Unable to bulk compress images

    We briefly had both Smush and WP-Optimize active at the same time, but now I have deactivated Smush and want to (re)compress all images so that WebP versions are created.

    I am able to compress one by one from the media library – I am taken to the image edit screen where I see ‘Note: This image is already compressed by another plugin’ but still have the option to compress. It works, and a WebP version is created.

    However, when I try and bulk compress from the WP-Optimize image settings page, I get ‘A total of 1 image(s) were successfully compressed in this iteration. 357 selected image(s) could not be compressed. Please see the logs for more information, you may try again later.’

    In the logs I see:

    [2023-07-17 11:53:18 : DEBUG] - Lock option (updraft_lock_smush, wp_options) already existed in the database
    [2023-07-17 11:53:18 : INFO] - Lock (updraft_lock_smush, wp_options) could not be acquired (it is locked)

    etc etc etc

    Hi,

    Your log says that you tried to launch two processes to close together.

    However, there does appear to be a wider problem at the moment.

    Smush.it is a third party service so I have contacted their support.

    However, we are due to release our own compression service in the the next release of WPO

    I do apologise for the inconvenience.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I just tried to bulk compress the images again, after no attempts since yesterday, and after compressing 3 images it fails:

    [2023-07-18 08:51:22 : INFO] - A total of 162 tasks of type smush found and will be processed in this iteration

    Is this simply due to limitations on the Smush.it server?

    Look forward to trying out your compression service on the next release.

    Mostly, the first bit says that the semaphore lock could not be gained (this means that you retried the compression too quickly.

    However, we are getting quite a few users having issues will bulk compression with the smush.it server so I think you would have been experiencing problems regardless. But, yes this is an issue with smush server which unfortunately we have very little control over.
