Smush does not crop images

    Smush no longer resizes images when I add them through the media library, on all new images added I get the message 'Skipped: Image is already optimized'. Looking at the default configuration I saw this:

    Bulk Smush Smush Mode
    Super
    Auto Compression
    Active
    Metadata
    Active

    By default it doesn't resize images?
    How can I enable this feature?

    Hi @andermist,

    I hope you are doing well today!

    Please take a backup if you can and try resetting the plugin settings.
    https://wpmudev.com/docs/wpmu-dev-plugins/smush/#reset-factory-settings

    After that, please recheck images on Bulk Smush and run smushing again. Let us know if the issue persists.

    Kind regards,
    Zafer

    Hello @wpmudevsupport15, I reset the plugin settings, but nothing changed. I also changed the php version for testing and the plugin worked normally, is there a problem with php version 8.1.29 since in version 7.4 it works perfectly?

    Hi @andermist

    Thanks for the update.

    Let me explain how Smush would work.

    By default, WordPress resize all images larger than 2500px to 2500px https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/2019/10/09/introducing-handling-of-big-images-in-wordpress-5-3/

    Smush > Bulk Smush > Image resize allows you to control that value or even disable it.

    Smush won’t create new image sizes, WordPress also handle it out of the box and plugins + themes can add new image sizes: https://wpmudev.com/blog/wordpress-image-sizes/

    Smush will only compress / optimize the images, but it is done on our server not on your sever, though having the GD or other relevant image PHP libraries missing can cause some issues in the process.

    Do you see any issues in WordPress > Tools > Site health?

    If you see for example “PHP extension missing”

    An additional note, the “Skipped: Image is already optimized” is not an actual issue, it just means the Smush > Bulk Smush > Selected Bulk Smush Smush Mode can’t compress further that image.

    Let us know if everything looks good in the WordPress site health for PHP 8.1.

    Is it also possible to share the URL for 2-3 images that says “Skipped: Image is already optimized” so we can try to compress it on our lab site?

    Best Regards

    Hello @wpmudevsupport12, thank you very much for your help, following your tips I discovered that the GD image was missing, fixing this, everything went back to normal, so the problem was not in the plugin, but in my php configuration.
    Thanks again
