In reply to: [RICG Responsive Images] WebP feature requestThanks for the info. Now i know even GD can produce WebP.
Found an interesting article.(Well to be frank it is a bit frustrating that this feature is still not in WP core, and on the other hand emoji icons do succeed into core instantly.)
WebP has an overall support of 67% it is definately big enough to care about. You have a working plugin with a great logic, why should someone else build another plugin that has another logic and engine (that would just bloat a WP site), knowing that your strategy and libs could handle it just perfectly?
Will dive further into your code but maybe all it needs is to generate webp if conditions are met, and then just serve them if the browser supports them. Both could be done with a few lines of code.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [RICG Responsive Images] WebP feature requestAnd imagick can actually generate WebP images, so i think people could benefit of such a feature and maybe it would not need too much development.

In reply to: [Co-Authors Plus] Compatibility with WPMLHi there,
Just tried to translate a guest author with WPML. Actually it is only the “Biographical Info” that should be translated as all the other data are the same in all languages.
It is not posible to translate only that field (or i miss something), so when i try to translate all the data, i get an error message:
“Display name conflicts with another guest author display name.”Any idea how to translate only “Biographical Info”?

In reply to: [WCPOS - Point of Sale (POS) plugin for WooCommerce] Products do not appearHi,
Here is my case:
I have 2 single products an one product that has 7 size-variations.
Just updated to v 0.3.2 and pos got just frozen. It simply did not display any products.Then i removed the product that has size-variations and then pos could show up my 2 other products.
Then just checked the product quantity of each size-variation of the product and in one size the quantity was lower than the notification treshold. So just modified the amount of this size-variation and after that pos showed all the products.
So wanted to double check and set back the quantity of the same size-variation to the initial amount but the products are still shown up in pos.
All this means there might be some inconsistency with products that have different variations.

In reply to: [PhotoDropper] Photo owner showing as blankGuys, the plugin is simply broken, not working with WP3.9.1 and the support team does not answer any questions. Is it a question that we should forget this plugin? 🙁

In reply to: [Registration Options for BuddyPress] 4.2.0 BetaHi Michael,
To answer your biggest question: yes the whole network will be administered by me as the only super admin.
Some more details to understand me better:
There is a public site http://www.searchprofessionals.com which is open to the public and has bbPress forums activated but without BP. People can search for professionals on it and ask questions on the forum. But nothing more. Users of this site can not log in on the second site.Then as second site there is http://www.professionals.searchprofessionals.com which is a closed social site of the professionals. They have BP and bbPress as well and they can even log in with their credentials on the first site to answer question of the public.

In reply to: [Registration Options for BuddyPress] 4.2.0 BetaIn V4.1.3 with the same modifications i can approve the new user in the back-end, so i can get one step further. However some notification emails will not get sent in V4.1.3 as other people stated as well.

In reply to: [Registration Options for BuddyPress] 4.2.0 BetaHi there,
Got a major issue, v4.2 simply does not work at all when buddypress is not installed on blog_id 1, but on blog 2 for example. Found out in line 264 of admin.php you simply hardcoded blog_id==1 so the menuitem will be shown only in case you have BuddyPress activated on blog 1.
Instead of hardcoding blog 1 you could perhaps check if BP is active like that: if ( function_exists( ‘buddypress’ ) ).I have a WP3.9.1 multisite with WP multi network plugin activated. Network 1 has site A which is open for the public and has no Buddypress at all. Network 2 has site B that is a closed social site for a small group of people with BP installed.
I really would need the functionality of your plugin but it simply does not work in my setup. Tried to modify line 264 of admin.php to blog_id==2 and activated BP even on blog 1. This way i could reach http://www.site_B/admin.php?page=bp_registration_options. Could opt for user approval. When a user registers on site B than he/she will be prompted that the admin will have to approve their account, but on the back-end the number of member requests stays 0, so there is no way to approve the new user.
Can you just fix it on github?

In reply to: [Fourteen Extended] Fourteen extendedWell… if it will not listed because of bugs then they could just ban 10% of all the plugins at least.
There is a post on Zulfikars blog:
Just wanted to post a quick announcement re my current absence from the site activity.
Unfortunately I suffer from acute heyfever and it is particularly bad this year round – I’m therefore on severely reduced PC usage time!
I hope you’ll all understand and bare with me as I recover and will aim to get back in to activity as soon as I possibly can.
Thanks in advance,
ZulfSo please think of about something other than just the plugin. Let’s hope things did not evolve even worse for him…

In reply to: [Join My Multisite] questionDouble checked, no other plugins active, use twentyfourteen on both sites, still not get the expected result.
Now i made a clean WPMU install on localhost using the latest WAMP. The only plugin ever activated is JMM. Theme is twentyfourteen. On localhost it is behaving as expected. That means i will now reinstall again WP at my host. Hope it helps.
Thanks for the help!

In reply to: [Fourteen Extended] poor feature image resolutionAs regarding the Image Magick plugin it runs on my sites with WP 3.9 without any problem. But it needs imagick module installed on the php server.
Under “crop the original image properly before resizing” i mean the following: If you know exactly how wide the image should be in the new layout of your site, then you could crop the originally uploaded image (in photoshop for example) so that it will have a width and height, that is dividable by the number of the targeted image width without any remaining fractionated pixels (applies even to image height). This way the resized and shrinked picture can have the best possible quality. However this method can be really time consuming because you have to do some maths & cropping with all the previously uploaded images.
That is why design and layout really matters and image issues may arise if you change design.
Since last time i examined the page you linked in. The following file is used as featured image: http://mikeshouts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/DeLorme-inReach-Explorer-Satellite-Communicator-672×372.jpg
If you take a look this picture has a lot of jpeg artifacts and fine details are just washed out.As your content area is wider than 672 pixels, this image will get even scaled up to fit the content area. This leads to further loss on sharpness.
(While the originally uploaded and unmodified picture seems ok for me)
Can you just revert back to your original theme for a few minutes and check exactly which file is used in that case?
My advice is to check if your server has imagick module installed. If so then install the image magick plugin for wordpress and set the compression quality to at least 90% in the plugin settings.
If your server lacks imagick module, then you can only stay on GD-library. In this case you should set compression quality of GD-library at least to 95% in the functions.php of your theme.
In each case you should then regenerate all the picture sizes of the uploaded images with a suitable plugin. Chances are high that you will be satisfied with the image quality after this procedure, but datasize of your images will be larger, taking more time to load your site. That is the trade-off for quality pictures.

In reply to: [Fourteen Extended] poor feature image resolutionYour theory is right, but technic is making some twists in it. As a consequence shrinking an image does not automatically mean a sharper picture. If your image was 960 pixel wide, you can shrink it to 480 pixel wide in a good quality because 960/2=480. So there will be only whole pixels in the smaller image. You mentioned the new image has a width of only 895 pixels. So take a look: 960/895=1,0726. There is no way to render fractions of pixels so the width of the image will be rounded up or down to a whole number of pixels. This means that most shrinked images show some distorsion. In most cases it manifests in loosing sharpness just as you mention in your case. Try to resize the image in such a way that no fractionated pixels will get involved (do some math before) or crop the original image properly before resizing.
In addition PHP servers use GD library for image manipulation as default. With it’s default settings the manipulated pictures tend to loose on sharpness. Try to use an image magick-plugin if your server supports it, you will get way better images.

In reply to: [Fourteen Extended] 1.2.2 and wpmlWell it seems it is just an issue of the order of tasks.
By modifying line 179from
add_filter( ‘twentyfourteen_get_featured_posts’, ‘fourteenxt_get_featured_posts’, 999, 1 );to
add_filter( ‘twentyfourteen_get_featured_posts’, ‘fourteenxt_get_featured_posts’, 1, 1 );the featured content will be translated even if the function ‘fourteenxt_get_featured_posts’ is enabled.
Actually until 10, 1 everything is fine, from 11, 1 onwards it will not be translated.
Can you just think about whether changing task order like that could possibly affect other functions of the plugin? I just do not know other aspects of the code.
