Hi Takis,

Well a few images served at 100% sounds better than not at all. I will leave this function on and see how it goes.

Thank you for all your time and help, truly appreciated. All the best with future plans to improve what is already a fantastic plugin.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Takis,

Ok I have tried the CDN feature and I can confirm that it is replacing out the same images that the plugin was before. You have spoken of the known disadvantages of using this feature, can I ask, what are the advantages?

Thanks
Steve

Hi Takis,

Thankyou for your detailed answer, it has cleared things up considerably.

In light of your comments, I have turned HiDpi support OFF and turned bigger dimension ON. I am quite happy with the result of this, as it serves slighty higher resolution files to ‘portrait’ screens thanks to bigger dimension. If a user is on a retina device, they will see the benefit of this larger size when viewed in portrait mode. The page load is now acceptable, and the images are a good balance of weight/detail. Thank your for explaining!

It now works acceptably, so unless there is a reason to enable CDN support, I will most likely leave this turned off in light of the drawbacks you mention.

On another note, looking at this page again:

https://www.scenicgems.com/australia/attractions/hunter-valley-2

… you will notice 7 images all grouped together near the top of the page. These small images are not being resized by the Adaptive Images Plugin. I understand why they aren’t being resized, as the plugin works off the viewport size, not individual image dimensions.

Do you feel that it is possible for a developer to add functionality to the plugin, to do the following (excuse my non code speak):

If cookie value of viewport = < 640,
resize and swap out 545x363px images for (a smaller image dimension)
resize and swap out 363x242px images for (a smaller image dimension)

I ask this, as I am also working on a google map with about 450 thumbnail images to load. If I could hook into the Adaptive images plugin to serve lighter thumbnails, my goal of mobile greatness will be one step closer ?? If you had any advice to pass onto a developer for the above it would be most welcome.

Thankyou again Takis, this would have to be one of my favourite plugins for WordPress. I cannot tell you how much time and effort this little packet of goodness has saved me.

Thanks
Steve

Hi Takis

Yes I was wondering where you were! I hope the event was a good one for you ??

I was doing some testing last night which involved removing the plugin, my apologies. I have reinstalled the plugin and it says that it is working correctly in the dashboard.

I have followed your video tutorial and have setup a 360×640 mobile screen in Chrome to test. The cookie tells me 640,3. It appears the cookie looks at the depth, rather than the width? Is this correct?

I take your point that viewing this page on retina screens may not invoke a lower res image to be called. Thanks for the heads up with this. Even so, a 1360×720 image loaded via an 720×1280 iphone 5 I would have thought would produce a 1024 or 720 image according to my breakpoints?

After reinstalling the plugin, I have loaded this page: https://www.scenicgems.com/australia/attractions/hunter-valley-2 at the 360×640 (chrome) size, but there are no images being generated currently in the adaptive-images cache folder.

As mentioned, the plugin has worked somewhat in the past, perhaps it was working completely, but at present something needs attention?

Thank you so much for any assistance Takis.

Note: I have cloudflare, siteground cache plugin and autoptimize installed.

Cheers, Steve

Nevermind Stephan, I have read an article that has just convinced me to migrate from the bloated Avada theme.

Many thanks,
Stephen

Oh I see. Yes, categories are completely new to me.

Thanks Blade!

Just to add.. here is the most concise page I could find on Marker Manager:
