Optimize only images in a custom folder

    On my website, I have a folder inside the wp-content/uploads folder that is not included in my WordPress website’s media files (no entries in the database). I upload these files directly to the server using FTP so WordPress does not even know these files exist.

    Using TinyPNG, I want to be able to process these images and optimize them. Is this something I can do with the plugin? I didn’t see any settings letting me do this so can I do this with custom code? I am wondering if using the plugin is right in such a situation or if should I integrate it using TinyPNG’s API and not the plugin.

    Thanks.

    Hello omerps,

    Unfortunately, you won’t be able to compress the image that are not identified by the media library in your WordPress environment using our WordPress plugin.

    While leveraging our API to configure a custom solution is definitely an option, I’d also like to suggest considering our CDN. It’s specifically designed to address scenarios similarly to yours, offering a streamlined and efficient solution for image compression. This way, you have the flexibility to choose the approach that best suits your needs.
