Thanks t-p for your reply – I appreciate it. I downloaded the P3 Plugin Performance Profiler and gave it a whirl. It showed consistently that a very large percentage of the download time for a page was taken up by a Google Analytics plugin I was using (over 50%). I have deleted that plugin and added the code directly into my theme now so we can see if that helps!

I tried Bernus’ solution and it worked for me. From a previous thread I have seen that this was supposed to be fixed in the last version but it appears that (almost) the same error has crept back in for the very latest vers 1.3.4.2

Go to plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-metabox.php.
On line 1435 add a forward-slash as below:

old line : if ( preg_match( ‘/alt=(“|\’)(.*?)\1|’, $img, $alt ) )
new line : if ( preg_match( ‘/alt=(“|\’)(.*?)\1/‘, $img, $alt ) )

Exactly the same problem for me too. Not on all pages though, just one so far. I get the following lines of code:

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter ‘/’ found in /home/silvffjw/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/admin/class-metabox.php on line 1435

No worries! I certainly didn’t add it do I guess WP must have done!

Thanks again!

So I gather that WP automatically adds an iFrame whenever I embed a video?

I’ve added your code and it works a treat – thanks so much!

Does this only affect embedded videos?

Yes – there is an area called ‘custom css code’ that already has the following code in it:

p {
margin-bottom:0.5em;
}

#footer {
border-top:0 solid #E8E7E7;
text-align:center;
}

Sorry for being a pain – CSS is something I have trouble understanding.

Thanks Andrew but can you tell me how I implement this code (where do I put it?)

It is correct but the page was private. It should be OK now.

Just so you know. Firstly, my web hosts have said they are going to update my PHP in the next couple of weeks. And secondly, I;ve experimented and resized to 600px prior to upload and it works perfectly!

Thanks Esmi for all of your help!

OK, thanks!

From what I’ve read online this PHP module creates the thumbnails for my post, which is why the full-size versions are unaffected. If I therefore resize my images to 600px wide (the size of my theme) before uploading them then will that alleviate the issue?

If it is something they will have to do could you be kind enough to tell me what the latest version is so that I can get them to fix it.

Many thanks!

Hmmm… How would I go about updating it then? Is it something I can do myself if I have FTP access to my server?

Hi Esmi – thanks so much for your quick reply!

I’ve been in touch with them and they have responded “GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)”. Doesn’t mean much to me to be honest ??

They also gave me this address to check the php versions etc. https://www.silverphotography.co.uk/phpinfo.php
