When you run just about any resize operation in WP, EWWW is hooked right into that process and does the optimization right as the new images are saved to disk, so it should not be necessary to re-run the bulk optimize. You can double-check that it is working by going to Bulk Optimize, and viewing the optimized images table. Newest images should be at the top.
Thanks for the fast reply.
Would I also get the new size images using the Bulk Optimize tool? I like having the real-time output of how many Kb the plugin saved. It makes it easier to adjust the settings to see what I’m getting on speed / compression trade off.
Also, my VM has 8 vCPUs… it would be nice if I could open the bulk optimize tool in multiple windows/tabs and work on different sets of images…. Right now, it will be 24 hours before the process is done…. If I could run it 4 times in 4 windows it should be 6 hours, a big difference.
I just came across this:
http://wp-cli.org/commands/media/regenerate/
Not sure if EWWW will work together with wp-cli but it does exactly what I was looking for… allows to run multiple times over sets of images.
That would probably work, and since you have 8 vCPUs, it would probably be faster overall even though you’re rebuilding all the resizes from scratch.
thanks again for the quick replies.
I’ve got 2 questions about your cloud service.
1. Is it possible to send only my jpg’s to your service for processing, and continue to handle everything else locally?
2. If I buy an annual plan, is the full quota immediately available, or is only 1/12th available each month?
Thanks,

1. Yes, you can process each image type differently, so you can send JPGs to the cloud, and keep PNG and GIF local.
2. The full quota is available at any time. For example, with the Aluminum plan, you get 12,000 images that you can use any time within 12 months. Plans can be stacked if you find out you need more later too.
Thanks. I just signed up, and am waiting for the key to arrive.
Is there a way I can kick off a job of only jpg optimization?
My current optimization job has another 8 hours to go, and I don’t want to start over again for the jpg compression.
Thanks,

I think I may have broken your API key delivery…. My paypal email address has a ‘+’ sign in it.
Yeah, I wondered about that (second one I’ve had today ironically). Paypal encodes spaces with + signs, so the unencoding process converts them to spaces, which is an invalid email address… Contact me via http://ewww.io/contact-us/ with your paypal transaction information (and paypal email) and I’ll get it forwarded to you.
The only way I can think to do just JPGs would be to remove all the records in the ewwwio table that have jpg in them. You can safely start back at the beginning (by stopping and resetting the bulk optimizer), and it will skip through the already optimized stuff faster the second time through.
EDIT: You would do that with something like phpmyadmin, or direct sql commands, depending on your comfort level with mysql.
I fixed your email in the db, and triggered a resend of your key.
