Hello,

Thanks for the advice. The “crop thumbnails” was unticked in Media Settings. I’ve now ticked it and that has stopped the extra versions being produced. ??

I still don’t really understand why a full size version of a pic is made bigger though. I’m using WAMP to develop and test locally on my PC. I’ve just added a pic measuring 600 x 562 at 33KB. The generated pics include the original which remains at 33KB but also another version it calls mypic-600×562. This last one weighs in at 52KB.

You say that image size is dependent on WordPress using server side modules. However, I’ve read that WordPress compresses images to 90% of their original size? Does this mean the results I’m getting are not typical? As you can see from the results I’m getting, the increase in file size is quite considerable.

I’m guessing that the files sizes for my smaller pics generated should be even smaller than they are based on what is happening to my large size pic?

The good news is that WooCommerce appears to be ignoring the large file size version and using my original. ??

I’ll install WordPress in a live environment and see what happens there. Maybe my results are something to do with WAMP?

Yes, unfortunately you will need to re-enter all your products. You should be able to export from MarketPress and then import into the WooCommerce store. There will still be some data entry required possibly. Here is a link which should help – https://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-to-migrate-marketpress-to-woocommerce

The best way to avoid any downtime is to develop your new site locally in WAMP or XAMPP. Both free downloads that will enable you to install and work on your WordPress site on your PC. Then when you’re happy with it, you migrate it to your live environment, replacing what is already there. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube showing the migration process.

Hope you manage to find what is causing the problem. My php is too limited, and on this occasion Google let me down! Lol.

Hello Manishk,

I already tried deactivating plugins etc., That had no impact on the issue, but switching theme to default WP and the problem went away. So definitely a theme issue of some kind.

I just tried my new build of software, but it hasn’t solved the problem. So I’m throwing it back to the vendor!

Good luck.

Hello Manishk,

I’ve been using a bit of software called TemplateToaster to create themes, so I raised a support ticket with them a couple of weeks ago.

Coincidentally they emailed me today to advise they have solved the issue in their latest build of the software. So if you’re using this is as well, just download the latest version of software and you should be ok. (I haven’t tested it yet!)

If your theme came from somewhere else you’ll need to contact the developer of the theme. I don’t know what the actual coding issue was, so can’t provide a DIY solution. ??

I think I’ve found a pattern which suggests what is going on.

The lightbox pics all seem to have different sizes as far as height and width. The pics that are quite wide don’t have the magnifying glass, whereas the others do!

So I suspect the results I’m getting are what they are supposed to be based on the height and width of the pics.

What I don’t understand though is that all the pics I’ve uploaded have a width of 800px, yet I seem to have ended up with all these different width pics when it comes to viewing the lightbox version! What’s that all about?

I’ve switched to WordPress 2016 theme, but I’m getting the same thing as before with the pics. Using WooCommerce 3.0.7

The only other plugins activated are Yoast Seo, Table rate Shipping, and Akismet. I can’t see that any of these should cause an issue.

The lightbox pics always respond the same for the pics that are selected. In other words, a pic that shows an arrow cursor will always show an arrow cursor, and a pic where the cursor changes to a magnifying glass will always show a magnifying glass.

I’m not getting that in Firefox or Chrome. I’ll try and switch themes and see what happens! Thanks for the feedback. ??

Thanks Steve. I thought it might be just about readability.

Ending with numbers is not too bad as far as that goes. Having said that, I’ll probably go back to using an underscore next time as well! ??

I’ve done a bit more testing and it would seem to be an issue with my theme that is causing this problem.

It’s obviously not an issue with the plugin, so I’m closing this thread and marking it resolved! ??

Hi Washiwed,

Thanks for the help. I’ve removed the <p> tags from the image file in the email-header.php template, and it’s closed the gap considerably. ??

However, there’s still a few pixels of space between the image and the content area. I’ve changed the background colour to black so it’s easier to see – https://internetsquad.co.uk/email-template2.html

Any idea where that space is coming from? I can’t see any margin, padding or border settings that could be the culprit.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for the link. I’ve been using this script for moving sites from local to live environment – https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

So if I’m changing all http urls to https, it should continue to work for me yes?

I don’t want to use a plugin if I can avoid it. ??

I can see how to exclude WooCommerce pages from being cached by Varnish now. They are added to the VCL file in Varnish. ??

Varnish won’t help speed up my WooCommerce pages of course, so maybe another look at Photon!

Ok, thanks for the advice. Much appreciated! ??

Ok, thanks. I’ve currently got WP Fastest Cache installed on the sites. I thought the capture was working, but it isn’t! Now I’ve got to go back in and exclude the page from all the sites! Oops. ??
