Hi,
We are using your external images plugin alongside WP ALL import.
We store our woocommerce product images in an AWS storage bucket, We correctly import the products in with the correct external images custom field all images show up just fine.
However we have also activated jetpack to resize and serve the product images from their CDN, however the main large product image is still getting served from our AWS bucket, this is no good as the images are huge and we want jetpack to optimise and serve via its CDN.
We have a customised table on the product page, which also shows each product variant as a thumbnail… these images ARE being served from the jetpack CDN.. but the main image is NOT.
Here is an example product page.. but all products suffer the same issue
https://mark-stag-uk.garment.positive-dedicated.net/product/balance-racerback-singlet-black-b-xs/
The category page also works correctly and serves from the jetpack CDN.
https://mark-stag-uk.garment.positive-dedicated.net/shop
In our WP ALL import file there is only one field for the product image, so the main product image is using exactly the same custom field and data source mapping as all the variation products.
Please can you take a look as its vital to have jetpack / CDN support for us.
Thanks, and feel free to ask me any questions you may have

Hi Any update? Thanks

This is because in the code there is a check to see if the requested image is a fullsize image. I’d presumed resizing was only for other images, I hadn’t foreseen this use of Photon as a CDN.
I’ve removed this check from the beta version of External Images version 2.53 – please can you download this from your account area, upload it and test it on your dev site?

I deleted the old plugin, installed the beta version you told me about. At first i thought it was working, but i think i must have looked at the wrong bit of source code. It appears it is still loading the image from AWS rather than photon CDN like the rest of the images do.
I even deleted a test product and ran my WP-ALL import profile again with the new plugin installed.
here is an example product

Any update, it still appears to be using the non CDN url for the main product image?
Cheers

I’m using the latest version of the plugin 2.53 but the main image is not getting served via photo CDN, the others are.
please advise?

please can someone advise, I updated the plugin weeks ago, but the problem in my original post above is still happening.. We need the main product image to use the jetpack CDN rather than pulling it from AWS.
If this is not possible then i’ll have to switch to a different plugin (i’d prefer to keep using this one though really)
