Excluding the first post image

  • Hi guys,

    many thanks for this thoughtful lazy-load plugin.

    I would like to disable lazy loading for the first image in every post as this is always visible. Perhaps even the first two images.

    Is there a way to do this for all posts without adding a css class to the first image in every post?

    Thank you very much for taking the time.

    Hi @hamu,

    hm, the only way that comes to my mind there is to hook a function to the_content that adds the skip-lazy class to the first one or two images it founds, before Lazy Loader processes the markup. The plugin has no option or something like that for this.

    Hello Florian,
    thanks a lot for your reply.
    Unfortunately, I don’t know how hooking a function to “the_content” would work.
    I don’t have the skills to do that.
    If this is not a lot of work for you, can you show me what I need to add and where?

    If this would take a lot of your time, such an option could perhaps be considered for a future release?

    I can go through the posts manually and add the class.
    Definitely doable for me and it would still be worth it. I just think it makes for a better user experience.

    All the best.

    Hi,

    hm, not sure about an extra option for that, I want to try to keep the number of options as small as possible.

    But I will take a look at it and post a code snippet later, that you can use to exclude the first image automatically. I will try to get this done on the weekend.

    Hi @hamu,

    the code from this Gist should exclude the first image of the post content: https://gist.github.com/florianbrinkmann/abdf929694a72e75c33d7a4254301f42

    You can add it to the functions.php of your child theme (or parent theme, if you use a custom theme).

    Best,
    Florian

    Wow, Florian. That is a lot of code you produced.

    Thank you very much.
    I’ll give it a go and report back.

    Hi @alios24,

    Oh my god, thanks a lot! I have been looking for ages for a plugin that has this function. As I use a large horizontal image in each post, it created a huge blank space taking the whole screen. Now the images loads immediately and others are lazy loaded, genial!
