Images not optimizing

it created a new debug log file but it is blank.

odd.. are you getting any errors while it scans?

I’m not seeing any errors.

I wonder if we have some ‘options’ that are stuck. Let’s wipe these out in the database under wp_options:
ewww_image_optimizer_bulk_resume
ewww_image_optimizer_aux_resume
ewww_image_optimizer_scanning_attachments
ewww_image_optimizer_bulk_attachments

That’s essentially doing a manual reset on the bulk process to make sure it starts scanning from the very beginning. The image results are tracked in the wp_ewwwio_images table, so it will still skip anything it finds in there.

ewww_image_optimizer_scanning_attachments does not seem to exist. The 3 other tables are blank/empty in the database.

Any update on this issue??

At the moment I’m a bit stumped without being able to see any more detail. The empty debug log is really strange, because there are three different places where it should log to the file at some point.

Soon as I figure out what else we can try, I’ll let you know.

What would happen if I deactivated the plugin, deleted it then reinstalled?

not much, but what you can try is this:
1. run an empty/truncate on the ewwwio_images table
2. run a bulk scan and then optimize, which will re-optimize everything

If that doesn’t do it, then I’d really be puzzled. It ought to be possible to figure out the glitch if I could do some debugging on it, but I don’t know if you’re comfortable with me mucking about on your site. If you want to: https://ewww.io/contact-us/

I have searched all through the options table and can’t find anything that starts with ewwio nor anything that says “table”

Nevermind, I found it. It wasn’t in the options table.

Ran the scan to identify the images that need to be optimized after dropping the contents of the table. It originally said 50k images to scan but once complete, it is saying that 347k need to be optimized. There is no way I have 347,000 images.

Go ahead and run them all through the bulk process, in lossless mode they should pretty much all come back ‘no savings’, but this way we’ll know for sure.

Just edited my last reply. scan said 50k to optimize but once I started the scan, it says it has completed xx out of 347,000 images. There is no way I have that many images.

With 50k to scan, 347k is not surprising. One would expect a minimum of 250k, because WordPress generates 3-4 resizes per image by defaultand your theme and other plugins could have easily added more resizes. With 50k images, than means an average of 6 resizes per upload. Again, that’s totally normal, I’ve seen 20-30 resizes per image on some sites.
