Bulk Optimizer not able to write to files

    I’m using the most recent version of EWWW Image Optimizer and tried to do a bulk optimize (in the ‘optimize everything else’ section I’m pressing the ‘scan and optimize’ button). The images that it tries to optimize, it fails and says that it couldn’t write to the file. I’m not really a tech person, but I had someone check and the folder that it is in has writable permissions, but the file itself is not writable…is there some setting or something I need to change?

    Here is the debug code from one of the images I’m trying to bulk optimize: https://pastebin.com/EjXBi7i8
    Here is the debug code from the app itself: https://pastebin.com/nRrGxS6f

    The other issue is that some of the images say that they are previously optimized (though Google PageSpeed still says that they should be optimized). Is it possible that this issue is related to the first, or is it a configuration setting that is causing this? If the latter, do you have a guide to the best practice optimization settings or commonly used settings?

    permissions can be set on every individual file, on unix/linux they cannot be inherited, but you can set them recursively, so you probably need to recursively set the permissions on that whole themes folder. It should generally all be writable anyway, otherwise theme installs/updates will be broken.

    The second issue could be related, but it shouldn’t be. If the optimizer throws an error, it should not prevent the image from being re-optimized. At any rate, you can use the Show Optimized Images button to allow you to browse and remove the status of any previously optimized images.

    I’ve updated my tutorial videos in preparation for the pending 2.0 release, but haven’t published them yet. They are a bit lengthy, but you can watch them for some more information on getting the most out of the plugin:
