"must be within the content directory "

Hello there. The plugin is currently being rebuilt.
Until that is finished I would suggest you use a previous version.
To do so you can simply go here and download version 1.6.2 until this issue is resolved.

Thanks!

Hi

Where can I download 1.6.2?

Thanks,

Hi

Still getting same error ??
Isn’t it due to Win NT server?

Thanks,
Houmaan

@houmaan

let me get back to our team and get a definitive answer on this for you.

Cheers

I’m having the same issue on a NT machine as well and thought this might help narrow down the issue…

In my case the error message is referring to the path “E:inetpubvs239227/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/….”

There is a / missing between “E:inetpub” and “vs239227”, so the correct path to my uploads should be “E:inetpub/vs239227/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/….”

Could the invalid path value be causing the plugin/API to give these errors?

Hi @houmaan & @kja79a

Sorry about the delay here, but a few days ago one of our developers officially took over WP Smush.it and has just released version 1.6.5.1 which addresses a few problems including this one.

Could you both try it out and see how it does?

Thanks Mike.
I’ll give it a try and let you know.

I also realised in my previous reply that there were TWO missing slashes “/” in the invalid path, which should have read “E:/inetpub/vs239227/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/….”

Or perhaps all the forward slashes should be backslashes for the Windows path??

Hi @kja79a

I’m afraid I don’t know how it should be on a Windows server, however I do know that 1.6.5.1 addresses paths so this may well be fixed.

Please let us know how your testing goes.

Hi @mike,

Updated but still get same error.
Thanks,

Hi @houmaan

Ok thanks for reporting back, I’ve notified the developer to see if he can look into this.

Thanks!

@mike,
No luck for me either, still the same error message with the same problem of missing slashes in the file path.

@kja79a

Ok thank you, this will be a hard one to fix as the developer doesn’t have a windows server to test on. So he can only try things, and we’ll need people like yourself to test if that’s ok ??

Can either of you try this beta of 1.6.5.2, it should fix the path issues. and report back.

Thanks.

The problem is solved to some extend. Means that I do not get the same error message but it could not smush all my images. Simply the connection is restarted! My website is photography website and I have lots of images. I found out it smushed some on the top of the list but not all the images.

Thanks.
