder. If that folder doesn’t exist you can simply create it.

    Also, we have another issue, it seems your hosting limit on the large image of ImageMagick addon (an addon for Image Editor lib). Because when I tried to test with file resize_test.jpg that I attached here, I got an error like this:
    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/width-or-height-exceeds-limit/
    So you can contact your provider hosting for detail. Or I also prepared an MU plugin to help you custom the Image editor lib:
    https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/324d124f409222e465075b73071fb836
    After installing it, you can try to use default Image Editor lib of WP for resizing function by adding this config to your wp-config.php file:
    define('SMUSH_IMAGE_EDITOR_FOR_RESIZE', 'WP_Image_Editor_GD');

    If you are not familiar with mu-plugins you can read about them here:

    Tho Bui
