Smushing image creates a double slash// in Image URL

Hi @blue_life

I hope you are doing well today.

I have made a test on my lab site with and without CDN/local WebP features enabled and I could not replicate this issue in srcset value.

Would you please run a conflict test? Please deactivate all plugins except Smush and check if the problem is gone (upload the image again and again to some test post/page). If so, then enable all plugins one by one and find which one is having a conflict. If there is no positive result, switch to the default WordPress theme like 2019, and see if it works. Before this test, we recommend full site backup or running this test on the staging site.

Kind Regards,
Kris

HI and thank you for your quick reply !

You’re right, sorry I should have proceed first with this. Disabled plugins was the same //.
SO Switched to Twenty-Three : The // disappears.
The guilty is : the theme NEVE. Great one but this is a first.
Consider my thread closed.
With my apologies to Smushit team.
Cheers and happy coding !

ATTN UPDATE : It’s not only NEVE. I just tested on another website I manage ( with another theme – Authentic ) ( and still with Smushit Version 3.13.2?) The same occurs.
no // before smush
// after smush

I’m going crazy.
What could it be ? I never had that before

Hello @blue_life,

Thank you for the feedback, I was able to replicate the same issue, which looks like a bug. We have reported this to the developers, so they’ll be looking into this further.

Since servers and browsers usually treat // as / in URLs, in certain cases it may not be a big issue to leave it as is.

However, since the affected Smush versions are newer than 3.13.0, you can temporarily install Smush 3.13.0, and use this version for now, until it’s fixed in future releases:

Please note, that we don’t have ETA for the fix, but you can check the recent changelog on the Development tab for keeping track.

Best Regards,
Dmytro

Hi @blue_life

I’m afraid I don’t have update on that yet. I checked and I see it’s an “active issue” meaning it’s under investigation and there’s no release date/version determined yet.

Please keep an eye on changelog and once it’s addressed you should see information similar to “FIX: Extra slash characters in scrset…” included in changelog so you’ll know then that it is addressed.

Kind regard,
Adam
