Step 1: Download and Installation
Start your journey by downloading the Resize Control plugin. Whether from the TuningWP website or the WordPress store, once downloaded, head over to your website’s plugin section, upload the Resize Control plugin, wait for it to complete, and hit ‘Activate’.
Step 2: Exploring the Dashboard
Upon activation, a new item – ‘Resize Control’ – appears in your dashboard sidebar. Clicking on this reveals the main options. Ensure the ‘Enable Resize’ option is turned on and fine-tune the settings to exclude certain user roles from automatic resizing.
Step 3: Customizing Per Post Type
In the ‘Per Post Type’ menu, select ‘Default’. This option applies settings across all media uploads. Enable ‘Resize Dimensions’, set maximum height and width, consider converting PNG files to JPG, and choose the appropriate compression level.
Step 4: Testing the image resizing setup
Test the plugin by uploading an image in the WordPress media section. Notice the differences post-upload: reduced dimensions, smaller file size, and a changed file type, showcasing the plugin’s efficiency.
