no srcset

Hi letsssgo!
Can you turn on the debug mode and show me the output?
Does this happen if you switch theme to twentyfifteen for example?

Okay the debug is on, from where would I retrieve the output?

The output should be displayed at the HTML source code just above the image in question.

I did include, in the initial post above, the debug “Notice” located in the Settings/RWP-Settings page that is output after clicking the Save button.
Are you referring to when I drop/upload an image into the library?
Sorry, I’m new to WordPress..

Not sure where to debug. This helpful?

not doing to well putting up a link..

don’t give up on me people… I’m going to get this working. just need a little help in how to trouble shoot.

You should turn on debug mode on the RWP settings page. The debug information would appear above images as HTML comments in the source code.

Yes, I turn on the debug mode last night. I don’t see any debug info above the images in the source code.

I see that it shows src= rather than srcset=

After src=” ….img.jpg” data-src=”null”>

well I guess I’m too clumsy for your plugin. it’s a shame because I have about a gigs worth of large images I’d like display smartly.

Of course you’re not! ??
No debug information means that RWP isn’t doing anything with the images at all. I suspect that the theme does something special with them. You mentioned a lazy load solution? It could have something to do with that.

What happens if you turn off RWP? WordPress 4.4 has a native solution for responsive images. If that doesn’t work either, it’s something with the theme.

Hey – glad to hear back…
The theme I’m using adds a dozen different image sizes. That’s along with the 3 already there created by WP. In my eyes, the upload folder is a huge, unorganized mess. It’s why I’m looking for a new solution.

One of my hopes is to work only with the sizes necessary for responsiveness (including the retina sizes). Fortunately, I can turn the unneeded additional sizes off. The other issue involves compression.

It’s alarming to me that the jpeg compression of each WP processed image is far larger than I believe it should be. For instance, my own 200kb, 1920×1080 img.jpg (which I take great pains to create as small a weight as sensible) initiates the creation of: img-1600×750.jpg which weighs in at over 400kb. And this same discouraging ratio of WP compression is found right down the line. Am I missing something?

Do you think media queries might be the only solution? I’m fine to create each of my own images but I’m in the woods as to the best overall solution.
