Just took a look at WPML, and I would suspect you need to use the Resize Other Images option, did you try that?
ok, I contacted the folks at WPML to see if they can be of any assistance, they seem pretty open to working with other developers and fixing compatibility issues.
ok thx i wait
if no solution I am forced to remove one plugin 🙁
Ok, they setup a test site for me, going to see if I can figure anything out today.
I think this is what is happening:
When you upload an image, WPML Media parses the metadata, and instead of just returning the usual metadata to the apply_filters command from which it was called, it also updates the metadata in the database.
EWWW then runs a few milliseconds later, and it checks to see if metadata exists in the database to determine if the image is a new upload, or an existing one being run through the bulk optimizer. If EWWW thinks it is NOT a new image, and you don’t have the “Resize existing images” option checked, then it skips the resize routine.
I’ve got an idea on a fix, going to see if it works.
In the meantime, you can just turn on “resize existing images” and it should work.
Ok, fix will be in 2.9, working out a bug with tracking the correct savings for resized images, and then I’m pretty much ready for release.
