This has been one of my favourite plugins for years, the 2nd thing I install after ACF. I’m very sad to see it go. Nonetheless, I wish the developer well. Thanks for the wonderful code.

If you’re looking for alternatives:

• The plugin Better Image Sizes says it’s based on Fly. It offers additional features, and is actively maintained ATOW. One of its features is generating <picture> elements, and its methods seem to be drop-in replacements for Fly’s own.
• This article mentions some other alternatives.
• The original plugin’s GitHub is here. You can view its forks here, some of which have unique commits.

• This topic was modified 11 months, 3 weeks ago by Code Muffin.

Hi, i love your plugin and use it on serveral project. Now its gone. At github you state that there are better plugins arround doing the same job, can you help me and other users by telling wich? That would be great!

Hi.

Thanks for the plugin

I think I might have found a bug, hoping you can fix it.

class-core.php line 332

// If size is ‘full’, we don’t need a fly image

if ( ‘full’ === $size ) {

return wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, $size, $attr );

}

The below is not right:

wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, $size, $attr );

I believe it should be:

wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, $size, $crop, $attr );

https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/wp_get_attachment_image/

Basically – if the size is “full”: no attributes are passed to the image

Thanks again

Does this wonderful plugin use any php image compression?
If not, do you have plans to add it?
It would be nice to squeeze another compression 5-10% out of each image file.

Hi, I used a plugin to replace certain images. This only replaced the main image, but not the images generated by “FLY”. Can I simple just delete the fly folder and it will generate all the images on the next call again?

I spend 1 week fighting with wpEngine why our images darker then it original.
So how can i disable it?

For example original: https://paytatodev.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/video_poster-1024×685.png

Fly image version:
https://paytatodev.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/281/video_poster-0x0-c.png

The background on original image is:#0A0808
But on fly version is: #030202

Hello,

thank you for a great plugin!
It is a part of every WP web I’ve created (that means hundreds of websites).

I really miss one feature and it is a Focal point.
It’s pretty simple to do that, so I made a pull request on your GIT
https://github.com/junaidbhura/fly-dynamic-image-resizer/pull/56

It can open new possibilities for 3rd party extensions too, to detect faces, objects and other things with some APIs, etc…

Please take a look on it, it’s pretty crucial for my next project.
It will not affect any existing installations, it’s just a new functionality/possibility.

Hope you will like it and merge it soon ??

Thanks

I’ve noticed an issue with the Fly Dynamic Image Resizer when using PHP 8.0.1. It doesn’t generate new image sizes.

e.g.
When using existing image sizes (from when i was using php 7.4)
<?= fly_get_attachment_image( $block['image'], '736f' ); ?> works like a charm.

But when i switch to php8, and create a new image size, say 900×900
fly_add_image_size('900f', 900, 900, true);

The following won’t return any image. Same goes for fly_get_attachment_image_src
<?= fly_get_attachment_image( $block['image'], '900f' ); ?>

Var_dump returns an empty array.

No image is shown. There’s no fatals being thrown.

WP Version: 5.9.2
Plugin Version: 2.0.8 (the only active plugin in my installation)

This plugin doesn’t seem usable. The instructions say to install it and add some image sizes to your functions.php file. Yea, doesn’t work.

if ( function_exists( 'fly_add_image_size' ) ) {
    fly_add_image_size( 'home_page_square', 500, 500, true );
    fly_add_image_size( 'home_page_square_2x', 1000, 1000, true );
    fly_add_image_size( 'cropped_top_left', 1000, 1000, array( 'left', 'top' ) );
}

You add this to your functions.php file. How does it know what resolutions to make the images at? There is no srcset or anything. How is anyone using this? They’re not really using it are they? Just be honest. Zero actual people are using this plugin. Right?

When you enable this plugin and specify your own responsive images sizes, should you disable the built-in responsive image functionality in WP? And should you delete all existing responsive sized images and let this plugin remake them as needed? What about if a theme creates its own responsive sizes in addition to the 3 sizes (Thumbnail, Medium, Large) built into WP? Should you include all of those sizes in your PHP code?

How we do development at my office, there are hundreds of thousands of images in our WordPress install, so we just leave them on the live site, and locally, if it doesn’t find an image, it just grabs them from the live site (via htaccess). But Fly images names every file differently, so that the images aren’t on the live site either (because they’re named differently). Is it possible to have a universal naming scheme?

Hi there,
does your plugin also generate the sizes on the fly, when I use srcset in the markup to show different images in different screen widths?

1)
When I use the following code:

if ( function_exists( 'fly_add_image_size' ) ) {
    fly_add_image_size( 'banner', 2420, 0, false );
}

in functions.php and generate the file like this:

fly_get_attachment_image_src( $imageid, 'banner', false );

The file is not generated and the result is a blank array.

2)

When I generate the file like this:

fly_get_attachment_image_src( $imageid, array(2420,0), false );

The file is generated and there is an resulting array.

Why do 1) and 2) have different results? This only happens with the 0 size.

Would it not be better to have both methods result in the same behaviour?

Just a heads up. Great plugin, I am always annoyed by the immense mess of the media folder ;).

Hello,

thanks for a great plugin, I use it for year, but now I just found scenario where it’s not working

I want WP to delete all connected attachments when post is deleted, so I use:

add_action( 'before_delete_post', 'maybe_delete_post_attachments', 10, 1 );
function maybe_delete_post_attachments( $post_id ){
	if( get_post_type( $post_id ) == 'inzerat' ){
		$attachments = get_attached_media( '', $post_id );
		foreach( $attachments as $attachment ){
			wp_delete_attachment( $attachment->ID, 'true' );
		}
	}
}

but it’s not working because of Fly Dynamic Image Resizer:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function JB\FlyImages\WP_Filesystem() in /wp-content/plugins/fly-dynamic-image-resizer/inc/class-core.php:114
Stack trace:

When calling the function like:

$some_image = 'some-valid-image.jpg';
$the_image = fly_get_attachment_image_src( $some_image, array(700,700), true );

…that image then gets put in a folder like:

/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/12345/some-valid-image-1280x1092-c.jpg

If that image already exists, will the plugin try to recreate it? If so, is there a way to avoid this and use the already existing image?

We have like 140 images on a page and are getting 429 errors because the host says we’re running too many processes, so I’m hoping there’s some way to reduce this since we don’t want to stop using this exemplary plugin!

Is this compatible with https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-smushit/, https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tiny-compress-images/, and the like?

Hey there,
This is such an amazing plugin. I have combined this with breeze cache plugin. This works like a charm. But i have CDN. Is it possible to include support to this ?

Here is how my CDN looks :
https://cdn.statically.io/img/MYSITE/wp-content/uploads/IMAGE.jpg

Regards,
Vamsi

If my source image is
FileName.JPG

The created Fly image is
FileName.jpg

But when I call
fly_get_attachment_image()

it outputs a reference to FileName.JPG (in the correct Flywheel directory). But on case-sensitive servers like mine, that capitalization difference returns a missing image.

In the past I’ve used https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/webp-express/ for creating webp images, and that plugin seems to work well. But I have 1 server that doesn’t get along with that plugin very well. I was wondering if you know of any other plugins that play well with Fly Dynamic Image Resizer to create webp images. I’ve tried several that don’t work. They’ll create the webp images, but they don’t end up showing on the front end. Thanks!

Can’t find a plugin for this I just have to edit the HTML and then can click on the image to make it full size. I just copy the image name and take out the size numbers at the end of the file name in the HTML code for a image.

It’s to bad WordPress don’t auto do this. It saves the full image any way and never uses it that I know of. Like your info said it saves a lot of size images. So let it just display what size it wants but if you click on the image make it full size.

Hello,

is there a way how can I get rid of width="" and height="" in images?

I use fly_get_attachment_image function, but I can see in your plugin in /inc/class-core.php in function get_attachment_image() that there is no filter after $html = rtrim( "<img $hwstring" );, so maybe this will be solution to add 1 more apply_filter before return $html;

Yes I know, that I can use fly_get_attachment_image_src, but then I need to write multiple lines of code to echo that and also fill alt attribute…

Here is my code

$url_thumbnail_1x=fly_get_attachment_image_src( $attach_id, array( $imgwidth_1x, $imgheight_1x ), $crop=false);
print_r($url_thumbnail_1x);
exit();
$url_thumbnail_1_5x=fly_get_attachment_image_src( $attach_id, array( $imgwidth_1_5x, $imgheight_1_5x ), $crop=false);
$url_thumbnail_2x=fly_get_attachment_image_src( $attach_id, array( $imgwidth_2x, $imgheight_2x ), $crop=false);
$url_thumbnail_3x=fly_get_attachment_image_src( $attach_id, array( $imgwidth_3x, $imgheight_3x ), $crop=false);
$url_thumbnail_4x=fly_get_attachment_image_src( $attach_id, array( $imgwidth_4x, $imgheight_4x ), $crop=false);

I want to change name of file by default it will takes _width_X_height.png something like this
I want to change it like 1x.png , 2x.png

Please help me in this .
Many Thanks in Advance.

My sites current theme creates way too many unused image sizes, and I was about to integrate this plugin into out site by way of a child theme. I thought I would be able to just remove the parent themes add_image_size() calls and replace them with fly_add_image_size(). However I didn’t realize that the dynamically generated image sizes needed to be called by the plugin functions within the templates themselves.

Am I missing something? Is there some way to dynamically generate the themes thumbnails without changing every unique call for get_image_size() within the theme?

Hello. Thank you for your very powerful plugin.
I have question. It’s possible to add percent or value like 0.2 for vertical and horizontal crop position to use it with focal point value? Thank you.

Hi,

I’m using this plugin on site https://dev.manuvia.sk/articles/. Most of the images are displayed correctly, but some of them are not displayed. They are not created in /uploads/fly-images directory. How to solve this problem?

Jaro

Hi! I’ve been looking for an alternative to WPThumb (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-thumb/) because the WP Engine CDN doesn’t work with WPThumb. The thing I love about WPThumb is that it works with the core WordPress functions the_post_thumbnail(), wp_get_attachment_image_src(), and wp_get_attachment_image()

Have you thought about having that as an option for your plugin? Thanks for the great contribution to the community!

Hey @junaidbhura,

I am trying to find a function that can handle to resize the image.
I have any image of 1280 X 1900 and I want to resize it to 1920 to 1030 which totally destroyed the image. it gave me the dimensions of 1280 X 1030.
I used the function fly_get_attachment_image_src (<id_of_the_image>, 1920, 1030, true)

And I dont care what position it is like center or left top or right bottom. I want it to resize and crop it in that dimension. You documentation doesnt have much to say on this topic.

Please let me know
Krist

Hey Junaid,

First of all, I would like to thank you for developing a really awesome plugin. this plugin has been really efficient and handy. I am now trying to work in a different environment. I would like to store the media file to google cloud storage, I am using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-stateless/ this plugin to connect to google. Now my images are not showing up… any idea how can I get your plugin to work with Google cloud?

Really appreciate your help.

Regards,

Hi Junaid,

1. Please, give me the right Fly Dynamic Image Resizer code example with right images sizes specially for functions.php file of our https://kleinburd.ru/news Fashionistas Theme.

2. Fly Dynamic Image Resizer will be work properly together with Hyper Cache, Autoptimize, PB SEO Friendly Images and Regenerate Thumbnails by Alex Mills?

Sincerely, Valentine Kleinburd
CEO of Kleinburd Digital Agency

This is a bit niche but of course I manage to trigger it.
If you in a short code do a switch_to_blog() on a multisite install and try to fetch an image from the blog you are not visiting you will get a faulty image src when using fly_get_attachment_image_src.

To recreate.
Have a multisite with at least 2 blogs.

Upload an image each blog and save the ids.

Replace the ids in the code below, $image_id with the image on the blog you are adding the shortcode to. $other_image_id should have the image id on the blog you switch to in the code.

Change $blog_id to the id of the blog that has the $other_image_id

Add a post with shortcode [fly_test] on the blog that has the $image_id.

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Fly Bug
Description: bug test
Version: 2.0.4
Author: Joel Bernerman
*/

add_shortcode('fly_test', 'fly_test');

function fly_test() {
    // set an existing id to blog in multisite you are not using the shortcode on.
    $blog_id = 2;
    // set an existing id to image on the blog switched to.
    $other_image_id = 10;

    // set an existing id to image on the blog you are using the short code on.
    $image_id = 193;

    fly_add_image_size('test_size', 500, 500, true);

    // Make sure _fly_dir is set in fly image plugin.
    fly_get_attachment_image_src($image_id, 'test_size');

    switch_to_blog($blog_id, true);
    // Use an image id from blog switched to.
    $src = fly_get_attachment_image_src($other_image_id, 'test_size');
    restore_current_blog();
    print '<pre>';
    var_dump($src);
}

The result is the src gets a absolute path in the url.

array(3) {
  ["src"]=>
  string(107) "https://wp.local/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/fly-images/10/load-500x500-c.png"
  ["width"]=>
  int(500)
  ["height"]=>
  int(306)
}

I will try to find a fix for this. and will return about it.
