Not using Settings "Images uploaded directly to the Media Library"

I was doing some testing with Imsanity and EWWW Image Optimizer, and I found the same thing. I had Images uploaded elsewhere set to 0x0 (disabled), and Imsanity would not touch the images I was uploading in the Media Library.

As soon as I set Images uploaded elsewhere to 1024×1024, Imsanity kicked in and started resizing my uploads.

eh crap, i’ll have to check that out again. WordPress doesn’t seem to have any “official” way to detect that images are uploaded to the media library at that point where Imsanity is hooking in so I’ve resorted to hacks – which seem to break constantly.

Can you give me your WordPress version?

I’m using the latest version of WordPress 4.1.1

Same problem here, fresh install ??

Same here WP 4.3.1 Imsanity 2.3.6

I’ve just tried @nosilver4u suggestion.

Uploads to Pages/Posts AND Media Library work when you add a width/height value to ‘Images uploaded elsewhere’. So if you set all fields to 1200px wide/high it does work for pages/posts and media library uploads.

Looks like it’s using the elsewhere value for uploads to Media Library.

I had pages/post value to 1200px for width/height
I had media lIbrary value to 1200px for width/height
I had elsewhere value to 2400px for width/height.

I was testing upload with an image 2000px wide. It didn’t resize via Media Library (but did within Page/post), so I thought plugin didn’t work, but it must have been referencing the ‘elsewhere value’, which the image was less than, so it didn’t resize (correctly).

When I drop the elsewhere value to 1200px, it does resize down to 1200px. This is OK for most of my sites as a workaround, but would ideally be fixed so that the settings work as planned.

Hmm it’s possible i might just have to remove that setting and have “images uploaded via pages” and “images uploaded elsewhere”

The problem is that WP doesn’t officially provide any way to tell where the uploads came from. I’ve put in hacks and such that I’ve observed that *usually* detect where the upload came from. But the WP developers seem to insist on fiddling with things from one version to the next. I’ve fixed this issue about 5 times already and I’m just not sure it’s worth it to me to keep guessing what they’ll do next!

Thanks for the help! I tried the 1200 x 1200 for all categories and the resizer now seems to work.

This problem cost me hours of my life! Thanks for this topic here!

@jason:
When this differentiation is so difficult, so why do you maintain it? I think, nothing is more annoying than a feature that isn’t reliable. I was on the verge to delete your great plugin because of this. Fortunately I found this topic! In your position I’d merge the both options media libary and elswhere. While uploading via pages/posts is recognized as seperate thing everything is fine, I think! ??
