Sorry the plugin didn’t work out for you. Could you post a link to your theme’s page on WordPress? I’d like to try and troubleshoot it on my own site, but I can’t find the “Newspaper Theme” in the WordPress theme directory.

Ok. We’ll, I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot if you want.

Can you provide me a link to your site so I can investigate?

Inside the <img> tag referenced above. So it would look like:

echo '<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" data-src="' . $thumbnail[0] .'" alt="'. $alt_text .'"/>';

I’m going to mark this resolved, unless I hear otherwise from you. Hopefully that fixes the problem.

It looks like your theme is using a custom function to echo the HTML for the thumbnails. (See lines 106-133 in ‘include/plugin/portfolio-item.php’ in the files you provided me). Since it’s not using the standard WordPress function to echo the thumbnail, there’s no way for my plugin to filter it.

If you want to edit the theme files yourself (don’t do this if you’re not comfortable doing so), editing line 113 in that file ought to do the trick. Change
echo '<img src="' . $thumbnail[0] .'" alt="'. $alt_text .'"/>';
to
echo '<img data-src="' . $thumbnail[0] .'" alt="'. $alt_text .'"/>';

Additionally, you might want to include
src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7"
so that the HTML validates, as <img> tags require a src element to be valid HTML. (That sets the image to an inline 1x1px transparent gif.)

Sure, that’d be fine. If you want to just zip up your entire theme and send it over, that would probably be best, as it would allow me a deeper look into what’s going on. Send them to: lazyloadxtwordpress [at] gmail [dot] com

Send me the names and versions of those plugins, and I’ll investigate. Also send me the version of WP you’re on.

Hmmm. Yeah, the option for “post thumbnails” was what I was referring to.

I looked at the HTML on your site, and I see that the portfolio page is a page that uses the standard page template. If that’s the case, how is your portfolio being loaded? Are you using a plugin or shortcodes of some sort to generate the archive of portfolio pieces?

Additionally, check the settings page for Lazy Load XT and ensure that lazy loading featured images is enabled.

Hmm. A couple of questions:

1) What version of Lazy Load XT are you using? – Featured images didn’t added until v0.2. If you’re still on v0.1, please upgrade
2) How images being called by your theme? Are you using the_post_thumbnail() or some other method?

Just released v 0.2 and incorporated your feedback. Thanks!

Just released v 0.2 and incorporated your feedback. Thanks!

I appreciate the testing. Glad it’s working for ya.

The minimizing function doesn’t minify any other javascript files on your site. It just loads minified version of the Lazy Load XT js and css instead of the full development versions. For instance, it loads jquery.lazyloadxt.min.js instead of jquery.lazyloadxt.js.

If you run into any trouble, let me know. I think I’ve got 0.2 about wrapped and ready to release early next week.

I’m still working on the settings when installing/upgrading. There’s a chance that when I finally do release a future version that saved/default settings will get overwritten by what’s in the current dev version. Then again, that’s going to be true anyway until I feel the plugin is ready for v1.0.

I don’t anticipate any problems, I just wanna add that disclaimer.
