Each image you converted will have a Restore Original link next to it. Click that, and then reconvert the images. The JPG quality does NOT apply to normal optimization, only to the PNG2JPG function.
So i had selected the “don’t delete original images” and almost all of my files were png images. but I’m not seeing where the restore is. Also, a manual restore is not very useful for ~4000 images.
Nothing else you can do, sorry.
The original files are still there. I’ve deleted all files that ewww created and cleared the database table wp_ewwwio_images. but it’s somehow still got them marked. how do i clear them all?
“The JPG quality does NOT apply to normal optimization, only to the PNG2JPG function.”
This is exactly what I was doing. all my .pngs are intact. I just need to re-generate .jpgs with 95 quality instead of png.
but for some reason it’s claiming it is somehow optimizing .jpg’s that don’t even exist. see the below, the folder has not .jpgs in it, just .pngs. but EWWW say’s it’s optimizing .jpg’s

Yeah, you’ve pretty much crippled ewww by trying to revert it manually. Official attachment paths are stored in the attachment metadata, not the ewwwio_images table. The attachment metadata is set to the jpg paths, but those files don’t exist. It should be throwing file errors, so I’m not sure what to think there. At any rate, the restore original link is still the only way to properly fix those attachments. Unless… you’re comfortable writing a php function to go through all the metadata, unserialize the metadta, check if a .png exists, update the path in the metadata, serialize the metadata, and put it back in the database.
