A Cheat Code is essentially a short code that is replaced with a value

for example. if we upload an image called “wordpress.jpg” and use the following in the title preset

Image {file.name}

It will be changed to

Image wordpress

{file.name} – returns the file name
{file.mime} – returns the file mime type. for example image/jpeg
{file.size} – returns the file size
{file.width} – returns the file image width
{file.height} – returns the file image width
{file.id} – returns the file id
{preset.description} – returns the description from the item

Cheat Code Filters

Filters are to be used on cheat codes following the format

{cheatcode|filtercode}

For example

{preset.description|excerpt}

Available Filters

IMPORTANT NOTES

Your Wordpress website runs on PHP. And has a default memory limit of 128mb (if your on a managed hosted platform. then you can ask the provider to set this for you). This will be fine for most cases. However if your image resolution is big the memory limit has to be raised or they will fail to process.

the math to work out the amount memory the image will need in order to be processed is

(( width * height ) * 4)/1000000 = X mb

for example

((8334 * 8334) * 4)/1000000 = 277.822224mb

this value will need to be slightly higher again as the plugin and wordpress requires memory too.

Also note that the bigger the image the longer the wait after upload. The plugin manipulates these images and watermarks them.
