Re-optimize in media library does not work

Hello.

A plugin can’t just re-optimize an image to a different quality. You need to restore the backup in the plugin settings, and only then run the optimization with other settings.

Thank you Artem for the quick reply. In Imagify – the plugin that inspired you to the re-optimize option – clicking on it is directly re-optimizing that one image to that new quality. I guess they just run their optimization function with that chosen settings on the original file. For sure they succeed to do that, and if you offer that option as well, it should also work like it says, and it does work like this in case of Imagify.

Restoring the backup manually in the plugin settings, changing the optimization level, re-running … yes that’s possible as a workaround, but not the way this function is meant to work. Please consider to either make it work practically, or to take it out, as right now it is useless and just creates frustration and clearly feels like a bug, which does not give a good impression for your otherwise excellent plugin.

Hope to see this function work, as it is a superb function (and maybe after you implemented this one successfully, I recommend to also put on your roadmap the before/after comparison that Imagify offers. That one will take quite some coding time though, but it’s a genius feature).

Thank you for this plugin, I know it’s still quite young but it’s doing very very well and is a promising favorite amongst the existing image tools. It might already be my new go-to, but with the re-optimizing function fixed, you definetily become a sure replacement for imagify just that you offer unlimited optimizations which puts you ahead.

I must have misunderstood you at the beginning. Do you want to re-optimize the images one by one in the media library? There are Re-optimize links there. Do they not work on your site?

Yes exactly, in the media library the re-optimize function next to each single image, this is what I referred to, that one does start and says “optimizing images” but there it stays forever without ever finishing the task.

And as said, I’ve installed then on a test site to exclude other influences, and there it is the same. Does it work for you as it should? Then it’s not just a general bug and I can let you into my page, maybe you find what is different there.

I am not a premium member, so seems I cannot use that option since I don’t have a license key.

Same problem.
