Imported SVGs not supported

  • If I import SVGs with the WP All Import plugin, the files downloaded into the Media Library via XPath don’t appear to be processed by this plugin. The resulting files don’t have visible thumbnails in the media library (despite being valid SVGs when visited directly), and they cannot be selected as a value in ACF Image fields where the image format has been restricted to “svg” in the Validation settings.

    It’s unclear to me if this is a flaw in the SVG Support plugin, or in WP All Import (or in my configuration of either).

    Thanks for sharing. I’ll do some testing with this setup asap and see if I can tell what’s going on.

    Thank you! Let me know if you need more specific repro steps!

    I believe this is handled entirely in wp all import.

    but I could potentially run a check on imports using it to handle sanitization.

    I’ve actually had similar issues before because SVG isn’t standard in the media library, importing them isn’t handled as normal (if I remember correctly).

    It would be cool to get my plugin to process SVG files that were imported that way though, so I’ll look at what it takes and see if I can add that feature.

    I’ve added some code that may or may not work, as I don’t have a recent version of wp all import to test with right now. so I added some new functionality that hopefully will work in v 2.5.8, but I have it commented out for now. You would need to manually uncomment the includes in the main plugin file to enable it and test. but no guarantees until I can test it well myself.
    I’ll be pushing the 2.5.8 update asap.

    Gotcha! I’ll try it out when it’s released, and report back!

    I just pushed out 2.5.8 with this experimental integration in it. would love to know how it goes.
    I’ll get myself a copy of the latest wp all import and do some more testing asap.
    I’m actually going on a charity rally for a couple of weeks so I just did as much as possible before that.
    But I’ll be back into it as soon as I get back.
