ACF image Crop Migration

Hey, glad you like the plugin.

There is a backwards compatibility feature in this plugin if you come from ACF Image Crop so that the fields are displayed correctly in the WordPress admin and in the frontend. When you save the post, the data format is changed from the old format to the new format used by this plugin.

You’ll have to configure the fields to use the new field type but after that, the process should be automatic.

thanks for responding. sorry for asking dumb questions…i just dont want to screw anything up. What is the first step to doing this migration?

-Manually record all of the field information (cropping specs, conditional logic, etc)
-Delete Old fields
-Delete Old Plugin
-Active Your plugin
-Recreate all new cropping Fields with the same information as the old plugin

Is this the only method? I have around 30 fields that would need to be recreated.

Hey,

You don’t need to delete the old plugin, you can use them side-by-side until the migration is complete. This will make the process easier since you can change the field types one by one.

When all of them have been changed, you can remove the old plugin.

I also recommend you to take a backup of the site database and uploads folder in case any issues may arise during the migration.

Cool. so I did everything, but now im getting an error “Failed to crop image”. It actually seemed like it was working for little bit…so im not sure what happened.

Edit:

I just checked my debug log, and I’m seeing this:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined method WP_Error::get_size() in /home/xyz/public_html/admin/wp-content/plugins/acf-image-aspect-ratio-crop/acf-image-aspect-ratio-crop.php:226

I’m also seeing a 500 error with wp-admin/admin-ajax.php in chrome dev tools.

Hey, looks like the plugin is trying to access the original version of the image. Could you verify that the file name is something like my-image-scaled.jpeg?

There should also be an image with the file name like my-image.jpeg (without the scaled suffix) in the same directory.

Thanks

yes. i see the “….-scaled.jpg” version”. but it is still giving me an error “Failed to crop image”.

Do you have a version without the -scaled suffix in the same folder?

If that image is missing, it might be that the path is saved in the database but the file itself has been deleted.

I think I can add an additional check to the plugin in order to fix this issue.

i see 2 versions of each image:

1 – xxxxxxxx-scaled_1920x1080_acf_cropped.jpg
2 – xxxxxxxx-scaled.jpg

Hey,

I just released v4.1.1 which should fix this issue. Could you try updating and see if you can reproduce the issue?

Unfortunately, I am still receiving the error “Failed to crop image”.

I’d also like to add that if I open up a record, and click the crop button on an exiting image (to change the crop), nothing happens.

Where I see the error “Failed to crop image” is when I remove the existing image, and select a new image from the media gallery. The crop box popup opens, allowing me to change crop. but when I click “Crop”, it shows me an error in the bottom right of the window.

Thank you so much for your help with this, by the way…terrific support.

Here is the error in the log viewer:

“No editor could be selected” means that you don’t have ImageMagick or GD installed. You could check Tools ?? Site Health and see if there are any errors about missing PHP modules.

Yup! I answered my own question! I recently upgraded my php to 7.4, and GD wasnt switched on. It works now.

Thank you so very much for your help on this. seriously incredible support. Hopefully you continue to update this plugin for many years to come ??
