Stopped working after WP 4.4

Same here. All images load right away no matter where the view port is.

UPDATE…If I choose “Load in header”…it works.
But using Avada theme with a youtube video shortcode, the video preview image is not lazy loading.

Hi XhmikosR

I have look on your site and i have view source of image at bottom of site, i see the image with src is lazy_placeholder.gif, not real image, when i scroll to bottom to that image, at that time the image is loading by lazy load and src is changed to real image, see the screenshot to see that https://gyazo.com/c77fabc6b91ba6e999f5517aec02546b

I’m thinking the new feature Responsive Images of WP 4.4 is asking the browser load another image not from src attribute and it’s cause, we will have look and support for srcset attribute from WP 4.4

Hi, Ngugen.

Thanks for looking into it. I’m waiting for a solution but in the meantime I switched to BJ Lazy Loader. I prefer a3 lazy load, although I do believe it should be smarter with its styles so that it doesn’t result in an extra HTTP request, but that’s already reported https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/question-about-the-included-css

Thanks!

What I noticed today is that Internet Explorer 10 and 11 works fine :S

Another approach to temporarily work around this is to disable the 4.4 srcset functionality. https://www.zigpress.com/2015/12/11/how-to-disable-responsive-images-in-wordpress-4-4/ describes how to do that. And https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/is-it-possible-to-disable-the-responsive-image-srcset-on-wordpress-44?replies=19 a plugin created for that (in case you don’t want to change your functions.php).

I added the code snippet described for functions.php, and now a3 works with 4.4 as it did in 4.3. I’ll remove this code once a3 resolves the srcset issue.

Hello Christee, XhmikosR, Themadproducer

Firstly apologies that it has taken us 1 week to sort out this bug. We maintain 92 plugins (only 19 of those are Free plugins) and we have been a bit snowed under with testing and upgrading all of those.

We have just spent an entire day working on the issues that lazy load was having with WordPress 4.4 – they are quiet complicated.

As a result we have just pushed out Maintenance Update version 5.1.2 which has 2 Code Tweaks and 2 bug fixes that should fix all of the issues you have been having with WP 4.4 and Lazy Load.

Here is a link to the changelog so you can see what we have done.

We have tested the fix in all major Legacy Browsers, Tablet and mobile and all appears to be working well.

Please upgrade to the new version and see if it fixes the issues you where having with WP 4.4 and lazy load. Any feedback after you do that would be appreciated.

Regards and Merry Christmas

Thanks for the fix. It now appears to work again!

@steve and the a3rev Team

Thanks so much for the hard dedicated work.
Seems to work great in 2 WP4.4 sites that I quickly tested.

One possible issue prevailing with the SPINNER effect.
My logo, which floats over my green header area, seems to load slow and the spinner shows for a second or so. The problem is that the spinner has a white background. Is it supposed to be white or transparent?

Cheers
Anthony

Hi Themadproducer

If you want to load it faster before it show on viewport, you can set the value for Threshold to 100 or 200 px

Or if you want to change the white background to transparent, you can manual enter value ‘transparent’ into color value, the color picker don’t have support for select transparent but you can manual to enter it

See my screenshot to see the value i entered https://i.gyazo.com/4b80e3b95d26eb8bb49bbcffca0d8159.png

Wow! I did not expect an update until after the first of the year. 1.5.2 works great in conjunction with WP 4.4 srcset.

Thank you so much for the great plugin and excellent support. And happy holidays!

Hi All

I wish you have a Merry Christmas.

If actual you see it’s great plugin, don’t hate it and give it good feedback on Reviews

@nguyen

thanks for your fast reply.
I cannot believe I did not see the transparency option.
Sorry, I am usually much more thorough.

Cheers
