Image Optimization - Smush It for Wordpress

Just read about this awesome Wordpress plug in and installed it: WP Smushit. Basically upon uploading an image to your blog it runs it though Yahoo's Smush It API which returns an image much smaller in file size. I ran it on some preexisting pictures and saved about 3mb already which is a lot because I resize my images before uploading them anyhow

This will not only save server space but bandwidth. I looked for a vBulletin plugin for attachments no such luck.

 

thanks, I'm going to add it to my blog

how do we run it on past images?
I don't see this anywhere..

PS... I have some images from an import and they're not in my media library yet, I found this mod and it seems to place all images in your library

Also.. if you have the smush it installed already, all images will be smushed as they are imported :toocool:

 

Please holler if you release something.

 

sign me up for that update to please

 

I just installed this plugin, but when I smush.it now link all I get is an error... Smush.it error: Could not get the image while processing http://www.truckdriversnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Logs-through-windshield.jpg (/home/aredneck/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Logs-through-windshield.jpg) Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance..

 

that link didn't go to an image for me?

 

I see it..and that's the correct link from here No clue why you can see it..

 

it's showing now, try to smush it a few times from the media menu?

 

Still getting same error..

 

It looks like it's coming from cache for you Redneck. When I view the page I don't see the picture linked above.

.

 

That is not good...no clue as to why you all can't see the images..no one has ever told me they could not see the images..I deactivated that plugin..it still was only giving me errors..Thxs anyways!

 

Smush.it's been good for me. Perhaps it's just something in your hosting environment that doesn't play well. If you have a full backup on your computer you can pull the picture and reupload it.

 

This plugin works just fine on one of my other sites. http://conservativechristianview.com/ Any suggestions now?

 

Sorry Redneck I'm fresh out of suggestions. Perhaps that image was corrupted in some way? I've seen it happen before when it displays fine but I cannot open it in Paint.net or Gimp.

 

Thanks, I think it is probably a setting or something the site is heavily modified and lots of plugins. When I post and send the post to FB the image won't show in FB either. But my other two sites which all three are identical the images show up..

Not sure why this had anything to do with it...but I disabled hotlink protection and now all the images show up and smush.it works on Truck Drivers News..and when I enable hotlink protection it disables all the images except for on the blog site..and smush.it won't work.
