Some images only show when hovering over

    Hi!

    I’m sure there’ll be a silly solution to this but I just can’t find it.

    Theme: Astra

    There are a couple of pages on the site mentioned where ONLY SOME of the images won’t show until you hover over them. I have checked the settings of such images and don’t see any difference with the rest.

    On the home page, this happens with all images except header image and first image
    On the following page

    [ redundant link removed ]

    it also happens with most images.

    I thought it could be something to do with some lazy load function in plugin WP Super Cache but I can’t see that the plugin has got that function. Plus, why would it make it work only on some images?

    Any idea of why this is happening? Help!
    Thanks in advance
    Esther

  • Hi,

    It’s not because of hovering mouse on the image.

    It is loading on scroll because of lazyload. Even if you will not hover on the image, it will load automatically on the scroll. ??

    Hello Animesh,
    No, it doesn’t when I scroll, that’s the problem! I go right to the bottom of those pages and see no images at all… until I hover my mouse again.

    I will let the topic open to see if somebody can came up with some ideas…

    thank you!!

    Please see this gif: https://gifyu.com/image/nglG

    You can see here I’m not hovering the mouse on images and they are loading perfectly on the scroll.

    Hi again Animesh!

    Thank you so much for taking the time.

    … I’m still not convinced, since I need to stop at certain stages of the height of the page in order to see the images. See, I’m not worried about me, but about the users. I can’t see them doing this as to be able to see the images. They will probably scroll quickly and see there are none, although there are… I don’t know if I’m explaining myself…

    Do you know if the lazy load function might be in my WP Super Cache plugin and where?

    I much appreciate your help

    Hi @esthercoach

    I have found you are using Smush plugin.

    You have enabled lazy load option in this plugin, that’s why your images are loading on the scroll.

    I will not recommend disabling lazy load function because it helps decreases your page load time and in optimizing content delivery.

    Instead, set the Display and Animation option to none in Smush > Lazy Load option.

    See this screenshot tutorial: https://prnt.sc/slkaav

    Images are delaying to appear because in lazy load option of Smush plugin, you have Display and Animation option is active.

    This should help. ??

    Thanks Anismesh!!
    You’re a star!
    It’s still loading with a bit of delay but definitely much better than before! I will keep it with the Display and Animation setting to None.
    Thank you again!
    Esther

    I’m glad I could help. ??

    I had the same issue and Smush was causing it. Thanks Animesh ??

    Hi @abdool7

    You’re very welcome. Have a great day! ??

    Hi Animesh!

    I am having the same issue here, except I am not using the Smush plugin.

    But I recall this started recently after pushing the WordPress update.

    Interestingly, only one image is loading by itself:((

    Can you point something here?

    Cheers!!

    Hi @abdullahshahjada

    Sorry for the late reply.

    In WordPress 5.5, lazy-loading is enabled by default.

    You can find more info here (and how to turn off lazy-loading by default):

    This should help. ??

    Dear @bizanimesh

    Thanks for the reply!!

    Sorry, I didn’t mention it earlier, I am using WordPress 5.6.
    And the issue started since the update.

    The article discussed fr 5.5

    Cheers!!!

    Sorry for the confusion; the lazy-loading feature is available for WordPress 5.5 and all after versions. So it is also available for WordPress 5.6. ??

    I am experiencing a similar issue with product images displaying only on hover. You first see just a blank space.

    I am using Smush and have followed the recommendations earlier in this topic, to no effect.

    You can see the problem at:
    https://www.aonnertrading.com/product/lavender-and-rosemary-oil/

    And also on the Home page of that site.
