The way I fixed this, after looking at the source code was to add the class ‘webpexpress-processed’ to the img element within the picture tag. This prevents webp Express from processing it. Not ideal, but good for now.

Thanks Anders. Really appreciated- this plugin is essential for the sort of work we do ??

Hi Anders,

The plugin does not create new images if you press “Cancel” when the crop dialog appears.

However, if you:

1. upload an image at the correct size
2. the crop dialog appears
3. user selects the entire image (they have no choice but to select the entire image)
4. press “Crop”

the plugin will create a duplicate set of images in the media library.

I actually think there should be an option whereby the crop dialog only appears if they select an image in the image library that is not the correct aspect ratio and needs to be cropped.

It would also be great if this plugin could enforce the required image size. i.e. if you need an image that is 200px x 200px, it will not let them publish the post until they have selected a suitable image. This would make the CMS bullet-proof for authors that are a little bit clumsy with their image selection.

Hi Anders,

Thanks for getting back to us. I understand of course, that if you select an image from the media library and choose to crop it to a different size, that new images should be created (as opposed to editing any existing crops) for the reason you mentioned.

However, if the user does not crop the image at all, it does not need to create a new image. Does that make sense? It’s quite a subtle case, but is quite a common use case. Is there anyway we can easily patch the plugin for this scenario?

Thanks,
Will

Yes, a github repo would be great. I can see there is an SVN setup but github would be ideal. I do really like this plugin as well, but I have about 8 custom crops via add_image_size so the fact that the plugin creates so many duplicate images is really problematic for us.

+1 This would be an excellent feature

hmmm, that’s a disappointing solution. It would be great if the plugin author could confirm this. And if this is the case, is there any sort of API for the W3 Total Cache plugin such that I could trigger the custom files to be uploaded each time a new image were added to the media library? I feel this should work out the box though, as right now, w3 Total Cache CDN uploader ignores perfectly valid Media Gallery images.
