2. clicking on an image in media library, and selecting show image doesn’t work.
Actually, it does work when select show image. The thing i meant earlier was when i click show page where the image was located, it didn’t show, but that is only because i didn’t attach the image to any post yet. So i think that is normal behavior.
Anyway, since i get no indication if smush.it is doing anything, the only way i could test if it did smush, was to upload the image, then once done, save the uploaded file back to my pc. Then compare file size. I noticed a file size reduction for the same dimensions, hence smush it is working.
However someone reported that the smush.it plugin didn’t work for 1mb + files, so i tested with a 1.3 MB file, and no file size savings were made.
I then tested smushing it on the yahoo smush website, and it managed to smush the file to get a reduced size. So why can’t the plugin do that ?
In assessment, although it would be great using the wp-smush.it plugin to auto smush files; it gives no clear indication if it is smushing the image or not, unless you trust/believe that anything below 1mb will be smushed without having to re-check to confirm that.
Also the plugin does not allow smushing previously already uploaded images.
So my conclusion is, that until the plugin adds in a clear indicator like whether it managed to smush, a file size % reduction indicator at the minimum; then i rather just use the yahoo website to do my smushing.
It has the potential to be a top10 must have plugin for wordpress, but it needs to be fixed up to make it so.
Like i said, at the moment i can’t justify using this plugin over the yahoo smush site for now.
