Request/Help Customization

Hi @rtm125,

Glad to hear you like the plugin. Regarding Auto Compression there is already an option to disable in the plugin side under Smush > Dashboard > Bulk Smush > Automatic compression. The same would go for image resizing.

However, by default, these settings work when images are uploaded via Media Library. I’m afraid, it’ll require custom coding which is outside our support scope to change this behaviour as it entirely depends upon the contact form you use and how it uploads the images.

Could we know which exact contact form are you using? To have a better idea if there is anything that could be suggested.

The following hook should help with removing auto compression when implemented. You could bring the hook into your contact forms supports attention to see whether it could be implemented in the plugin side or not:

remove_action( 'wp_async_wp_generate_attachment_metadata', array( '\Smush\Core\Modules\Smush', 'wp_smush_handle_async' ) );

I hope this helps. Looking forward to your response.

Kind Regards,
Nithin

I am using formidable forms. Currently it does auto compress and resize images uploaded by the users on the forms before attaching them to the email out. It works great. What I don’t want to happen is have the plugin resize or compress anything else on the site. So I am more worried about automated functions of the plugin.

Hi @rtm125,

Thanks for clarifying your expected result. Currently, the auto compression and resized you have on the contact forms attachments is done by the feature from Smush or is this something done by a setting from the form plugin or different one?

As mentioned before, trying to set up the plugin to only compress and resize upon upload from just the contact form and not the default behavior of upload via media library will require custom code that is outside our scope.

One alternative would be to use our Smush Pro version and then use CDN which also resizes images automatically. However, these are not done with images uploaded via media library as it will resize them while being requested on pages since the images would be served over our CDN.

it is done by your plugin allready idk why or how but it does successfully grab user uploads and resizes and compresses them before attaching to the email out. Which is exactly what I need it to do. I allready manually compress all the images on the site before uploading them, so I don’t need it to scan and resize images on it’s own. If that makes sense.

Hi @rtm125,

When you mention that it already does this automatically, do you currently have the option under Smush > Dashboard > Bulk Smush > Automatic compression enabled?

Yes, I just set the image size to be big enough to not resize anything I care about for now. I do have a question though. Is the 5mb limit you guys talk about with Pro meaning anything under 5mb won’t be resized/compressed?

Hi @rtm125

Thank you for the screenshot.

The resize is a native WordPress function:

Smush will filter this value and set your configured one, WordPress will create a new original file usually less than 5MB which will Smush without any issue.
