    @ernienet This is strange. Are you saying that when you go to Appearance > Editor and insert a new block there is no Site Logo block?

    Have you since tried to use a different theme (like installing a second copy of the twenty twenty two theme) with any success? Do you have any plugins installed that you think might cause this?

    If nothing works and you don’t wish to reinstall WP (understandable), you can add the favico tags to the theme’s files manually as a last resort.

    @darell Thank you, but yes of course. As I said in the post, all of them are sort of trial versions pushing their actually-functioning cloud solution, with the exception for EWWW, which kinda also works locally.

    So far, I’ve found:

    Opti MozJPEG Guetzli WebP (yeah that’s the name)
    Just Image Optimizer
    WebP Express
    Warp iMagick – Image Compressor

    Opti MozJPEG bla-bla was somewhat out of date, and I could not get it to work on a Windows server. I didn’t have a chance to check on Linux yet, so maybe it works there – because otherwise it seems cool.
    Just Image Optimizer was also last updated 2 years ago and didn’t fully function on new WordPress installs.
    WebP Express was fantastic, but I don’t want to serve WebPs at this point, only to optimize JPEGs.
    Warp iMagick was the best, and I loved it, but it had one fatal flaw for me – no ability to bulk optimize previously uploaded images. Not only for older uploads, but also it doesn’t trigger when my images get uploaded by any means besides via media-new.php. This means my auto gallery sync produces unoptimized image sizes.

    For something so simple, I really expected to find a community-preferred open-source alternative. I understand the need for CDNs, sure, but at that point just go with Jetpack/Proton or scale up to something more professional/industrial. I’m sure the majority of standalone WordPress installs would find a self-hosted image processor sufficient, and they wouldn’t have to compromise their and their visitors’ privacy with some weird third-party services.

    As I said above, EWWW Image Optimizer does work locally even in the free version, and it does the job for me. I’d be happy to use Warp iMagick instead, if I figure out how to use it together with my other plug-in.

    Ok, so of course right after posting this I’ve fixed it. Maybe it’ll help someone, maybe not:

    Firstly, my XAMPP was disconnected from the internet (which I think is a good idea), but because of this I didn’t realize there was an update for WordPress to 5.3.1. This fixed the issue.

    However, if you’re using wordpress 4.4 – 5.2.5(+?) and are running into this issue, you can fix it thusly:

    add_filter( 'max_srcset_image_width', 'max_srcset_image_width', 10 , 2 );
function max_srcset_image_width() {
    return 2048; // Your preferred max size.
}

    Thanks!
