    Hello my wp_ewwwio_images table is 37 MB
    I see it contains info about how much was every image compressed, i’m not really interested on these stats. Id like to reduce my database size as much as possible, isn’t there a way to get rid of these and still use the plugin?

    As long as you don’t care about the plugin re-optimizing any images (for example, if you are using Scheduled Optimization), you can run a TRUNCATE on the table with no ill effects.

    Ok so i can safely empty it. I’m not using schedule.
    Let me sneak a quick question here: if i use “force regenerate thumbnails” plugin will the images be optimized already or would i need to run the bulk optimizer afterwards?

    I noticed, that the plugin doesn’t convert png to jpg, i have that option enabled, not on upload nor on bulk mode. Maybe something wrong on my server?

    The answer to your first question is: probably. I haven’t tested it in a while, but last I checked, running force regenerate thumbs with EWWW active causes all the images to be regenerated and re-optimized.

    The PNG 2 JPG question is usually an issue of transparency. Some editors will insert an empty alpha (transparent) layer, which prevents EWWW from converting the images unless you set a background color. You can just set it to #ffffff and see if that fixes the issue.

    Yes it must be it. I figured those PNG must have transparency even though they don’t seem to be using it, that’s why the plugin is not converting some PNG but some others are getting converted.
    I let them be cos, if i set it to white then some legitimate transparent images will be white and that will look bad. Thanks for everything.
