Wopisanje

Square Thumbnails creates perfect square thumbnails from your images without cropping them. Instead of cutting off parts of your images, it intelligently fits the entire image within a square frame, similar to how CSS background-size: contain works.

I’ve successfully implemented the two requested features for Square Thumbnails version 2.3.0:

  1. JPEG Quality Control
  • Added a new setting to control JPEG compression quality (60-100%, default 90%)
  • This allows users to balance between image quality and file size
  • The setting is applied when saving JPEG images after processing
  1. Selective Size Processing
  • Added the ability to choose which image sizes should be processed as square thumbnails
  • Displays all registered image sizes with their dimensions
  • WooCommerce sizes are highlighted in purple and shown first for easy identification
  • Added quick selector buttons:
    • Select All
    • Select None
    • Select WooCommerce Only
    • Select WordPress Default

  • If no sizes are selected, all sizes will be processed (backward compatible)

    Additional improvements:

  • Enhanced the settings page layout with two new sections

  • Updated JavaScript to handle the new settings
  • Added proper validation and sanitization for new options
  • Improved logging to show which sizes are being skipped

  • Created comprehensive changelog and documentation

    The plugin now offers much more granular control over thumbnail generation, which is especially useful for
    WooCommerce stores that want to optimize performance by only processing the sizes they actually use.

Плагин шикарный

Отличный плагин. Очень выручает, работает как часы. Огромное спасибо автору что обновил его до новой версии.

Beautiful, it simply works. Needs to become Woocommerce core feature

12. měrca 2020
Like the title says. Might be confusing if you go back to the media page after the ‚Regenerate thumbnails‘ plugin processes the image and you find the thumbnails unchanged – it simply needs a refresh of the page to see changes. Woocommerce please make this plugin a part of it’s core installation.

You saved me! thank

This plug is perhaps one of a kind. I have been looking for a solution to my problem for a long time when importing files. And when I was almost desperate, I found the name of your plugin on one forum. You were like a ray of hope, like a Christmas miracle. Your plug-in millet is a gift of fate. He works flawlessly and does what is required of him. Developer, your plugin should be easier to find. You would save even more lives.
