I installed the plugin on a test site of mine, and got the same notice upon activation:
https://i.wpne.ws/eLp7
It’s worth noting that we’ve made significant changes to the Photon module in Jetpack 3.8.1 and 3.8.2, to make sure the module was compatible with WordPress 4.4 and its new responsive images. Among those changes, we’ve modified the way Photon hooks into image_downsize()
. As a result, the conflict reported by the NGFB plugin authors might not exist anymore.
Since they’ve worked on that conflict and implemented a work around in the Pro version of the plugin, I’d recommend getting in touch with them, and asking them to check if they could run some tests and remove the notice in a future NGFB plugin update. Feel free to give them a link to this thread if they’d like to chat about this into more details!
Until then, and since the notice is generated by NGFB, I’m afraid you only have 4 alternatives:
- Run your own tests and see if you notice any bugs when using both NGFB and Jetpack’s Photon module.
- Deactivate Jetpack’s Photon module under Jetpack > Settings in your dashboard.
- Deactivate the NGFB Free plugin.
- Install the pro version of the NGFB plugin.
I hope this helps.
