It’s been over 6 months that a security vulnerability has been discovered for this plugin.
Still not response. I am going to discontinue my subscription since this keeps happening over and over with Kraken.
It looks abandoned by the developer who is just cashing in on users who subscribed years ago, while he does nothing to maintain very obviously.

Hi,
Every time that I try to update this plugin on this site i get an error:
An error occurred while updating Kraken Image Optimizer: The update cannot be installed because some files could not be copied. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions. lib, lib/Kraken.php, kraken.php, readme.txt, css, css/admin.css, css/dist, css/dist/kraken.min.css, css/jquery.modal.css, css/tipsy.css, js, js/ajax.js, js/jquery.modal.min.js, js/jquery.tipsy.js, js/dist, js/dist/kraken.min.js, js/async.js
I have 5 or 6 other sites that I use this plugin in and this is the only site that I can’t get it to update, it always says for compatibility as “Unknown”. Not sure if it’s the plugin or the site itself.
Thanks for the help.
]]>Received a warning from my websites telling me that your plugin has been found with a vulnerability… again?
Love your plugin… but… really? Why is it forever being proven to have vulnerabilities? :'(
Please fix? ??

any chance of a fix soon?

]]>Hi,
We are getting the below error after upgrading to PHP 8 from PHP 7.4. We are on WordPress 5.8.1, and Kraken Image Optimizer Version is 2.6.5.
AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/kraken-image-optimizer/kraken.php on line 50',
Appreciate any support.

Hello Karim + Team,
PLEASE HELP.
I am being charged every month for a service that is no longer working as I have reached my 100MB quote limit.
In August 2020, I was switched from Micro Plan $5 pm to a reduced rate of $3.00. Kraken stopped working in my WP websites several months ago.
I found out it’s because I reached my ‘quota limit’.
Since then, I have tried multiple times to contact Kraken by email and via the dashboard ‘support’. Though I get a notice that my request has been received, so far I have not got any replies.
I don’t want to go back to a higher paid plan, so I have tried to cancel my subscription in my dashboard, but, why I try, a message says I am on a free plan and it will not let me. You are still taking payments every month on my card and I am being invoiced, so I am not on a free plan.
I cannot see a way to cancel this subscription or cancel the card, or find any way to be in contact with anyone from Kraken.io to resolve this.
I don’t want to simply close my Kraken account altogether as this would then leave no trace of my payments, and the payments could still keep disappearing from my bank account.
PLEASE CAN YOU HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE?
I just want to stop the payments being taken for a service that is no longer working.
Thank you. Amy Garner

]]>Hello,
have you planned an update wordpress 5.5.1?
Regards
Rainer
This plugin was ok a year ago, but I just got ROBBED by them when I tried upgrading my free plan to a micro monthly plan. They charged my credit card and my account still shows that I have a free plan. I tried contacting them (2 support tickets and 1 email to support) and I received no answer, I cannot delete my credit card info and I do not know what to do.
This is ILLEGAL, THIS PLUGIN MUST BE BANNED because it charges money without offering the premium services and without answering to support tickets!
I installed it.
I did krak them all
and now all images of my website are blank
what can I do to solve the problem ?
Hi there,
We have 15.000 images. I don’t want to go to 600 pages and tick all boxes and click “Crack em all”. You need an interface to simply krak all images without having to select images.
Also, a WP Cli integration would be ideal for a very fast kraking experience.
]]>Hello,
When you change your settings between Lossy & Lossless, will it affect existing images? If not, is it possible to bulk change?
I have 4k+ images but they’re not high enough quality, so want to change from Lossy to Lossless without re-uploading.
Thank you!
]]>I have already posted around 800 photos once on my portfolio website. From now on I only post about 20 photos per month. Why does Kraken not have One time plans? I don’t like the monthly subscriptions. Even the ‘Micro’ subscription ($ 5 per month, 500 MB of images) is too much for me if I only post 20 photos per month.
]]>unfortunately, downloading the zip file does not work properly.
this has already been reported several times but you will not receive an answer.
Hello,
I’m trying to optimize images loaded into media before kraken was installed, but it’s not working.
this is what I do:
1) go to media library
2) set list view (instead of grid view)
3) select one or more images
4) choose “Krak ’em all” from bulk actions menu
5) kraken popup opens, but it says “0 images will be optimized”
this is a screenshot: https://prnt.sc/ji4h9j
WP version 4.9.5
Kraken version 2.6.2
First of all it doesn’t look maintained. Last update 10 month ago, not tested with last 3 major WP releases…. Secondly, the plugin optimises the original image well, but all smaller sizes (defined by add_image_size ) look pretty bad and it seems the quality settings of subsampling and compression are not applied here. No matter what i change in the settings: the ‘large’ size looks the same and even the file-size is almost the same, maybe differs some few kb between ‘lossless’ (looks pretty lossy) and ‘automatic’.
WP 4.9.4
]]>Plugin works very slow last time. It takes from 30sec up to 2min to upload an 200KB image. The screenshot with a browser console. Is it related to Kraken.io API?
]]>Hi!
I have written a script that reads an rss feed and imports the posts.
I also import the thumbnails the following way:
$attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $file, $new_post_id );
require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
$attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $file );
$res1 = wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
$res2 = set_post_thumbnail( $new_post_id, $attach_id );
it worked fine, but then I have installed and swithsched off kraken plugin, and I started to get warnings:

As far as I can see, the optimize thumbnails using the wp_generate_attachment_metadata hook, and that is causing a problem here.
How can I solve this issue?
Thank you!
When uploading images of any size, I’m getting an HTTP error once the upload completes (screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/7WqrLly.png)
Interestingly the image is in fact uploading and optimizing, but this error message is confusing to users.
Could someone look into this please?
]]>As of maybe 3 weeks ago, the Kraken plugin has gotten a lot slower when uploaded images through WordPress. I also noticed that everytime I upload an image, our PHP error log gets a bunch of PHP notices added to it. Pasting them below.
Has anything changed with the plugin? We’re hosted on WPEngine.
All the PHP notices below came from uploading a single image.

]]>Currently the plugin uses it’s own implementation for communicating with the API server. WordPress provides a HTTP API (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/HTTP_API) which in turn provides integration points within the WordPress ecosystem.
]]>“Image Sizes to Krak” shows new sizes enabled even if they actually aren’t.
Steps to reproduce.
1. Go to Kraken settings panel.
2. Check all image sizes and save.
3. Add a new image size using add_image_size() in functions.php.
4. Go back to Kraken settings panel.
5. The new image size is shown enabled even if it actually isn’t.
You can enable the new size by pressing save but this is a bit misleading to the user because the image is shown enabled before it actually is so I’m fairly sure this is a bug and not expected behavior.
This can be fixed by changing one line of code to make sizes disabled by default. There didn’t seem to be up-to-date version of this plugin on GitHub to create a pull request so here’s the necessary change as a patch file:

Hello,
I was wondering if the Kraken optimization settings are applied when images are regenerated using WP CLI’s wp media regenerate
command?
Thank you.
]]>The Kraken plugin has stopped working for me today. It seems like it’s hanging when I try to upload an image – it just sits there for a minute or so, then shows an error message which just says ‘HTTP error’.
We’re hosted with WPEngine, not sure if it could be something to do with the host?
