Media library in thumbnail gallery loops endlessly

  • I was using this plugin and it worked beautifully but in the past month or two I have issues. When I go into the media library gallery (list mode works file) it loops endlessly. I can see on my VPS that optipng is running constantly but even when it stops the images don’t show up.

    I have a test site up that you are welcome to access to help debug the issue if you want. Just use the contact form on my main site (htpcguides.com) and I’ll grant you access.

    Would really like to resolve this because the thumbnails for my related posts have been hard cropped instead of soft cropped since this issue arose.

    I have identified the conflict, disabling EWWW Image Optimizer resolves the issue. However, I still feel like OTF shoudld not be trying to regenerate thumbnails unnecessarily.

    I have an update from the EWWW plugin author:

    Indeed it does seems to loop for quite a while, and the reason is that OTF is generating fresh thumbnails for all the images in the media library when you view it… the result is that EWWW also optimizes those images when they are generated.
    I don’t think OTF used to do that in the Media Library, but it does now. The grid view will also load eventually, just like the list, but it takes longer, because there are generally more images being viewed in grid view. Not sure there is anything I can do on my end to prevent that, a simple check for is_admin() in OTF would probably take care of things.

    +1

    I can confirm this. It would be great if OTF Regenerate Thumbnails could add the simple is_admin() check
