Photon skip image filter not applied

    Hi,

    I want some images to be served by the actual server and not by Photon (or a CDN). Thus, I inserted this code:

    function my_photon_exception( $val, $src, $tag ) {
        update_option('cc_debug', 'was applied');
        return true;
}
add_filter( 'jetpack_photon_skip_image', 'my_photon_exception', 10, 3 );

    in my main plugin file.

    However, this filter is not applied at all. In fact, I inserted an echo in file class.photon.php in line 169 and this echo is not displayed, too.

    This leads to the problem, that I can not exclude images from being served via CDN/photon.

    Any ideas?

    If you want jetpack_photon_skip_image to always return true, you would need to define that value a lot later, by hooking it into wp for example, as we’ve done here in the first example:
    https://jetpack.me/2013/05/03/skip-a-image-with-photon/

    If you only want it to return true for specific images, the second code snippet on that post will work.

    In fact, I inserted an echo in file class.photon.php in line 169 and this echo is not displayed, too.

    That’s to be expected, as the function containing the filter, filter_the_content, doesn’t echo anything. It’s used to filter the_content only.

    I hope this helps.

    The function filter_the_content was executed, however, if never passed the first if condition, because the content is created dynamically in the browser. Thus, the_content was an empty string.

    Of course I tried to echo a constant to decode the control-flow ??

    In the end of the day, the problem was that I assumed that jetpack_photon_skip_image can be used to ignore a set of images according to ALL photon interactions. This is incorrect, since photon’s resize function uses a different hook.
    To be honest, this is seems to be a contradiction to the official description on jetpack.me:

    If you’d like to exclude an image from being cached and served by Photon, you can add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file

    Or at least it is misleading.

    I’m not sure I understand. Could you give me more details about this? If there is an issue, we’ll fix it!
