Pro Version would be amazing!!! Am about to get your Lightroom plugin 🙂
I had written in with a feature request a while ago…
Great plug-in… Really cool to help future proof your website as more of these high res displays come out.
Would it be possible to make a feature to sample the image to a 2K and 4K resolutions?
I assume the quality section is for the quality at which the Retina image is saved at…
Would it be possible to make a feature to down sample the quality of the low rez image too? For further optimization…
My thought is… Most DSLR camera’s take images at 5K or higher… So if you loaded 5K jpg into your media folder and then the plug in created a 4K, 2K, 1K retina image and also a 2k & 1K 72 DPI was created… Then the proper images was displayed based on the device (4k iPads probably not that far off) the user was on 🙂
Yea I know I am wishing for the best… Just thought I would throw it out there… Thanks again!
You responded…
Actually, 4K resolution is “normal resolution”. It is just a term for very high resolution screens and TVs but one pixel in that case is still one pixel. Retina is the fact that 4 pixels are “in one”.
Of course now we could have 4K screens with Retina… So don’t worry, the plugin would work perfectly in those cases too 🙂 But yeah, we would need huge images! Even the Nikon D800 resolution is not enough (but almost!) to fill perfectly all the pixels available on a Retina 4K ^^’
I miss spoke a little 🙂
I mean 4K raster size… In normal video resolutions we have 72 DPI or 72 pixels per inch and most screens except computer screens work at that res… But with retina or other high density pixel displaces that DPI has been increased even thought the physical size of the unit is the same… Which is why they had to figure out how to nest the pixels on top of each other… But I am sure everyone already knew this 🙂
The easiest way I have come to think about it is its the same as printing a photograph…
So if you resample the photography for the size of the object your printing on you will need to increase your decrease you DPI to make it fit… This is sort of the same thing we are doing with retina being blown up twice the size of the original image and then squeezed back down the the constraints of the web page… This is only increasing the inherent DPI so you don’t see the stepping…
Unless i am totally of my rocker and way wrong 🙂
My thought is to print or export pics 2048×1080 or 3840×2160 at 240 DPI… Its data so it should not matter what you set for these numbers until they put on a display… So say the iPad or Android is really only 180DPI then the raster size will be increased but then shrunk back down with the constraints of the web page… Which will jump the DPI back up but that will have to be thrown out cause the max that can be displayed is 180 (theoretically in this example)…
So after all that here are my requests haha…
My thought for a feature for the pro versions would be to be able to uploaded the largest raster size and highest DPI at the most compressed you can create… I would want to do this all in photoshop… Then the plugin will make the smaller version and then server up the correct res for the screen you are on… This way the plugin is only downsampling… Not that your code is not great but I think photoshop might have better up-res options 🙂
Another cool thought would be to integrate it with the light room plugin… So you can manage all the your retina images from there and even make your own down sampled ones…
That also would be cool if I could upload all the different sizes of the images… So i can be a nut with compression and making it perfect then i Just upload it to the plugin and say this is the 2x versions and this is the thumb version… and so on…
Maybe another cool feature would be to server the images over a CDN… Like a check box and you enter your account for that CDN or something…
I think having more granular control and something to increase speed with a pro support forum in the pro version would make it really worth the purchase…

In reply to: SSL and multi-site and re-directs without pluginHey Mika 🙂
I think i am on to something with the problem for HTTPS… I am still have some trouble grasping exactly cookies and WP and SSL works but I think the problem is in there somewhere… Maybe I am wrong…
I have 6 sites set up… 4 or sub sites with the URL being site.mainsite.com and two have been re-named using WP-CLI and have SSL active… So the other two are site1.com and site2.com
I logged in to the main site… Then went to site1.com through the my sites drop down… Was asked to log in again… Then went to site2.com through the my sites drop down… Was asked to login again…
Once I have logged in 3 times… I have unrestricted access to the whole MU install through the my sites drop down…
Oh snap… I just remembered you had to define cookies in you tutorial… Maybe I missed that step…
Thanks for any help!!!

In reply to: SSL and multi-site and re-directs without pluginSorry but I think you answered your own questions with plugins… Yes updating is a pain and even if its only one page or 5 pages is sort of irrelevant.. Its and extra step for every aspect… This one is also very small, only 8 lines of code… You could probably just get rid of the plugin all together and just put this in your wp.config file… But i don’t know and would not advice it with out proper testing…
There is not problem with plugins or having a lot of them… But if you can get rid of some why not?
Getting it right in the server block and updating the WP core to HTTPS is the way to go for SEO and other reasons…. Once its set up you never need to change it, update it or worry about it… Every page that is generated (not redirected) will always be HTTPS no matter what and any connections coming through port 80 with no header can be dropped and legitimate traffic re-directed to the SSL port… You can also specify what SSL protocols are used at this level… For instance SSL v2 and SSL v3 are weak and should not be used according to certificate authorities… So i drop them…

In reply to: SSL and multi-site and re-directs without pluginSorry trying to avoid plugins for SSL and Domain mapping 🙂
So no I do not have them installed…
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: SSL and multi-site and re-directs without pluginhmmm i was thinking that might be the problem 🙁
It probably has to do with the way wordpress makes calls to the server and then has to switch the server name and it does not like doing that…
Yes all sites are Https
I have a wild card SSL set up for my main domain and sub domains… Works perfectly…
I was ready to go live with one site… So i change all the URLs with WP-cli… Made a new server block and set up the SSL for that…
Its not the biggest issue in the world as it works fine with sub domains… And once I go live with a site I will just have to login through it I guess..
Maybe an update will fix this in a later WP release?
Thanks Mika!!!

In reply to: Advice on getting set up for a future domain/subdomains (DNS)Yes you need to have wild card set up with your host before you start the install… But you might be over complicating it a bit… Unless you really want sub-domains… But those are more for social sites or sites with users that create there own branded thing…
You could just do subfolders and achieve the same result… Then it would just be my company.com/community which is much more inline with current web practice… Not that it matters tho… But subfolders are easier to set up then subdomains…
If I were you I would just set up the wordpress site with the correct names for everything but make a bookmark using just the IP… Then when you are ready to take down the drouple you can just point to the new IP and your good to go and all the naming conventions will work without having to modify the DB…

In reply to: WordPress Multisite Multidomain….does it work anymore?That online tool looks very cool… I am using this tool but it costs – http://www.araelium.com/querious
It is very very powerful… And i think does the serialization… But yea thats why i said not try it from command line… But the WP CLI should be fine like Mika says… I just have never used it so I am a bit wary of diving in but I really should…
Is it just the guid table that you want to fix?
or does the CLI take care of everything?
So I would just run – wp search-replace ‘http://example.dev’ ‘http://example.com’ –dry-run
And that should give me a read out of what it will change and if I like it I just drop the dry-run?
Thanks so much for everyones help!!!

In reply to: [Safe Redirect Manager] Can I redirect http to https?not sure but I think you can do it in your wp-config.php
define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true);
this will make the Admin always be HTTPS
I am sure there is something similar for all pages
Forum: Networking WordPress
In reply to: WordPress Multisite Multidomain….does it work anymore?Maybe if we are very lucky Mika will weigh in on exactly what tables you want to change… However I think its just posts table with the guid column… And any other info that would be helpful 🙂

In reply to: WordPress Multisite Multidomain….does it work anymore?Yea I am moving from sub-domain to straight domains…
Its a bit complicated however… You go into your network admin for the site and chose edit… There you can change the base URL for the site… But if you just change it there then you will loose most the connections to your database… You have to go into your database and do a find and replace of all the old URL taxonomies and update them to the new URL… This is much easier said then done and I am still working on a secure safe way of doing it…
Do not try to do this command line… You need a script or program to do checking to make sure you changing the correct data…

In reply to: Not all plugins in plugins menu for multisiteok I am an idiot…
If anyone else makes this mistake… Network enable makes them used network wide… makes sense… you do not network enable and then enable the plugins on the sites… if it is network enabled it is network wide…
to do individual sites… you do not network enable and just enable on those sites
