Lazy Loading not working

@joshhodgkiss

Sorry I have no idea what you mean by this

however it does not appear to be lazy loading any of the errors.

If you explain what you issue is with some detail i might be able to help you.

Wow just reread this, no wonder you couldn’t help, my bad.

I’ve done some digging since I posted this, it seems that either our custom theme, or another plugin called advanced custom fields is stopping the images from being lazy loaded, and this is with every plugin i’ve tried as well as custom JS.

I tried using this javascript to see if I could find out where the problem is occurring. The observer window manages to correctly identify when it’s coming close to an image, but the actual lazy loading of the images isn’t working.

I’ve since passed this on to a more experienced dev as i’m pretty new to all this, and since the problem seems to be coming from elsewhere rather than your plugin i’m happy to mark this as resolved, but before I do is there anything obvious that springs to mind that we could try?

Thanks for your time

Hi Josh @joshhodgkiss

I think we have made some advancement with this – @ondoheer who is coder and professional optimization consultant / ACF Premium users / a3 Lazy Load user, raised a support ticket about ACF / a3 Lazy Load Compatibility here. He has subsequently done the work to add full compatibility and contributed a Pull Request with the compatibility code.

We are currently reviewing the PR and all going well will have a new version 1.9.0 out later today or tomorrow with full compatibility with ACF free and Premium versions.

When that comes out it would be excellent if you could upgrade to the new version and see if it resolves the issue for you and let me know on here.

Hello Steve

That’s brilliant, I’ll give it a try and let you know

Thank you for the support!

Version 1.8.5 is out with ACF compatibility – please run the update v 1.8.6 ( fix for a bug we created in 1.8.5) and test to see if it is all good with your site.

Hello Steve

I installed and activated A3 Lazy Load version 1.8.7 this morning. Unfortunately, I have still had no success lazy loading any of my sites images. Has the issue been resolved for @ondoheer ? It would help determine if the problem is still due to ACF, or if it is something else I need to look into.

Thanks for your time

Josh

Hi Josh

Please post a link to your site where I can see ACF with lazy load activated

Hello Steve

Unfortunately I can’t do that, as I cannot publish changes to the live site for my company. All testing so far has been done in localhost. I understand this is inconvenient, is there anything in particular that you would be looking for? I could try it myself locally and provide screenshots of the results.

Hello Josh, it has been resolved and is working for the websites I am working on

Thankyou for the response Ondoheer, it seems as though there are other conflicts that I need to look into.

Thanks for all the assistance anyway, with the AFC issue resolved, hopefully I’ll find a breakthrough!

Cheers

Josh
