20266 releases

  1. Big File Uploads 2.2.2Latest

    • New: Email summary of your uploads. Big File Uploads can email the site admin a summary of the last month, week, or day: files uploaded and storage added compared with the previous period, a breakdown by file type, the largest upload, and the totals from your last storage scan. Nothing is sent for…
    • New: Email Summary setting under Settings -> Big File Uploads to choose Monthly (default), Weekly, Daily, or Off, showing the recipient and when the next summary will be sent.
    • New: bfu_email_digest_recipients filter for developers to change who receives the summary.
    • Translation updates.

  2. Big File Uploads 2.2.1

    • New: Running a free scan now starts with three quick questions (what best describes you, and whether you use a media folders or image optimization plugin) so we can tailor the tips we send.
    • Translation updates.

  3. Big File Uploads 2.2.0

    • New: Set a separate maximum upload size per file type – images, audio, video, documents, archives, and code – for all users or for each role. Leave a field blank to use the main limit.
    • New: bfu_upload_limit filter for developers to adjust the resolved limit per file.
    • New: Queueing a video in the media uploader now shows a short note that video is better streamed from Infinite Uploads Video Hosting than stored in WordPress. Hidden when Infinite Uploads is active, and switchable with the bfu_promote_video_hosting filter.
    • New: Redesigned settings screen with a step-by-step guide and per-role sections.
    • Fix: The upload size limit is now enforced on the very first chunk, so a single-chunk upload can no longer exceed it.
    • Fix: Review notice strings are now translatable; removed a stale duplicate translation template.
    • Update: The size field now labels the hosting limit as “Host limit” so a saved value is not mistaken for a reverted one.
    • Update: Refreshed the Infinite Uploads recommendation copy.
    • Translation updates.
