Hi, I’m trying to use this plugin on my site but it’s breaking somethings on the site. I contacted my theme developer about the problem and got the following response below. I would like to use this plugin and give it a good review. I’m using the following popular theme: http://themeforest.net/item/bridge-creative-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/7315054

Below is theme support response. Thanks

Hi,

this is a url that this plugin is generating:

http://emilytestsite.com/wp-content/plugins/bj-laz…

As you can see there is an error in plugin itself. This plugin uses TimThumb library which is known for security issues and it is forbidden to be used in themes that are sold on ThemeForest. Therefore we highly advise you not to use this plugin.

If you still decide to use this plugin you can revert to default theme and check if this plugin again to see if our theme is causing it to break, which is unlikely.

Hi

The full url wasn’t included, but I’m guessing that is to thumb.php. You have enabled the retina and/or responsive images, right?

TimThumb have been through two security issues. The first was from before I started using it, and then it had been rewritten from the ground up. I was actually a bit hesitant to include it, just because of the bad reputation it had. In my plugin’s source code is a couple of links to articles explaining why TimThumb is safe to use. Then there was a new issue not so long ago, but the functionality where that issue was was disabled by default and BJ Lazy Load was not affected by that.

BJ Lazy Load is safe to use.

That said, using libraries like TimThumb is not the best way to achieve things like this today. When WordPress 3.5 was released, it came with the programming tools that should have made TimThumb obsolete. I have simply not had the time to rewrite the plugin, but I’m hoping I will to that this fall.

If you can explain what is breaking, I will try to sort out the issues with you.

You have data-uris in your content, and we shouldn’t lazy load them.

Can you download the latest development version and see if that fixes your issue?

Thanks for the reply. The latest version didn’t fix the issue.

Any chance you can give me access so I can view the site, or alternatively could you provide me the generated HTML?

How would you like me to send private access to me site? It’s under construction and can’t be viewed by the public. I can send you access to the WP backend. Please get back to me. Thanks
