Jetpack Photon breaks WP 4.4 responsive images

    Hi,

    As the title says, activating Photon made some of my images no longer load responsive.

    It works fine on my start page:
    http://www.tor-bjorn.com
    but on the pages for which I used the plugin “Advanced Custom Fields” to build
    http://www.tor-bjorn.com/works/massage+context
    it doesn’t seem to work. I don’t know if the problem is with ACF but the images loaded responsive before activating Photon so maybe not?

    Looking at the difference between the code on my start page and the one that’s not working there is a difference in the src-orig sting where the one working has a resize value and the one that’s not has a fit value.

    Hm, that’s very odd, since Jetpack’s Photon module was essentially doing responsive images before WordPress did.

    Is there any improvement if you disable the Photon module at Jetpack -> Settings in your site’s Dashboard?

    Yes it’s strange. When Photon is disabled the images again becomes responsive. (Although it seem to function quite sporadic when copying the image link, might be caching though? PageSpeed doesn’t seem to recognize it either).

    My thought is that it could have something to do with how ACF returns the image values. But this is really out of my league knowledge wise 🙂

    I went back to the RICG Responsive plugin for now which I think gives me an okay performance for my site. It would however be nice, not to depend on additional plugins..

    See if WordPress’s responsive images kick in with *all* plugins deactivate. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Sixteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue.

    Thanks for your response James!
    I will try that. My page does however rely heavily on the ACF plugin so if that’s what’s causing the issue (I think that’s likely) I really don’t have any other solution then finding another way to load these images responsive…

    I’ll get back if I make any progress!

    I totally understand, still would be handy to know what’s doing it though, then maybe ACF can fix it. 😉

    Absolutely 🙂
    I’ve posted in the ACF forum as well so hopefully we’ll find a solution. Thanks again!
