Hi @mlooijengoed,
Sorry you’ve had some trouble with that, let’s see how we can sort it!
Could you please go to Settings > Media, then ticking the Enable debug processing option?
Then try the smush operation again and let us know any messages that are displayed?
Thanks,
David
Hi. I am having the same problem. I was trying to use Smushit.com and it was really, really slow, so I installed the plug-in. I checked the Enable debug processing option. Then I tried to smush a very small image. I got an error that says ERROR: posting it to Smush.it.
Is the Smush.it site down maybe?
Bonjour. J’ai les mêmes problèmes…
Smush.it ne fonctionne plus sur mon blog.
Je l’ai désinstallé et réinstallé mais rien à faire, il ne fonctionne pas…
Merci d’avance,
Anne
Hi @david…
Thanks for your quick answer! I’ve enabled the debug processing option but i don’t get any messages. Or do i have to download/use another plugin/toolbar to get these messages?
I’ve tried to smush some pics also manually and about 30% is working. The other 70% is not and i get the white screen again with an URL like this:

I’ve already set the “How many seconds should we wait for a response from Smush.it?” on 120 seconds.
Already thanks for your support!
Hi there
Just to add to this, I am experiencing exactly the same problems as @mlooijengoed.
Bulk Smush.it resulted in “Did not Smush.it due to previous errors” after one of the images exceeded the max size.
When i try to re-smush (after fixing size) the bulk feature doesn’t work at all and then when i do it individually i have about a 20 – 30% success rate. I usually end up with a timed out screen and when I head back to media library it shows “ERROR: posting to Smush.it”.
I have increased the Smush.it response time in Settings to 300 but no joy. I also enabled debug processing but no error messages other than “ERROR: posting to Smush.it”
Thanks

Hi everyone,
Thanks for reporting all this. Unfortunately, it seems Yahoo’s smush.it service is having some trouble this week, as reported here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-36
I believe that’s the issue you’re seeing, sorry for any trouble there, the plugin does depend on that service.
There’s a workaround to help avoid issues while uploading currently. Hopefully, the service issues are sorted soon. 🙂
Cheers,
David
What we really need is for Google to take this over from Yahoo! ! 😀
Yes, Google taking it over would be far better than Yahoo which is mostly unreliable these days.
What we need is for the plugin to gracefully default to a straight image upload when connection to smush it times out. It’s pretty ridiculous that it doesn’t.
fwiw, I have just successfully SMUSHED all my 400 images over this past 2 hours, so either now is a good (quiet) time to do it, or Yahoo! have fixed the problem.
So I’d say the time I was using it successfully was approx :
02:30 – 04:30am, Thursday, May 8, 2014 (EDT) (Time in Washington, DC, USA)
Hi @photomaldives, thanks for that! Seems maybe that’s just a really good time period to try the operation. Hopefully others find that useful.
@pixeldynamo, thanks for your suggestion, I’ll mention that to the developers as well.
For the moment, you can set a lower timeout at Media > Settings and/or turn off auto-processing. Either of those can help at least avoid further trouble for the moment.
Cheers!
