After update NO more images are displayed!

Just updated and I can confirm that 0.14.1 works on my sites without the issues. No missing bg images.

Thank you for addressing this so fast!

Hello @tdhansen1

Glad to know your issue is resolved.
Thank you for your patience!

No. The problem with the background images has been fixed, but all other images on a page are still not visible (when Lazy Load is enabled).

I switched to a standard theme: Here the images are loaded normally. When I use my theme (which I’ve been using for 7 years), since 0.14.0 no pictures are displayed when Lazy Load is enabled!

Hello @dajanas

Are you still experiencing the same issue with Process HTML image tags?
Thanks!

Yes, you can read it in my previous message: No. The problem with the background images has been fixed, but all other images on a page are still not visible (when Lazy Load is enabled).

When Lazy Load is activated, there is just free space where images should be. The code looks like that:

<img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='https://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20602%20278'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src="https://www.DOMAIN.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/IMAGE.jpg" width="602" height="278">

Every image. I replaced the domain with “DOMAIN” and image file name with “IMAGE”, of course. But as far as I can see, the src=”data:image” is the problem – somehow the data-src=”… is not called, so no image appears.

Everything was fine before 0.14.0 for years! This problem never occoured for the last 7 years.

Hello @dajanas

Thank you for the information.
We are checking this.
Thanks!

What shall I do with my site now – on the one hand I do not want to use uncached pages, on the other hand a website with no images is not so good ?? Why have you even changed the behaviour of lazy loading in the first place?! Everything worked fine before 0.14.0

PS: Every single images just shows data:image/svg+xml… as source when inspecting it with Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

If it can be at any help, I can tell that my images loads fine, on pages, in posts and in woocommerce. So no issues after the fix. Most of my page is build with Elementor and I use the OceanWP theme. (I send you my url earlier via the support in the plugin)

I only had problems with the bg images, which is fixed. And I have the lazy load function activated as well.

It worked fine for 7 years, without any problem. Since 0.14.0 no images shows up anymore. So there must be some change that created this bug.

Update: I tried out to change the “Script Embed Method” from “Async” to “Sync (to head)” and this worked. But I would prefer “Async” – why would “Async” not work? Any guess?

What about the many unnecessary files that have been added to 0.14.1 since the update? Why are they all in the directory now? What can be removed without hesitation? I honestly don’t like to have unnecessary files on the server – I don’t know why they were added.

Hello @dajanas

Sorry for the inconvenience, Yes they can be removed as they are not necessary.
Those files should be automatically deleted and now it’s fixed.
Thank you!

@dajanas The extra files were not removed in the original release of version 0.14.1. We have since removed the files and directories (.editorconfig, .git*, qa). You can clean up your installation by reinstalling the version. One easy way to reinstall the version is to edit the file “wp-content/plugins/w3-total-cache/w3-total-cache.php” to have a lower version number (such as 0.14.0). Once saved, you can go to the WordPress Updates page and perform a plugin update. You may have to click the “Check again” button and/or clear the transients (use WP-CLI command “wp transient delete-all”), or wait for the update to show available.
Alternatively, you can wait until the next release to perform the update.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
