[Plugin: ImageShack Offloader] what’s the best way to test out this plugin?

I have not looked at the plugin, but I’d be surprised if it did anything with unpublished posts.

After 5 minutes I checked out that test post and the image I had uploaded was still being served through the main website server. Shouldn’t it have been offloaded onto Imageshack?

Yeah, it should have been. Maybe there’s a problem with wp-cron. Go to Settings -> ImageShack Offloader and set the Offload interval to 0 and see what happens.

Is there a solid method to test that this is working well?

Well, first you can check the “Offloading Status” box on the dashboard. After that, you can just check if the image sources are replaced in the post content.

Does the fact the post was a draft (and private) have anything to do with this not showing up right away?

No, it doesn’t matter if the post is published or not. What matters is that the image is attached to a post.

Scribu – thanks for the response. From what I can tell of the account we have set up at imageshack, things are getting offloaded there. So that’s definitely good news.

What I’m wondering about now though – is how to get the most recently uploaded/attached images moved off to imageshack. There are new posts published in the last 12 hours or so that haven’t been offloaded (even though “newest first”) is checked off.

Is it feasible to think that there might be a query I could alter in the plugin that might limit the offload process to all posts/images posted/uploaded since, say, June 30?

I don’t want to go without saying thank you for the contribution to the WP community. This could potentially save a lot of people a lot of heartache going forward ??

Check out lines 79 to 82 in imageshack-offloader.php

$where = "
	WHERE post_type = 'attachment'
	AND post_mime_type LIKE 'image/%'
";

This could potentially save a lot of people a lot of heartache going forward ??

I hope so ??
