Hi @teigram
I have turned off all other plugins, the issue doesn’t change
I see you have JetPack active, can you confirm disabling this doesn’t change anything?
Yes, I turned jetpack off with all the other plugins.
Hi @teigram
Can you disable it now so I can check? This looks like an issue with JetPack. If so I can give you some code to fix it.
It appears to be working correctly now, right?
yes, it looks like it works.
Try adding this to functions.php and enable Jetpack. It should disable their image loading mechanism specifically for MetaSlider slides.
add_filter('jetpack_photon_skip_image', 'metaslider_remove_jetpack', 10, 2);
add_filter('jetpack_lazy_images_skip_image_with_attributes', 'metaslider_remove_jetpack', 10, 2);
function metaslider_remove_jetpack($val, $src) {
// The lazy load filter send the src as a param
$src = isset($src['src']) ? $src['src'] : $src;
// Get an array of slideshow images
$slide_image_names = array_map(function ($post) {
$image = wp_get_attachment_url(get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID));
// Extract the filename only from the slide image as WP will add sizes
return pathinfo(end(explode('/', $image)))['filename'];
}, get_posts(['post_type' => 'ml-slide', 'posts_per_page' => -1]));
// Filter through every slide image and see if Jetpack is trying to serve it
$skip = array_filter($slide_image_names, function ($slide_src) use ($src) {
return strpos($src, $slide_src) !== false;
});
return count($skip) ? true : $val;
}
Could you guide me where to place it in the functions file?
I place the code before the // END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
and got this error message. The code was pasted on line 24.
Your PHP code changes were rolled back due to an error on line 24 of file wp-content/themes/twentysixteen-child/functions.php. Please fix and try saving again.
syntax error, unexpected ‘&’
It needs to be within <?php and ?> tags but that file can be different depending on your theme. Maybe near the top?
It didn’t work near the top, I’m still getting the same message with the &. Here is the code in my functions file.
<?php
// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined( ‘ABSPATH’ ) ) exit;
// BEGIN ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
// AUTO GENERATED – Do not modify or remove comment markers above or below:
if ( !function_exists( ‘chld_thm_cfg_locale_css’ ) ):

$uri = get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/rtl.css’;
return $uri;
}
endif;
add_filter( ‘locale_stylesheet_uri’, ‘chld_thm_cfg_locale_css’ );

}

add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘chld_thm_cfg_parent_css’, 10 );
// END ENQUEUE PARENT ACTION
Is there a chance you have an old version of PHP?
The code I gave should be PHP 5.4.
I am not sure. Where do I find out which version I have? Do I check with my web hosting company?
I checked my web host — it is PHP 5.4
Hi @teigram
There might be a WP plugin you can install to check, otherwise if you have a cpanel login to your hosting there is usually an option there. I can convert the code to an older PHP version but if you are on PHP5.4+ already then it wouldn’t make a difference.
PHP 7.3 is the latest version by the way, but if you have any outdated plugins or themes, using this version could break something. Update with care.
Maybe you just need to make sure the code is copy/pasting without special characters. So paste the code, then manually delete and retype and quotes (‘).
