Yesterday I wasn’t able to post my image due to a “not enough room” message. That happens when you have used all of your particular plans storage.
So I went to my media library and discovered 4 GB’s of storage was taken up by 513 copies of one image that I have no idea how they got there. It was a long deletion process, I went from 6.23GB’s down to 2.4GB’s on my 6 GB storage plan.
Before you upgrade for more space check your media library 😁

I make sure that my photos are smaller than the originals so they take up less space. I don’t know if you’re doing that or not.

Yes I do, my images are within the parameters, the image in question was uploaded into the media library successfully 512 times, just not by me😆. But that’s an excellent point Buddy size also effects your posts load time as you know.

A really great tool for optimising images and reducing their size, too, is tinyjpg.com.

No worries. It’s amazing how much it reduces the size by, without noticeably reducing the quality.

Absolutely, you can reduce size but enlarging gets trickier due to pixel density or pixels per inch.

Yeah at first it was taking 20 minuets to post one image and then it shut down. I was ready to just quit posting and use my instagram site which receives much more traffic, anywhere from 150-900 positive responses per post. But I really enjoy my interactions with my WordPress friends. 😎

My pleasure Rosaliene. In all fairness to WordPress they allowed 24% more storage than the plans allowance before shutting it off. It was just a technical glitch but if I’d been notified specifically what the issue was it would have saved me a lot of time.
