This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/ipublicis/wp-max-upload-limiter/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Limiting max size of images uploaded to Wordpress

Some customers don't like or remember to resize their images before uploading to #WordPress sites.

So we had to create a size limite enforcer plugin and afterwards use WPMuDev's Smush It to create palatable imagery.

Thanks to original code from Web Hosting Hero it was very fast to convert it to a standalone plugin and create a solution that works without messing our customers theme.

This was initially a Gist at https://gist.github.com/iPublicis/bc173884f27088c85b9ea3c619c7341f but after adding translations was moved to here.
