Hi roadchild,

Looks like you’re running PHP 4 — WP Smush.it is designed for PHP 5. A PHP 4-compatible version is forthcoming; hang tight.

Hi Fink,

Looks like you’re running PHP 4. WP Smush.it is designed for PHP 5 — a version for PHP 4 is forthcoming.

Cheers,

Alex

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. Try it out and let us know how you make out.

Hi Vadi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll put it on the list…

Out of curiosity, how many images do you have in your backlog?

Alex

Check out the new version, WP Smush.it 1.2, it should resolve your problems.

Hey Herudea,

The fopen error means just what it says: your PHP settings don’t allow using fopen to post to Smush.it (or any other site).

I’ve got a new version you’re welcome to help test that takes care of this. E-mail me and I’ll send you a copy: code [AT] dunae [dot] CA

I just ran into this and thought I’d post my resolution for posterity.

Our client’s host had a mod_security rule that matched on =http.

Going to
example.com/wp-admin/
redirects you to
example.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https://...
triggering a 403 Forbidden status from mod_security.

To work around it, add the following to your the top of your .htaccess.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^redirect_to=http
RewriteRule ^wp-login.php https://example.com/wp-login.php? [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Try adding something like this in your theme’s functions.php. It will add first and last classes to the list items.

add_filter('wp_list_pages','wp_list_pages_add_first_last');

function wp_list_pages_add_first_last($content) {
	$content = preg_replace('/li class\=\"/', 'li class="first ', $content, 1);
	$content_rev = strrev($content);
	$content_rev = preg_replace('/\"\=ssalc il/', ' tsal"=ssalc il', $content_rev, 1);
	return strrev($content_rev);

}

It appears that you already have PEAR’s JSON library open, which I include as a fallback for PHP 4 users.

I’ve just uploaded a fix (v. 1.1.3) that checks for the JSON library before trying to include its own copy. Let me know if it works for you.

New version out now, allows manual smushing of old posts.

Hi all,

Things are back in business (see https://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/exceptional-performance/message/646).

@shane: if Smush.it starts stripping exif info I’ll look in to making that feature optional. For now, lossless savings for all!

Cheers,

Alex

Smush.it is definitely having some issues. Even their demo URLs (e.g. https://smush.it/ws.php?img=https://smush.it/css/skin/logo.png) aren’t working.

Hi guys,

There seems to be a problem with the main Smush.it service right now — I’ve seen reports around the web to that effect. I’ll take a look and see what’s going on.

Re: old images, that’s a great suggestion. Watch for an update in the next few days hopefully.

@shaneholden — what is it you’d like to keep in your gallery photos. Smush.it is lossless, so you’re not losing any quality. It just re-organizes the bits to be more efficient. AFAIK it isn’t even stripping meta data at the moment.

Found my own answer: WP_CONTENT_URL and WP_CONTENT_DIR
