Problem with images loaded on the fly

  • Hi,

    I guess the solution for my problem is already mentioned in the plugin’s FAQ. I just don’t know how to implement it.

    As soon as I active the plugin on my website (blog.alexanderschlosser.de) images on the homepage are not displayed anymore. Problem might be, that they’re loaded on the fly.

    The FAQ suggest to add this snippet to the page. However, I’ve just no idea where exactly I need to paste this.

    $(‘img’).each(function(){
    new RetinaImage(this);
    });

    Thanks in advance!

    I keep trying to figure it out by myself but haven’t found a solution yet. Let me know if you need more information on the issue.

    I appreciate your help!

    It took me some time but I actually figured out that the code should go into the init.js

    And it even seems as if the function is doing something – just not really what I want. For some reason it starts downloading ALL images from the entire website (even images that are not shown on the homepage) making the user wait until a 33mb Download is done.

    Any solution for this issue?

    I know that it might not be the issue of the developer of this plugin. But to be honest: I’m kind of unsatisfied with the support provided. It was the first plugin I’ve ever bought for WordPress and it kept me busy for over a week (and it’s still not working).
    All I want is at least a hint so I know where to look and what to do.
    Hope somebody can help.

    Thank you!

    Hello,

    The forum is not for the Paid version, you should contact me directly if you have an issue with the Pro version. I was traveling for two weeks so I was only focusing on the emails I was receiving directly.

    The problem is about Retina.js here, which is a third-party script loaded by the plugin. Retina.js support is somewhere else, on GitHub: https://github.com/imulus/retinajs. I myself don’t use it, don’t know exactly how it works internally. I know it works well and I keep it in the plugin because a few users like it but I DO NOT recommend it. PictureFill should be used instead.

    Image loaded on the fly can be a problem and usually the theme or plugin doing this should call my plugin’s function.

    Hi Jordy,

    thanks for your reply!
    I will keep posting to this thread instead of sending an email as somebody might be interested in this topic, too.

    Just two quick follow-up questions:
    (1) What do you mean by “usually the theme or plugin doing this should call my plugin’s function”? How can I do this myself?

    (2) Is there a way to restrict certain pages where retina images shouldn’t be loaded?

    Best

    1) To do it yourself is difficult, you would have to modify the code of your theme. The best is to ask them to add retina support. But I am afraid they will say “no, sorry” even though they should. A lot of themes do that already though…

    The solution you found in the FAQ is the only one unfortunately and myself don’t even encourage it. It would be me I wouldn’t use this theme/functionality/plugin or I will give up and have everything Retina except this part. This is… acceptable ??

    2) No you cannot do that. But what would you? If you don’t want to have them in retina, don’t have the retina images automatically created, But I don’t really see what you would want to do that.
