In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] Feature Request: Add Custom DirectoriesThanks for the reply. I’d be more than happy to beta test whatever enhancements you develop in this regard. Please let me know, in the interim, if you have any further insights on how to resolve this issue.
I have a curating plugin that posts content periodically to my website. This saves jpeg images for each post within the main uploads directory (viewable within the Media Library). I also have a MetaSlider Pro plugin that creates resized images “on the fly” based on these images in the same main uploads directory (not viewable within the Media Library).
I need the WPsmush,it plugin to auto optimize both the originally posted jpegs (which are added to the Media Library upon post creation) and the slider resized jpegs (which are NOT added to the Media Library but created in the main uploads directory).
This is primarily because the resized images utilized in the MetaSlider Pro plugin need to also be compressed and converted to progressive jpegs.
Please let me know how best to handle. Thanks.

In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] Feature Request: Add Custom DirectoriesThe MetaSlider Pro team provided the following information. Perhaps it could be utilized within the EWWW plugin.
The EWWW plugin seems to suggest it is integrated with the WP_Image_Editor. Could you try installing it and then uploading a new image to Meta Slider (while it is installed)? It should pick up any new images that are created by Meta Slider.
Meta Slider creates images ‘on the fly’ and it doesn’t register those sizes with WordPress (if it did, then you could end up with hundreds of image sizes, and WordPress would be creating thumbnails for each size every time you uploaded a new media file). However, if you’re sticking with an image size of 300×138 for your slideshow, you should be able to get EWWW to optimize your images by adding this line to your functions.php file:
add_image_size( ‘metaslider-homepage-thumb’, 300, 138, true );
Therefore, I tried to add it tot the functions.php file but it doesn’t seem to work.
Please advise. Thanks again.

In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] Feature Request: Add Custom DirectoriesWhere is it coded to only optimize images that are contained within the Media Library? I wish to change that subset of images to optimize all images in the uploads directory.
Also, are the images automatically optimized within the Media Library or are there additional settings required to make that work for the plugin. It doesn’t seem to auto optimize images within the Media Library. When I view the Media Library it states “Not Optimized” next to images in the Media Library even after plugin installation.
Here is my setup for the plugin, and I am running PHP 5.3 on a Linux Server on a shared Hostgator server. I haven’t changed or checked any of the plugin settings.

In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] Feature Request: Add Custom DirectoriesThanks for the reply. The folder I want to optimize all images is wp-content/uploads. Can you be more specific as to how to code that into the aux-optimize.php file?
Thanks again.

In reply to: [EWWW Image Optimizer] Feature Request: Add Custom DirectoriesI have an issue related to a slider (MetaSlider Pro) that resizes images and saves them to the uploads directory but not the Media Library. As a result, the jpegs for the slider are not progressive jpegs.
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/130924_EW_P8E/
http://www.worldnewsreader.comThe EWWW Image Optimizer only appears to optimize images that are included in the Media Library. Please let me know if I am missing something.
I am conversant with LAMP installations and pretty good with rewriting PHP code so perhaps there is a way that I can specify that all images (i.e. jpegs) within the uploads directory be optimized. That way, the EWWW image optimizer plugin would optimize the images automatically.
Please advise on how to best resolve this issue.
Thanks.

In reply to: [TubePress] Thumbnails don't playI did actually. I have Hostgator which is a fantastic hosting provider (simple default permissions reset – imagine that) but I still need to know two things. First, how can I add a YouTube channel? Second, I know about the API latency issue but my videos for YouTube trending are over five months old mostly January time frame. Hopefully that can be fixed?
Please take a look at the website again and advise how I can add a YouTube channel most likely as a short code and how I can have more recent videos. For example, YouTube trending should be based on today not 3 months ago. Thanks again.

In reply to: [TubePress] Thumbnails don't playI am using TubePress 3.0.1 on a WP 3.5.1 installation on a shared linux server (PHP 5.2). I am having exactly the same thumbnails issue.
The videos and thumbnails display great for both YouTube and Vimeo, and the first video runs without issue. The thumbnails either do not load videos or simply fade out the video box (depending on the browser). I am thinking that this issue is due to the Cross Domain Ajax issue as my Site and WordPress URL are both set to http://www.worldnewsreader.com but the tubepress documentation indicates that the ajax call is most likely to worldnewsreader.com. I am fairly versatile with manipulating my .htaccess file but I still can’t seem to get the thumbnails to load properly. Firebug hasn’t helped to fix the issue either.
I’ve deactivated all the existing plugins to better isolate troubleshooting this issue, and you can view the tubepress installation at http://www.worldnewsreader.com/trendingnow. I’d greatly appreciate if you can provide the necessary mod rewrite to insert into my .htaccess file so that I can get the thumbnails to load properly or if there is a better way to resolve this issue. Thanks.

Ben –
I am having the exact same issue with my WP 3.5.1 installation (GoDaddy hosted shared server; PHP 5.3). The entire website is no longer accessible and will not load after I make changes to the WYSIJA configuration. This happens on an intermittent basis not consistently.
I’ve reached out to Kim about this issue but perhaps you can assist as the exact same issue has already risen for another WYSIJA user. I can’t access my website (even the admin dashboard) from any browser or any device.
The only workaround that I have found is to uninstall the plugin and wait a bit. I’d really like to get it working though as I think you guys have developed an optimal solution. Please advise how best to resolve. Thanks.
