Hi Paul,
It’s almost impossible for a WordPress plugin to be compatible with all other plugins out there. With the WP All Imports plugin its even more difficult, as it’s not free.
Could you perhaps explain to us what exactly happens when you upload images via WP All Imports? I take it that the images uploaded this way are still added to your Media Library, and that WordPress still creates different image sizes for these images and stores them in your uploads folder?
If that is the case, does compressing one such image manually in the list view of the Media Library work?
Thank you for your reply.
The exact process is wp all imports adds the image to WordPress media library and I can optimise the ‘master’ image within the media library as per normal. The problem for me is I use a slider to display the images and the slider creates its own thumbnails that can not be seen within the media library. I have tried a plungin to view all thumbnail sizes, but the thumbnail I needed to optimise still was not on the list. I have used FileZilla to download images so I know they are present.
Does this give you enough info?
Thank you
From that explanation I understand that the problem isn’t with the WP All Imports plugin but with the slider plugin? Is that correct?
If the slider uses custom sizes that aren’t registered with WordPress, then there is unfortunately not much we can do about it. Our plugin compresses images with their respective image sizes that are registered in WordPress. It doesn’t do so by monitoring your uploads folder to see if any new images were added there.
I hope that explains everything.
