These errors are usually caused by the file in question being blocked by some security setting on the server, or (rarely) by caching issues or wrong permissions.
The first step to debug this is to try to access the file directly in the browser (i.e. copy the URL and paste in the browser and press Enter).
If you see the file (that’s usually minified JS, so it is all on one line) chances are it was some sort of caching issue that is now resolved. Try using the editor again.
If you see an HTTP error (like 403 or 500) best would be to contact your web hosting company for help. In some cases deleting and re-installing the plugin may help.
Please see the new (as of version 5.2.0) advanced settings for tables. It is possible to disable use of inline styles for tables but that would make the table non-resizable in the editor. If the advanced tabs on the table, row, and column dialogs are enabled (default), it will still be possible to enter width and height values which are set as inline styles.
These styles are imported from your current theme editor-style.css file. However some themes do not have this functionality. For these themes Advanced Editor Tools has the option to let you add a customized editor-style.css and import it into the editor.
Change some buttons on one of the toolbars, save your changes, clear your browser cache, and try again. If that does not work try reloading the Edit page several times while holding down Shift. There may also be a network cache somewhere between you and your host. You may need to wait for a few hours until this cache expires.
The “Emoticons” button in TinyMCE adds the codes for the smilies. The actual images are added by WordPress when viewing the Post. Make sure the checkbox “Convert emoticons to graphics on display” in “Options – Writing” is checked.
Make sure the “Disable the visual editor when writing” checkbox under “Users – Your Profile” is not checked.
Re-save the settings or click the “Restore Default Settings” button on the plugin settings page and then set the buttons again and save.

Clean up your WordPress website’s HTTPS insecure content and mixed content warnings. Installing the SSL Insecure Content Fixer plugin will solve most insecure content warnings with little or no effort. The remainder can be diagnosed with a few simple tools.
When you install SSL Insecure Content Fixer, its default settings are activated and it will automatically perform some basic fixes on your website using the Simple fix level. You can select more comprehensive fix levels as needed by your website.
WordPress Multisite gets a network settings page. This can be used to set default settings for all sites within a network, so that network administrators only need to specify settings on sites that have requirements differing from the network defaults.
See the SSL Insecure Content Fixer website for more details.

Privacy
SSL Insecure Content Fixer does not collect any personally identifying information, and does not set any cookies.
";s:12:"installation";s:605:"- Either install automatically through the WordPress admin, or download the .zip file, unzip to a folder, and upload the folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory. Read Installing Plugins in the WordPress Codex for details.
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
If your browser still reports insecure/mixed content, have a read of the Cleaning Up page.
";s:3:"faq";s:4446:"
Look in your web browser’s error console.
- Google Chrome has a JavaScript Console in its developer tools
- FireFox has the Web Console or Firebug
- Internet Explorer has the F12 Tools Console
- Safari has the Error Console
NB: after you open your browser’s console, refresh your page so that it tries to load the insecure content again and logs warnings to the error console.
Why No Padlock? has a really good online test tool for diagnosing HTTPS problems.
You are probably loading content (such as images) with a URL that starts with “http:”. Take that bit away, but leave the slashes, e.g. //www.example.com/image.png; your browser will load the content, using HTTPS when your page uses it. Better still, replace “http:” with “https:” so that it always uses https to load images, e.g. https://www.example.com/image.png.
If your page can be used outside a web browser, e.g. in emails or other non-web documents, then you should always use a protocol and it should probably be “https:” (since you have an SSL certificate). See Cleaning up content for more details.
If your website is behind a load balancer or other reverse proxy, and WordPress doesn’t know when HTTPS is being used, you will need to select the appropriate HTTPS detection settings. See my blog post, WordPress is_ssl() doesn’t work behind some load balancers, for some details.
You are probably behind a reverse proxy — see the FAQ above about load balancers / reverse proxies, and run the SSL Tests from the WordPress admin Tools menu.
You probably have a conflict with another plugin that is also trying to fix HTTPS detection. Add this line to your wp-config.php file, above the lines about ABSPATH. You can then change this plugin back to default settings before proceeding.
define('SSLFIX_PLUGIN_NO_HTTPS_DETECT', true);
Post about it to the support forum, and be sure to include a link to the page. Posts without working links will probably be ignored.
Great! Tell me which plugin is yours and how to check for your new version, and I’ll drop the “fix” from my next release.

THE TOP RATED WORDPRESS SECURITY AND FIREWALL PLUGIN
All-in-One Security (AIOS) is a WordPress security plugin from the same, trusted team that brought you UpdraftPlus.
It’s called ‘All-In-One’ because it’s packed full of ways to keep your WordPress website(s) safe and secure.
It includes:
Login security features keep bots at bay. Lock out users based on a configurable number of login attempts, get two-factor authentication and more.
File and database security. Get notified of file changes that occur outside of normal operations. Block access to key files and scan files and folders to spot insecure permissions.
Firewall. Get PHP, .htaccess and 6G firewall rules courtesy of Perishable Press. Spot and block fake Google Bots and more!
Spam prevention. Prevent annoying spam comments and reduce unnecessary load on the server. Automatically and permanently block IP addresses that exceed a set number of spam comments.
Audit log. View events happening on your WordPress website. Find out if a plugin or theme has been added, removed, updated and more.
WHY ALL-IN-ONE SECURITY?
AIOS has a near-perfect 4.7 / 5-star user rating across more than 1 million installs.
Great for beginners and experts alike. AIOS guides you logically and clearly through each of its features which are all clearly explained. Security features are marked as basic, intermediate and advanced. Each step increases your security score. Turn them on and watch your protection grow!
We have a large support team of software developers. That means we have the availability and the skillset to help you with the trickiest of queries.
We comb the WordPress plugin directory for support tickets daily – most queries are responded to within 24 hours.
Excellent plugin with numerous well-thought-out options for making a website more secure. I have been using it for years and am very happy with it. I recently had a small problem setting up a website and – even as a non-premium user – I received support very quickly. Highly recommended!
For even more ways to stay safe and secure, upgrade to AIOS Premium – it packs a punch security-wise, whilst being extremely cost-competitive.
LOGIN SECURITY
Two-factor authentication (TFA) – Require TFA for specific user roles. Supports Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, and many more.
Detect and manage ‘admin’ usernames – Identify default ‘admin’ usernames and guide users to change them to protect against brute force attacks.
Identify and correct identical login and display names – Detect cases where the display name matches the username and provide guidance to improve login security.
Prevent user enumeration – Block unauthorised access to URLs that can reveal sensitive information such as usernames or other details.
Control login attempts – Prevent brute force attacks by limiting the number of failed login attempts. Choose how many login attempts are allowed, set lockout durations, and more.
Force user logout – Automatically log out users after a specified period of time. Unattended sessions are closed, reducing the risk of unauthorised access.
Manually approve new registrations – Review and approve new user registrations to prevent spam and fake sign-ups.
Enhance WordPress salt security – Adds 64 extra characters to WordPress salts, rotating them weekly. Makes cracking passwords virtually impossible, even if your database is stolen.
Plugin Support
- If you have a question or problem with the All-In-One Security plugin, post it on the support forum and we will help you. Premium customers can log queries directly with the team via https://teamupdraft.com/all-in-one-security/
Monitor and manage active sessions – If a user is logged in who shouldn’t be, log them out or add them to a blacklist.
SPAM PREVENTION
Block spam coming from bots – Reduce the load on your server and improve the user experience by automatically blocking spam comments from bots.
Monitor spam IP addresses – Monitor the IP addresses of people or bots leaving spam comments. Choose which ones to block based on a configurable number of comments left.
FILE / DATABASE Security
Scan and fix file permissions – Scan for insecure file permissions. Click once to fix issues and safeguard critical files and folders.
Disable PHP file editing – Disable editing of PHP files (such as plugins and themes) via the dashboard. It’s often the first tool that attackers use as it allows for code execution.
Protect sensitive files – Prevent access to files like readme.html that might reveal information about your WordPress installation.
File change scanner – Get notified of any file changes which occur on your system. Exclude files and folders which change as part of normal operations.
Prevent image hotlinking – Prevent other websites from displaying your images via hotlinking and protect server bandwidth.
Secure database backups – Perform a database backup via UpdraftPlus from AIOS. Change the default ‘wp_’ prefix to hide your WordPress database from hackers.
FIREWALL
Get .htaccess firewall rules – Deny access to the .htaccess and wp-config.php files. Disable the server signature and limit file uploads to a configurable size.**
Block access to the debug.log file and prevent Apache servers from listing the contents of a directory when an index.php file is not present
Get PHP firewall rules – PHP firewall rules prevent malicious users from exploiting well-known vulnerabilities in XML-RPC. Safeguard your content by disabling RSS and Atom feeds and avoid cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
Block fake Google bots and POST requests made by bots – Block fake Google bots and stop bots from making POST requests by blocking IP addresses where the user-agent and referrer fields are blank.
Utilise 6G firewall rules – Employ flexible blacklist rules to reduce the number of malicious URL requests that hit your website (courtesy of Perishable Press).
And more – Blacklist (and whitelist) IP ranges and user agents and block unauthorized access to data by disabling REST API access for non-logged-in requests.
TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION ENHANCED [Premium]
Two-factor authentication is included in the free plugin. Upgrade to Premium if you’d like to:
Require TFA after a set time period – Mandate TFA for all admins or other roles after their accounts reach a specified age.
Control how often TFA is required – Set TFA to be required after a certain number of days on trusted devices instead of every login.
Customise design layout – Adjust the TFA design to match your website’s existing layout and branding.
Emergency codes – Generate one-time use emergency codes to regain access if you lose your TFA device.
WordPress Multisite Compatible – Ensure compatibility with WordPress multisite networks and their sub-sites for consistent TFA application.
Integration with login forms – Integrate TFA with various login forms, including WooCommerce, Affiliates-WP, Elementor Pro, bbPress, and ‘Theme My Login’ without additional coding.
SMART 404 BLOCKING [Premium]
Block IPs based on 404 errors – Detect hackers probing your URLs via script and bots by the 404 errors they leave behind.
Smart 404 Configuration – Set a figure for the maximum number of 404 events allowed before an IP address is blocked. Choose a time period within which the 404 events must occur (e.g., 10 errors within 10 minutes).

Smart 404 whitelisting – Prevent particular IP addresses from being permanently blocked due to 404 events.

Yes, AIOS Premium is compatible with WordPress multisites. For multisite networks, the protection will apply to the network as a whole, and the dashboard and options will be available on the main site of the WordPress multisite.
There is no 100% guarantee that a security plugin will be able to protect against all attacks, as there is always the possibility of unknown WordPress vulnerabilities or other unexpected factors, and attackers are always seeking to develop new ways around protections. However, All-In-One Security gives good protection against known attack methods, and is under continuous development to monitor and improve protections.
AIOS should be compatible with most hosts, unless the host has specifically restricted the use of security plugins. Similarly, certain features may not work on some servers, especially Windows/IIS platforms. Features that use the ‘.htaccess’ file will not apply on a Windows IIS server or NGINX server (but development is ongoing to port those protections to all servers).
Development and test sites require their own licence if updates to the plugin are needed.
However, these sites can be disconnected from the licence when they have served their purpose. You can disconnect the licence via the site’s WP Admin->Plugins page, and it will be available to be reassigned to a different site.

5.2.0 – 10/Jul/2023
- SECURITY: Remove authentication data from the stacktrace before saving to the database. This defect meant that a site administrator had the potential, between releases 5.1.9 to 5.2.0 (which purges the existing data), to know what site users’ passwords are. This information has limited value (an admin can already reset anyone’s password) except insofar as the passwords may be re-used by users on other sites. In that “hostile admin” scenario, your site has other problems (since the hostile admin has a whole raft of equivalent ways of causing mischief to users, especially if not on multisite where a site admin is potentially not a super admin and may not be able to install or configure plugins). This changelog has been expanded in response to incorrect reports which suggested a wider problem (for example, they did not mention that the attacker needs to already be logged in as an admin to read the log, or that upgrading to 5.2.0 deletes the affected data).

";s:3:"faq";s:1860:"
Yes! The plugin is completely free and includes all the core scanning features. The plugin works either locally on your own server, or 20x faster, better and more accurately on WPMU DEV cloud servers. The Local version only works in your site admin, while the Cloud version works in both your site admin and in your Hub.
The cloud version requires a connection to WPMU DEV to access its API. However, you don’t need to be a premium WPMU DEV member to access the cloud version! You can create a free Hub account (with some restrictions) directly in the plugin while settings things up.
Absolutely. You can scan everything from custom fields to WooCommerce product links.
Yes, Broken Link Checker supports WordPress Multisite and gives you full flexibility.
Nope. The plugin doesn’t modify your content. It just finds the broken links and gives you options to manage them.
We take plugin security incredibly seriously; if you have a bug or vulnerability to report, you can do so through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. It’s fast, easy, and you will be notified when the issue is fixed. Report a vulnerability.

Compliance by Hu-manity.co (formerly known as Cookie Notice) provides a simple, customizable website banner that can be used to help your website comply with cookie consent requirements under the EU GDPR, CCPA, and other data privacy laws — with seamless integration with Cookie Compliance to help your site comply with the latest updates to existing consent laws.
Cookie Compliance is a fully featured Consent Management Platform (CMP) that provides automated compliance features and enhanced design controls in a state-of-the-art web application. Cookie Compliance enables websites to take a proactive approach to data protection and consent laws. It is the first solution to offer Intentional Consent, a new consent framework that incorporates the latest guidelines from over 100+ countries, and emerging standards from leading international organizations like the IEEE and European Center for Digital Rights (noyb.eu). Cookie Compliance provides a beautiful, multi-level experience and includes new choices and controls for site visitors to better understand and engage in data privacy decisions.
Our Cookie Compliance web application introduces a more ethical, proactive way to capture and manage consent. This early version of the emerging Intentional Consent framework is a result of Hu-manity.co’s ongoing work with top Fortune 500 companies, governments, and standards organizations, who believe that the imbalanced relationship between consumers and corporations is unsustainable when it comes to data privacy and consent online. We are making it available for all website owners and operators who share this belief and support our mission to eliminate the dark patterns in online consent.
Matt Sinderbrand – Chief Platform Officer, Hu-manity.co
Compliance (plugin only)
Compliance by Hu-manity.co provides a simple, customizable website banner to help your website comply with certain cookie consent requirements.
Banner features:
- Customizable notice message
- Consent on click, scroll or close
- Multiple cookie expiry options
- Link to Privacy Policy page
- WordPress Privacy Policy page synchronization
- WPML and Polylang compatible
- SEO friendly
Cookie Compliance (plugin + web application)
Cookie Compliance gives you access to the most up-to-date formatting guidelines and technical compliance requirements for over 100 countries and legal jurisdictions.
Banner features:
- Intentional Consent provides 3 equal buttons to give site visitors the ability to accept none, some, or all cookies through packaged choices called Data Access Levels. Data Access Levels improve consent conversion and eliminate the dark pattern of deceptive, non-equal choices in the first layer. Complies with equal choice principle prescribed under GDPR and other data protection laws.
- Consent duration selector gives visitor control over how long their consent remains valid for your site. Enables your site to align with recent guidelines from EU Data Protection Authorities, which state that cookie consent should be valid for no longer than a period of 6 months.
- Cookie purpose categories make it easy for website visitors to customize their consent by category. Complies with affirmative, opt-in consent requirements prescribed under GDPR and other data protection laws.
- Consent metrics displays the visitor’s consent record and a list of blocked / allowed 3rd parties directly in the expanded level of the banner. Complies with latest guidance from EU Data Protection Authorities like CNIL (France) and ICO (UK).
- Customizable Privacy Paper provides helpful information to improve visitor comprehension and understanding of the data sharing risks and benefits. Allows you to summarize core components of your sites privacy notice and aligns with the informed principle prescribed by GDPR rules for valid consent capture.
- Configurable Privacy Contact allows you to provide contact information for a business’ data privacy admin, as well as helpful links to data subject request forms and other data privacy resources. Aligns with the informed principle prescribed by GDPR rules for valid consent capture.
Web Application features:
- Consent analytics dashboard shows event data for number of visits and provides a “trust score” to help you track how site visitors are setting their consent. Make adjustments to your banner to improve your cookie acceptance rate and monitor progress via the consent activity graph.
- Default configurations for GDPR, CCPA and more help to remove dark patterns and allow for quick and easy deployment of the consent banner without any guesswork. Customize the design of any default configuration to match the look and feel of your site.
- Automatic script blocking blocks all non-essential cookie scripts and iFrames by default and complies with valid consent rules under GDPR and other data protection laws; in order to be compliant, your site must record visitor consent before setting or sending cookies.
- Google Consent Mode ensures that your website can still gather valuable insights and perform effectively while respecting users’ privacy preferences by dynamically adjusting the behavior of Google services according to user consent.
- Facebook Consent Mode allows your website to measure the impact of your ads on Facebook, track website activities and conversions and automatically deliver ads to Facebook if the user has agreed to.
- Consent record storage automatically stores a record of each consent and makes these records available for export. Complies with proof-of-consent requirements prescribed under GDPR and other data protection laws.
- Multilingual support automatically translates all banner text strings and allows you to provide custom translations for every text field to ensure visitors get a consistent consent experience.
- Multidomain management allows you to manage additional Free or Professional domains under a single account and enables you to customize banner configuration and design for each domain independently.
Cookie Compliance proactive approach:
For all businesses, the resources required to stay ahead of the latest regulations increases with the passage of each new law. With enforcement of compliance violations increasing daily, we believe it is critical for us as a trusted consent vendor to do everything in our power to help you stay ahead of these laws and remove the risk to your business
Cookie Compliance covers all current and upcoming regulations:
- GDPR (EU)
- ePrivacy Directive (EU)
- ePrivacy Regulation (EU)
- PECR (UK)
- LGPD (Brazil)
- PIPEDA (Canada)
- PDPB (India)
- CCPA (California, US)
- VCDPA (Virginia, US)
- Colorado Privacy Act (US)
- CPRA (California, US)
Cookie Compliance incorporates all recent formatting guidance:
- European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS)
- ICO (United Kingdom)
- CNIL (France)
- GPDP (Italy)
- BfDl (Germany)
- AEPD (Spain)
- European Center for Digital Rights (noyb.eu)
Cookie Compliance targets dark patterns
Dark Patterns are user interface (UI) techniques that push site visitors to make decisions (such as agreeing to the installation of cookies on their devices) that they might not otherwise make. The most common Dark Pattern is the lack of an equal “reject all” button on the first layer of the consent notice. Dark Patterns are explicitly banned under GDPR and other data protection laws.
As a part of our proactive approach, Cookie Compliance is configured by default to prevent Dark Patterns through our unique Intentional Consent design.

Image Widget is a simple plugin that uses the native WordPress media manager to add image widgets to your site.
Image Widget Features
- Responsive
- MU Compatible
- Handles image resizing and alignment
- Link the image
- Add title and description
- Versatile – all fields are optional
- Upload, link to external image, or select an image from your media collection

Quality You Can Trust
Image Widget is developed and maintained by The Events Calendar, the same folks behind The Events Calendar, Event Tickets, and a full suite of premium plugins.
This plugin is actively supported by our team and contributions from community members. If you see a question in the forum you can help with or have a great idea and want to code it up or submit a patch, that would be awesome! Not only will we shower you with praise and thanks, it’s also a good way to get to know us and lead into options for paid work if you freelance.

Documentation
The built in template can be overridden by files within your template.
Default vs. Custom Templates
The Image Widget comes with a default template for the widget output. If you would like to alter the widget display code, create a new folder called “image-widget” in your template directory and copy over the “views/widget.php” file.
Edit the new file to your hearts content. Please do not edit the one in the plugin folder as that will cause conflicts when you update the plugin to the latest release.
New in 3.2: You may now also use the “sp_template_image-widget_widget.php” filter to override the default template behavior for .php template files. Eg: if you wanted widget.php to reside in a folder called my-custom-templates/ and wanted it to be called my-custom-name.php:
add_filter('sp_template_image-widget_widget.php', 'my_template_filter');
function my_template_filter($template) {
return get_template_directory() . '/my-custom-templates/my-custom-name.php';
}
Filters
There are a number of filters in the code that will allow you to override data as you see fit. The best way to learn what filters are available is always by simply searching the code for ‘apply_filters’. But all the same, here are a few of the more essential filters:
widget_title
This is actually a pretty typical filter in widgets and is applied to the widget title.
widget_text
Another very typical widget filter that is applied to the description body text. This filter also takes 2 additional arguments for $args and $instance so that you can learn more about the specific widget instance in the process of filtering the content.
image_widget_image_attachment_id
Filters the attachment id of the image.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
image_widget_image_url
Filters the url of the image displayed in the widget.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
THIS IS DEPRECATED AND WILL EVENTUALLY BE DELETED
image_widget_image_width
Filters the display width of the image.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
image_widget_image_height
Filters the display height of the image.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
image_widget_image_maxwidth
Filters the inline max-width style of the image. Hint: override this to use this in responsive designs 🙂
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
Return null to remove this css from the image output (defaults to ‘100%’).
image_widget_image_maxheight
Filters the inline max-height style of the image.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
Return null to remove this css from the image output (defaults to null)
image_widget_image_size
Filters the selected image ‘size’ corresponding to WordPress registered sizes.
If this is set to ‘tribe_image_widget_custom’ then the width and height are used instead.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
image_widget_image_align
Filters the display alignment of the image.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
image_widget_image_alt
Filters the alt text of the image.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
image_widget_image_link
Filters the url that the image links to.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
image_widget_image_link_target
Filters the link target of the image link.
Accepts additional $args and $instance arguments.
image_widget_image_attributes
Filters a list of image attributes used in the image output. Similar to ‘wp_get_attachment_image_attributes’
Accepts $instance arguments
image_widget_link_attributes
Filters a list of attributes used in the image link. Similar to ‘wp_get_attachment_image_attributes’
Accepts $instance arguments
Have You Supported the Image Widget?
If so, then THANK YOU! Also, feel free to add this line to your wp-config.php file to prevent the image widget from displaying a message after upgrades.
define( ‘I_HAVE_SUPPORTED_THE_IMAGE_WIDGET’, true );

Yes you can, however, this is not controlled through the Image Widget plugin directly – it is usually managed through a page-specific sidebar display.
There are several solutions available to accomplish this. A quick search for “WordPress page-specific sidebar display” can help you find the best option for your site.
Though we do not have a demo available, we do have screenshots available here.
These features are part of our Image Widget Plus plugin. You can learn more about Image Widget Plus on our website.

Convert to next-gen formats like AVIF and WebP
With the TinyPNG WordPress plugin, you can easily convert your images to next-gen formats like AVIF and WebP. AVIF and WebP are modern image formats designed for the web. They are often smaller in size than older formats like JPEG and PNG, while keeping excellent image quality.
- WebP images are 25–34% smaller than JPEG (lossy) according to Google.
- AVIF can reduce image size by up to 50% compared to JPEG, often even beating WebP in compression.
Google’s PageSpeed Insights and other tools strongly recommend serving images in AVIF or WebP. Most modern browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari) now fully support WebP and AVIF. That means you can safely serve these formats to most of your visitors.
With the TinyPNG WordPress plugin, your images can be automatically converted to AVIF or WebP when you upload them. No extra steps are required.
Optimizing all your images
You can bulk optimize your existing JPEG, PNG, and WebP images all at once by going to Media > Bulk TinyPNG. Clicking on the big button will start compressing and converting, when needed, all unoptimized images in your media library.
If you have more images than your free credits allow, the tool will show you an estimated cost to optimize your entire library. If you are interested, you can upgrade your account to the paid plan and optimize the full library all in one go. Prefer to stay on the free plan? No problem! The bulk optimization tool will simply process images until your free limit is reached.
Compress for performance
The Tinify optimization engine is more than just compression. It is built to deliver the best image performance for the web, without sacrificing visual quality. Here’s how it helps:
- Display JPEG images more quickly with progressive JPEG encoding.
- Color profiles are automatically translated to standard RGB color.
- Convert CMYK to RGB to save more space and add compatibility.
Compatibility
The TinyPNG plugin is fully compatible with WordPress Multisite. Next to this, TinyPNG for WordPress works smoothly with most themes and plugins. Here is a list of the popular plugins that have been tested to work smoothly with TinyPNG.
- WPML
- WooCommerce
- WP Retina 2x
- WP Offload
Getting Started
Install this plugin and follow the instructions to set up your account. No payment details are required.
Learn more about the plugin with these step-by-step tutorials:
- How to set up the TinyPNG WordPress plugin?
- How to compress existing images with the WordPress plugin?
Pricing
You get 500 credits per month at no cost.
With a regular WordPress installation, you can compress roughly 100 images per month. Please note that converting images to AVIF or WebP uses an additional credit per image size. This means with the conversion feature enabled, you can roughly compress and convert 50 images per month for free.
The exact number depends on how many thumbnail sizes are generated by your theme or plugins. You can choose which of the generated thumbnail sizes should be optimized by going to Settings > TinyPNG page. You can upgrade to a paid plan to remove the limit and compress as many images as you like.

";s:3:"faq";s:4790:"
A: In a default WordPress installation you can optimize around 100 images for free each month. WordPress creates different thumbnails of your images which all have to be compressed. Some plugins even add more sizes, so take a look at the Settings > TinyPNG – JPEG, PNG & WebP image compression page before you start optimization.
A: The plugin is free to use, you receive 500 free compressions each calendar month.
If you need to compress more, you can upgrade to the pay-per-compression pricing. You can view the current pricing at tinify.com.
When you use the bulk optimization tool, the plugin will first scan your media library and show you an estimated number of credits needed to optimize all uncompressed images. You can decide whether you want to upgrade your plan or stay within the free limit.
A: Just add your Payment details on your account dashboard to remove the limit. For a small fee the additional compressions above 500 will then be charged to your account at the end of each month.
A: When you remove the plugin all your optimized images will remain optimized.
A: When you upload an image to your website, WordPress will create different sized versions of it (see Settings > TinyPNG). The plugin will compress each of these sizes, so when you have 100 images and 5 different sizes you will do 500 compressions.
A: Yes, but they are very generous! The maximum file size is 500MB and the maximum canvas size is 256MP (16000px by 16000px in any ratio).
A: Yes, there are no limitations. You can add the same key everywhere.
A: Yes, you can hide your API key from the admin so other admin users will not be able to see it. To do this you should define the API key in your wp-config.php file. See the installation instructions for more information.
A: Everything will keep on working, but newly uploaded images will not be optimized. Of course we encourage everyone to switch to a paid account to cover the hosting and development costs of the service.
A: Yes! After installing the plugin, go to Media > Bulk TinyPNG, and click on the start button to optimize all unoptimized images in your media library.
A: You can upgrade to a paid account by adding your Payment details on your account dashboard. Additional compressions above 500 will then be charged at the end of each month as a one-time fee.
A: When the conversion feature is enabled (to convert images to AVIF or WebP), each image will use double the number of credits: one for compression and one for format conversion.

Here are the installation guidelines from our YouTube channel or from our website.
If you’re struggling to backup, migrate or restore there’s help available.
Search existing topics on the WordPress support forum or post a new one. Our support and development teams check and respond to queries everyday.
UpdraftPlus Premium customers can log a ticket directly with our support and development teams via the UpdraftPlus support hub.
Before you get in touch, please ensure that you have read through our FAQs and that you’ve updated to the latest release of our plugin.
It helps greatly if you can include the backup log and as much other information as possible in your report, for example the PHP version, your website, the error description, how you got to the page that caused it, any other relevant plugins you have installed, plus any other information that might be of use.
To find the backup log: there are links to download the logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page in the plugin – or you may be emailed it. Failing that, FTP into the directory wp-content/updraft and look for it there.
If you know how, please send your PHP error logs – just the few lines that appear when you run a backup, often the file called error_log, possibly in your wp-admin directory which you can check via FTP. If you’re a programmer that can debug and send a patch, that’s even better.
Migrating in the free plugin involves downloading the backups from the source site then uploading these to the destination site.
To find the backup log: there are links to download the logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page- or you may be emailed it. Failing that, FTP into the directory wp-content/updraft and look for it there.
Both free and Premium plugins include a built-in search-and-replace engine to replace old strings with the new location.
If migration is all you require, and for simple single site migrations the free plugin will likely be enough to meet your needs. If you have additional needs around backups e.g. the ability to backup before updates, if you require more remote storage locations or if you have a WordPress multisite then we recommend UpdraftPlus Premium for the additional benefits that it brings.
This problem is probably caused by your account being starved of resources by your (cheap) web host provider. This is far from ideal; although UpdraftPlus supports resuming backup runs right from the beginning to avoid everything having to be done at once, it has its limits. The best thing is to choose a more reputable web host. Failing this, try going into the “Expert settings” and reducing the size at which zip files are split. UpdraftPlus is known to successfully backup websites that run into the multiple-gigabytes on web servers that are not resource-starved.
";s:9:"changelog";s:35488:"The UpdraftPlus backup blog is the best place to learn in more detail about any important changes.
N.B. Paid versions of UpdraftPlus Backup / Restore have a version number which is 1 higher in the first digit, and has an extra component on the end, but the changelog below still applies. i.e. changes listed for 1.16.32.x of the free version correspond to changes made in 2.16.32.x of the paid version.

1.25.1 – 11/Jan/2025
- SECURITY: Fix a non-persistent reflected XSS vulnerability due to a missing nonce combined with missing sanitisation. This could allow an attacker, who persuaded you to click a personally-crafted link to your site’s dashboard whilst you were logged in, to once run JavaScript code in your dashboard. Thanks to Asaf Mozes for finding and responsibly disclosing this issue.
- FIX: Prevent the restoration from failing when there is a ‘sync-xhr=()’ permission policy on the response header.
- FIX: Improve the approach of acquiring a suggested region for Amazon AWS S3 if a failure arises during the getBucketLocation() call, particularly when the XML response fails to provide a field for the suggested region – this resolves issues with regions (e.g. us-east-2) which recently changed their response behaviour
- TWEAK: Broaden the support to incorporate the “ap-southeast-4” region of Amazon AWS S3 and additional recently updated regions

1.24.12 – 23/Dec/2024

- FIX: Update PHPSecLib library to version 2.0.48 which has the fixes for the “gmp_pow(): base and exponent overflow” on certain PHP versions and could cause backups to fail on the SFTP remote storage
- TWEAK: Complete the review and removal of calls to the unserialize() PHP function allowing class instantiation begun in 1.24.7. (The final removal involved a theoretical security defect, if your development site allowed an attacker to post content to it which you migrated to another site, and which contained customised code that could perform destructive actions which the attacker knew about, prior to you then cloning the site. The result of this removal is that some search-replaces, highly unlikely to be encountered in practice, will be skipped).
- TWEAK: Drop search and replace feature for PHP 5.2 users (to fulfil the preceding item)
- TWEAK: Tweak UpdraftCentral media module to add “has_image_editor” property to each media item
- TWEAK: On the restoration screen in a multisite configuration, the dropdown labeled “which site to restore” was covering other HTML elements, which caused some buttons to be positioned at the bottom instead of at the top
- TWEAK: Avoid deregistering jQuery-UI CSS if already printed by other plugins to prevent compatibility issues

WP-Optimize is trusted by more than 1 million WordPress website owners to boost performance and reduce page load times to improve your site’s user experiences and SERP rankings in Google.
It does this in four clever ways:
1. It caches your site
Caching is the process of storing a temporary HTML version of your site on the server so it can be retrieved more quickly for the user.
It’s a sure-fire way to ensure web pages load at lightning-fast speed. Turn it on in just one click.
2. It compresses images
Large images can really impact page speed load times. WP-Optimize makes it easy to identify and compress images to your preferred lossy / lossless settings in a couple of clicks.
3. It cleans the database
Your WordPress database stores everything that you need, plus some things that you don’t. WP-Optimize cleans and optimizes the database to speed up your site and save server resources.
4. It minifies
On top of its three main features, WP-Optimize Cache also has the more advanced minification feature.
Together with caching, minification dramatically improves performance and page speed load time.
1. CACHE YOUR SITE
Turn on caching in just one click:
WP-Optimize automatically and optimally configures itself for your WordPress site. Turn it on in one-click or refine its settings if you prefer.
More cache features:
-
Cache preloading: This feature emulates a visit to your site, meaning cached files are served straight away, speeding up your site from the very first visit.
-
GZIP Compression: When the server isn’t configured to do so, WP-Optimize delivers HTML, CSS and JS files to the user’s browser as smaller, compressed files, reducing the size of pages and style sheets by up to 90%!
-
Preload key requests: Recommended by Google to improve page speed times. Critical resources (things like font files) get loaded first, so the page loads much faster [Premium].
Use cache settings to:
-
Serve cached content to logged in users: Turn this on if content stays the same for logged in users (or turn on and exclude URLs where content does change e.g. my account areas).
-
Exclude content from cache: Exclude by URL, conditional tags, browser agent strings or list cookies that should prevent caching when set (advanced user settings).
-
Deliver device-specific cache: Serve separate cache files to desktop and mobile devices . This ensures that responsive features e.g. desktop and mobile menus are cached separately and served correctly.
-
User per role cache: Useful if your website delivers different content to different user roles. e.g. an e-commerce site that displays different content to resellers or consumers [Premium].
-
User specific cache: Serves separate cache files to individual users. Useful for websites with personalised content e.g. Learning management systems [Premium].
-
Cache purging permissions: Select which user roles are allowed to purge the cache e.g. admin only or perhaps a ‘teacher’ role in an LMS setting only [Premium].
2. COMPRESS IMAGES
-
Lossy or lossless compression options: Choose between maximum space saving, best image quality or somewhere in-between.
-
WebP conversion: Recommended by Google, WebP can achieve up to 34% smaller file sizes compared to JPEG and up to 26% compared to PNG.
-
Auto-compress: Check a box and every new image you upload will automatically be compressed to your preferred lossy / lossless settings.
-
Bulk compression: Compress every existing image on your site with the press of a button.
-
Restore original: Gone too far? Revert images back to their original in one click.
-
Retain EXIF image data: Check a box to retain EXIF image data during compression.
-
Lazy Load: Webpages load much faster by loading web parts gradually, when they’re needed vs simultaneous loading of everything, all at once [Premium].
-
Delete orphaned images: Identify and delete unused images from your WordPress website, saving disk space [Premium].
-
Delete unused image sizes: WordPress creates multiple sizes for every uploaded image causing the uploads folder to become bloated. Scan for image sizes not in use and remove them to save further disk space [Premium].
3. CLEAN AND OPTIMIZE THE DATABASE
Cleans-up database tables, post revisions, auto draft posts, trashed posts, spam, trashed comments and more. Choose what to optimize or it’s one click to clean out the lot.
-
Schedule clean-ups: So you can set and forget. Choose from daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
-
Flexible clean-up schedules: You may wish to optimize database tables more frequently than you remove unapproved comments (for example). Choose the specific time and day when tasks should run [Premium].
-
Retain a set number of weeks’ data during clean-ups: Just in case you need to retrieve something.
-
Back up before clean-ups: If you delete something you shouldn’t, restore it in a couple of clicks with UpdraftPlus.
-
Power tweak – Turbo boost for WooCommerce: Unique to WP-Optimize, this power tweak boosts performance by replacing a slow query in WooCommerce with two much more efficient queries. E-commerce sites transacting high numbers of orders stand to gain here [Premium].
-
Power tweak – Boost performance by indexing the postmeta table: This unique power tweak works by allowing the WordPress postmeta table to be indexed, improving performance [Premium].
4. MINIFY AND COMBINE HTML, CSS AND JAVASCRIPT
-
Minify in just one click: Minifies HTML, JavaScript and CSS. Toggle on or off or customise each one under ‘settings’.
-
Customise minification: Minify only (removing unnecessary code e.g line breaks and white spacing) or minify and merge. Apply the same or different settings to HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
-
Asynchronous loading: Choose non-critical CSS and JavaScript files to load in the background and independently of other resources e.g. analytics or pixel scripts. Loading asynchronously eliminates render blocking and improves page speed.
-
Exclude files from being minified: Specify CSS and JavaScript files to exclude from minification.
-
Optimize fonts: Optimize Font Awesome and Google Fonts. Inline the font files, inherit from CSS settings or load CSS / Javascript asynchronously instead.
-
Preload assets: WP-Optimize visits each web page on your site so the code is minified and preloaded for real life users, right from their very first visit.
-
Preload key requests: Recommended by Google to improve page speed times. Critical resources (things like font files) get loaded first, so the page loads much faster.

We’ve built WP-Optimize Cache around the most advanced and powerful caching technology. Our caching tests and feedback from real-world users show that the caching feature alone can make your site faster than any other cache plugin or optimization. See these speed test results.
Yes; optimizing does not involve any “tricks” or poking around in dangerous ways. It involves running routine clean-up operations using well-defined, common MySQL commands. Nevertheless, we always recommend backups, which cover every possibility; not just database malfunctions, but hackers, human errors, etc. We recommend UpdraftPlus.
This is a “how long is string?” sort of question. It depends completely on your site – how big it is, how many users interact on it, how long it has been running, and when you last optimised it. However, the savings and speed-ups can be substantial; it is always worth making sure that your database is optimised.
In our support forum, here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-optimize/
This is rare; it’s probably because you’re with a shared web hosting company that doesn’t allow scripts to run an optimize command via SQL statements (SQL “OPTIMIZE” instruction). Please consult your web hosting company on this matter.
Yes – WP-Optimize Cache is WordPress’s #1 most-installed optimisation plugin, with over 800,000 users and a pedigree going back over 8 years.
WP-Optimize will disable some features if it detects InnoDB tables. Optimization of the database tables on-disk is not available, but other clean up features would work.
Not unless you have an existing backup. Please ensure that you make a backup of your entire database before using WP-Optimize for the first time, and when you upgrade to a major new version of it. We recommend UpdraftPlus.
The plugin is an ongoing work; that means that it is impossible to rule out unforeseen situations and bugs. So I would recommend you to test it out on your local system or make a backup of your database (just to be extra careful).
When WordPress uses a particular transient, that specific transient is re-created automatically. So, it’s normally for ones which are in active use to gradually re-appear. The best way to keep things optimal is to clear the transient options on a scheduled basis. For example, WordPress may create 50 transient option in a week. If you schedule WP-Optimize Cache to clear these options on a weekly basis, you’ll have far fewer building up.
Please check your database for corrupted tables. That can happen, usually your web hosting company can run the repair command on the db.
To use all features in the plugin, a minimum of version WordPress 4.9 with PHP 7.2 are required. But we do recommend to use the latest version of WordPress. Using PHP 7.2+ is also highly recommended, as our caching feature will work even faster.
This depends on your setup (theme, number and quality of plugins used, etc…), but generally, caching will make the biggest visible difference to your website’s performance. Indeed, the cache functionality bypasses most of WordPress code to serve your pre-optimised cached pages directly to your visitor, significantly increasing the speed.
“Caching”, from Wikipedia: “In computing, a cache is a hardware or software component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster; the data stored in a cache might be the result of an earlier computation or a copy of data stored elsewhere. A cache hit occurs when the requested data can be found in a cache, while a cache miss occurs when it cannot.” — WP-Optimize cache does this by saving the page computed by WordPress on the disk. When a user visits a page, WP-Optimize will serve the cached page before WordPress is loaded. If the page wasn’t cached before, it will be computed by WordPress, and WP-Optimize will then save the result to the cache.
You think your site is fast without caching? A caching plugin will make your website even faster. A faster cached website will increase SEO, it will improve your visitors experience. Caching will also save your server’s resources.
Yes, your Gutenberg pages will be cached, as well as those created with page builder plugins such as Elementor.
If cache is enabled, and in order to see if your page is cached, use the “View Source” function in your web browser to view the page source. To find caching information, scroll down to the bottom, and you should see a line added by the cache: <!-- Cached by WP Optimize - https://teamupdraft.com/wp-optimize/ - Last modified: Sat, 20 Jul 2019 21:17:19 GMT ->
However, note that if you are using a further service that minifies HTML (e.g. Cloudflare), then this line may have been removed. Another method is to inspect the contents of the directory wpo-cache inside your wp-content directory. <a href=”https://teamupdraft.com/documentation/wp-optimize/topics/caching/faqs/how-do-i-know-my-webpage-is-being-cached/>Further information can be read here
Also note that if you do not preload the cache, a page or post will have to be visited once for the cache file to be generated.
Go to WP-Optimize -> Cache and enable caching. For most people, that will be enough. If you run an e-commerce, have a custom login page or any page that has dynamic content, you might want to exclude certain urls from the cache. Visit documentation for help.
Yes, caching with WP-Optimize Cache allows you to safely cache your products, with plugins like WooCommerce or Easy Digital Downloads, or any e-commerce that uses DONOTCACHEPAGE to exclude sensitive pages from caching (e.g. my account, cart or checkout pages).
Yes, WP-Optimize works with popular multilingual plugins like WPML or Polylang. However, it’s important to note that when using WP-Optimize with multilingual plugins, the URL format for different languages should not include any query parameters, for example https://example.com/?lang=en. Instead, it should be in a pretty permalink format, such as https://example.com/en.
No, if WordPress works properly, WP-Optimize will be able to cache your pages and posts.
No, because both cache plugins would need to use the drop-in plugin advanced-cache.php. If you turn off caching on WP-Optimize Cache, you can use any other caching plugin and still use the other features of WP-Optimize. But we do recommend using our caching solution.
Yes! No special cache configuration is needed. Page caching on the WP site (that done by WP-Optimize Cache) is independent of proxy caching (e.g. Cloudflare) – you can use both, or neither, and they will complement each other and not interfere.
Just one thing to note – Cloudflare will strip out the special HTML comment at the bottom of the source of a page that is helpful to confirm that page caching is working, so, don’t be confused by that – it’s absence doesn’t indicate the cache is not working.
Yes, you can trigger a cache purge action using WP-Optimize Cache public functions. If you want to clear the whole cache, use the function wpo_cache_flush(). If you want to clear the cache files for a specific page or post, use WPO_Page_Cache::delete_single_post_cache($post_id);. Those cache options are available after WP action plugins_loaded.
Yes, when using WordPress’ commenting system, your users will still be able to post comments. Every time a comment is approved, the cache for that page or post will be cleared, allowing the next visitor to see an up to date list of comments.
Usually, a page is cached when a user visits it. So the first user visiting won’t be served a cached version of the page, and will wait longer than the next users. The cache preloading functionality will go through all your pages and posts, and simulate a visit by a user, allowing WP-Optimize to cache the pages before anyone visits them. Your first visitor will thus be served a cached version of the page, increasing its performance.
Choosing a frequency for the cache preloading schedule will depend on factors such as the frequency at which the website content is updated, the number of pages in the cache, the resources of the server and more.
For example a site with hundreds of pages will require more resources to preload its cache. So choosing a high frequency will mean that the cache will be recreated often, and the resource usage will be higher.
On a website where updates aren’t as frequent, you can even disable the cache preloading schedule, or set a high cache lifespan and set the cache preloading schedule to follow it.
Add /.+ to the cache option “URLs to exclude from cache” on the advanced settings tab.
To prevent a page from being cached, you can add the URL to the field “URLs to exclude from cache” in the cache “Advanced settings” tab. If you are developing a plugin and want to prevent a page from being cached, you can define the “DONOTCACHEPAGE” constant on the pages you need. Any request where “DONOTCACHEPAGE” is defined will not be cached.
Yes the caching feature is free. You will always be able to cache your website for free using WP-Optimize and we are constantly working on improving the existing cache feature. We will add more caching options to the free version and develop more specific caching options in the premium version to enable you to taylor the caching functionality to your needs.
The cached files are stored in the common “wp-content/cache” folder, inside a “wpo-cache” folder. Removing the “cache” folder will delete all of WP-Optimize’s cache, as well as those from other plugins.
Deleting the “cache” folder is generally safe, as those cached files will be regenerated.
Go to WP-Optimize settings > Cache and toggle the “Enable page caching” option to on/off.
No, caching will actually reduce the load on your server, by reducing the amount of PHP and mysql used. You might see a peak in resource usage when using the cache preloader, as this functionality will create the cache files for all your pages in a short amount of time. But once this is done, performance should increase and the load on your server will decrease. Every single major site uses caching to serve cached pages faster by using fewer resources.
The cached page is sent to the user before most of WordPress was loaded. The plugins aren’t loaded yet, making it impossible for them to change the cached content at every request.
So at the moment if you want to keep parts of your page dynamic (e.g. adverts, widgets, shopping cart…) AND keep it cached, you will have to use custom solutions using javascript and AJAX to fetch those dynamic parts from the server.
WP-Optimize Cache will remove the “WP_CACHE” constant from wp-config.php when you disable page caching, or when you deactivate the cache plugin. If you need to remove it manually, you can use FTP to edit wp-config.php and delete the line define (‘WP_CACHE’, true );
If page caching is still enabled in the settings, WP-Optimize Cache will attempt to add the line again, as it is required for the caching functionality to work.
WP-Optimize caching feature needs write access to the ‘wp-content/cache’ folder, as this is where the cache files will be stored. It also needs to define the constant ‘WP_CACHE’ in ‘wp-config.php’, it will need access once to ‘wp-content/advanced-cache.php’, as well as to the folder ‘wp-content/wpo-cache’ to write the cache settings.
If you need to change file permissions to enable caching, you can follow the instructions on this page https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/
There is no limit to the number of pages you can cache. The only limit is the space on your server and the maximum number of subdirectories allowed by your server, as caching will write files in subdirectories following the permalink structure.
If you were to reach a caching limit, it probably means that your server is not fit for the size of your website and caching needs.
You can generate a separate cache by selecting “Generate separate files for mobile devices” in the page cache settings. This cache setting is only necessary if you use a specific theme for mobile devices, or for certain AMP plugins.
Yes, the cache feature works with Nginx. Should you want to enable browser caching or GZIP compression, you will have to do this yourself directly on the server settings.
Yes, the cache feature works with IIS. As with Nginx, if you need to enable browser caching or GZIP compression, you will have to do this yourself on the server.
No. It’s necessary to have pretty permalinks of the type http://xxxxx.com/my-post/ rather than http://xxxxx.com/?p=1234 for cache to work. Pretty permalinks are the WordPress default setting, and there is no good reason to turn them off, so you should not have a problem with this.
Note that cache will work with permalinks including /index.php/. It is only those based upon query parameters (?…) where cache won’t work.
- When you publish new content or update/edit existing content, the cache for that post/page will be cleared.
- Changing/updating current themes and parent themes (of child themes) will purge the cache.
- When turning off the cache feature in WP-Optimize
No, WP dashboard pages are not cached. The cache functionality is only meant to cache frontend pages.
The cache lifespan is the time a cached file will be kept before being regenerated.
One of the main reason for setting a lifespan to your cache is that some plugins and themes use nonces, which are printed in the source code of the page (Read more about nonces here). These nonces cannot be reused and are valid for 12 hours by default (developers can change that value). The cache plugin will store the nonce in the page, and this one will become invalid after that perdiod of time, which can affect certain functionalities of your plugins and themes. Setting a cache lifespan to under 10 hours ensures the cache is flushed automatically before the nonce expires. This way you can use WP-Optimize’s cache feature on sites which use nonces.
An other reason is that you may want your pages to reflect some changes without having to clear the whole cache. Indeed if you have many pages and posts, you might not want to clear every cache file with every change, but rather set an interval at which they will expire and be regenerated.
A lower cache lifespan value will result in more frequent cache update activity on your server, and thus more preload processes, if activated.
If your site does not use nonces, and your site’s cache doesn’t need to be updated often, you can set the cache lifespan to a high value or to 0 to give it an infinite lifespan.
The cache lifespan option is set to 10 hours by default, but you may go down to 8 or even less.
If you notice any issues due to high server load, set a higher interval for the preloader.
Yes, the newly added Minify enables you to minify JavaScript and CSS. It also enables you to minify HTML.
WP-Optimize Cache’s Minify feature is all about increasing the speed of your WordPress site for your users.
One way Minify does this is by reducing the size of your HTML, CSS and JavaScript files by removing unnecessary spaces and lines from the files and shortening long names internally within the code.
Another way is that your files are merged into as few files as possible. This reduces the amount of load on your web server and can be quicker to load fewer files.
You can also defer the loading of any CSS or JavaScript file. This means any large or extraneous CSS or JavaScript file can be loaded independently from the core of your WordPress site; giving your users quicker access to your site.
Pressing the “Reset the minified files” does:
* delete the temporary files used when generating the minified assets
* delete old minified files (more than 30 days old)
* add a folder for the new minified files, which will be generated when visiting a page
The previously minified CSS files will remain on the server until they expire, or until they’re deleted using the button “Delete all the files generated by minify”.
Yes, the newly added minification feature (a.k.a. Minify) allows you to defer parsing of JavaScript and CSS.
Leveraging the font-display CSS feature is currently possible when using Google Fonts. The default parameter is “swap”, but can be changed using the WordPress filter “wpo_minify_gfont_display_type”.
This usually means one or more of your CSS files are incompatible with the minification or merging process. It can also be caused by errors in the CSS’s syntax.
You can check the CSS’s syntax by using an online CSS syntax checker such as csslint.net.
If your syntax is not causing the issue, or you cannot change the file with an issue, you can either exclude the problematic CSS files from the minification and merging process.
To exclude individual CSS files from the minification and merging process, you can go to WP-Optimize > Minify > CSS and go to the “Exclude the following CSS files from processing” section.
This usually means one or more of your JavaScript files are incompatible with the minification or merging process. It can also be caused by errors in the JavaScript’s syntax.
The first thing to try is to enable the setting “Contain each included file in its own block” in the JavaScript options (WP-Optimize > Minify > Javascript > JavaScript options). This could “catch” an error, and prevent the rest of the code to be broken.
If the first option didn’t work, try disabling merging of JavaScript files.
If none of the above works, disable processing of JavaScript files in the minify settings, and open a support thread with details about your issue. We’ll do our best to help you troubleshoot the issue.

Add an SVG image captcha and honeypot to your Contact Form 7 or WPForms form. Based on our interpretation this CAPTCHA plugin is GDPR compliant because the images are inline SVGs and no download of external resources happens, in addition no cookies or other storing mechanisms are used on the user’s device, this plugin will not slow down your site with additional header requests like Google’s ReCAPTCHA and respects your users privacy.
Directions [PLEASE READ]
Contact Form 7:
Add the shortcode [cf7ic] to the form editor where you want the CAPTCHA to appear.
You can hide the CAPTCHA until a user interacts with the form, by adding “toggle” to the shortcode: [cf7ic “toggle”]
WPForms:
Just activate the CAPTCHA for WPForms on the plugin’s settings page.

If either only parts of the CAPTCHA text is translated, or everything is displayed in English, please read through the following possible causes and how to fix them.
1 Translation missing
All plugins within the wordpress.org repository are translated by the translate.wordpress.org community.
Maybe your language set is not fully translated or not translated at all.
In this case, you have the following options:
1. Contribute to the translate.wordpress.org community and translate your language
2. Use another plugin to create your own local translation
3. Purchase the Image CAPTCHA PRO plugin which offers the possibility to choose your own messages without relying on any external translation – Go Pro!
2 Update WordPress translations
You might face the situation that your language pack is completely translated on translate.wordpress.org but the translation still might not work as expected.
In this case, you have the following options:
1. Update your language packs via: WP Admin > Dashboard > Updates > Translations > Update Translations
3 Contact Form 7 language settings
Contact Form 7 saves a meta variable for the language of each respective form and this is being done when you FIRST save the form.
In this case, you have the following options:
1. Change the variable via the WordPress database directly (look for the post ID of the respective form in the postmeta table and there’ll be a “_locale” option).
2. Make sure to change the language in your WordPress backend to your desired target language and then simply re-create the CF7 form.
Yes, both the free and pro versions support WPML.
In fact, there is an active partnership between WPML and Image CAPTCHA for seamless integration.
Please follow those steps:
1. Install CF7 and our plugin
2. Install WPML plugin and the CF7 Multilingual addon
3. WP admin backend: Choose your desired language, via flag at the top menu e.g. German (see screenshot)
4. WP admin backend: Choose Contact > Contact Forms > Add New
5. CF7: Translate the labels
6. CF7: In the right white sidebar, choose Translations to e.g. English (see screenshot)
7. WPML: Translate the strings into e.g. English
8. WPML: When finished click the green button: “Complete Translation”
9. WP admin backend: Choose Pages > Add New Page
10. WP page: Set the e.g. German title “Kontaktformular” and insert the Contact Form 7 shortcode
11. WP page: Save as draft or publish page
12. WP page: On the right, click: e.g. English + Translate (see screenshot)
Simply add this shortcode [cf7ic] to your contact form.
To make it so the CAPTCHA only shows when the form is being filled out, add “toggle” to the shortcode [cf7ic "toggle"] in your contact form.
The most likely reason the toggle is not working is because the double quotes around the word toggle has been changed to “smart quotes”, meaning that they are opening and closing quotation marks and not the verticle lines.
To fix, simply delete the quotes and re-add them with your keyboard – do not copy and paste.
If the Image CAPTCHA does not appear, please confirm that you are running PHP version 7 or higher.
If the styling does not look right, you may need to clear your browser cache. If you have any caching plugins or speed optimization plugins installed, you may need to clear your site cache as well.

Plugin updates, theme changes, and custom code should be tested before they reach your live site. A staging workflow lets you clone your production website, test changes safely, and keep a working backup ready in case something goes wrong.
Usually, it is best to run the staging site on an environment as close as possible to the production server. That is the best way to catch compatibility issues before they affect your live site.
WP STAGING combines backup, restore, staging, and migration in one workflow, so you can protect your live website, reduce downtime risk, and ship changes with more confidence.
Yes. WP STAGING started as a staging plugin and evolved into a full backup, restore, staging, and migration solution for WordPress.
Even the free version lets you create backups and restore them when needed. WP STAGING | PRO adds more advanced backup workflows, cloud storage destinations, migration tools, and developer-focused features.
WP STAGING combines backup, restore, staging, cloning, and migration in one workflow. While many backup plugins focus mainly on archive-based backups or simple migration, WP STAGING also helps you create a working staging copy, test updates safely, and restore your site when needed.
Some backup plugins focus mainly on creating backup archives, while WP STAGING also creates working staging copies for safer testing and rollback workflows. This is especially useful when you want production-like validation before pushing changes live.
Some backup plugins may not fully support custom tables in all scenarios. WP STAGING is designed to work reliably with staging workflows and custom table prefixes used by its own cloned environments.
WP STAGING | PRO also includes advanced workflows such as Remote Sync and WP STAGING CLI, which can turn a backup into a local Docker-based development site. That makes WP STAGING especially attractive for developers, agencies, and site owners who want more than a basic backup plugin.
After installing WP STAGING, go to the backup section in the plugin and create a full-site backup. You can then restore that backup if a plugin update, theme change, deployment, or unexpected issue breaks your site.
WP STAGING is designed to make backup and restore simple, even on shared hosting and large WordPress installations.
Remote Sync is a Pro feature that lets you pull a WordPress site securely from one server to another using an API key. Instead of manually exporting databases and copying files, you connect the two sites and start the sync from inside WP STAGING.
This is especially useful for agencies, developers, and site owners who want a faster and more reliable workflow for moving content between WordPress installs.

WP STAGING | PRO includes access to WP STAGING CLI, which can turn a WP STAGING backup into a local Docker-based WordPress site with one command.
This is ideal for debugging, QA, development, and reproducing client issues locally. It helps you create repeatable local environments without building custom Docker setups for every project.

WP STAGING | PRO includes migration workflows that help you move a WordPress website to another host, domain, or server.
If you want a guided step-by-step walkthrough, see:
How to Migrate Your WordPress Site to a New Host
Consistent website backups are the foundation of a robust disaster recovery strategy. They protect your website against failed updates, user mistakes, malware cleanup, hosting issues, hardware failures, software malfunctions, and data loss.
Backups should include website files, databases, user data, and configuration data. A combination of full backups and incremental backups can improve storage efficiency while keeping restore points current.
If your website generates leads, sales, traffic, or customer trust, regular backups are not optional. A reliable backup and restore workflow can save hours of downtime and expensive recovery work.
Permalinks are disabled on the staging site after the first cloning process.
Read this guide to activate permalinks on your staging site:
Activate Permalinks on the Staging Site
If you use a security plugin such as Wordfence, iThemes Security, All In One WP Security & Firewall, or a plugin that hides the default WordPress login URL, make sure you are running the latest version of WP STAGING.
If you still cannot log in, go to WP STAGING > Settings and disable WP STAGING extra authentication. Your admin dashboard will still remain protected.
You can always test your website locally, but if your local hardware and software environment is not an exact clone of your production server, there is no guarantee that every aspect of your local copy will behave the same way.
Differences in PHP version, server stack, memory, CPU performance, and filesystem behavior can all lead to unexpected results on production. That is why staging on infrastructure close to production remains valuable.
WP STAGING | PRO also gives you a more advanced local workflow through WP STAGING CLI, which can turn a backup into a local Docker-based development site.

Starting with Yoast SEO consists of just two steps: installing and setting up the plugin. Yoast SEO is designed to work with your site’s specific needs, so don’t forget to go through the Yoast SEO first-time configuration as explained in the ‘after activation’ step! For the most up-to-date guidance on how to install Yoast SEO products, please visit our help center.
";s:3:"faq";s:6119:"
Having an XML sitemap can be beneficial for SEO, as Google can retrieve essential pages of a website very fast, even if the internal linking of a site isn’t flawless.
The sitemap index and individual sitemaps are updated automatically as you add or remove content and will include the post types you want search engines to index. Post Types marked as noindex will not appear in the sitemap. Learn more about XML Sitemaps.
It is straightforward to add your website to Google Search Console.
1. Create a Google Search Console account and login into your account.
2. Click ‘Add a property’ under the search drop-down.
3. Enter your website URL in the box and click ‘Continue’.
4. Click the arrow next to ‘HTML tag’ to expand the option.
5. Copy the meta tag.
6. Log in to your WordPress website.
7. Click on ‘SEO’ in the dashboard.
8. Click on ‘General’.
9. Click on the ‘Webmaster Tools’ tab.
10. Paste the code in the Google field and click ‘Save Changes’.
11. Go back to Google Search Console and click ‘Verify’.
If you want more details steps, please visit our article on our help center.
The steps below are a temporary solution as manual edits made to theme files may be overwritten with future theme updates. Please contact the theme developer for a permanent solution. We’ve written an article about the importance of breadcrumbs for SEO.
To implement the breadcrumbs function in Yoast SEO, you will have to edit your theme. We recommend that prior to any editing of the theme files, a backup is taken. Your host provider can help you take a backup.
Copy the following code into your theme where you want the breadcrumbs to be. If you are not sure, you will need to experiment with placement:
<?php
if ( function_exists( 'yoast_breadcrumb' ) ) {
yoast_breadcrumb( '<p id="breadcrumbs">','</p>' );
}
?>
Common places where you could place your breadcrumbs are inside your single.php and/or page.php file just above the page’s title. Another option that makes it really easy in some themes is by just pasting the code in header.php at the very end.
In most non-WooTheme themes, this code snippet should not be added to your functions.php file.
Alternatively, you can manually add the breadcrumb shortcode to individual posts or pages: [wpseo_breadcrumb]
If you need more details or a step by step guide, read our Implementation guide for Yoast SEO breadcrumbs.
Yoast SEO provides multiple options for setting a URL or group of URLs to noindex. Read more about how to do this in this guide.
If you’ve crafted nice meta descriptions for your blog posts, nothing is more annoying than Google showing another description for your site completely in the search result snippet.
Possible causes could be:
1. wrong description in code
2. Google cache is outdated
3. Search term manipulation
4. Google ignored the meta description
You can read more here on how to solve the issue with the wrong description.
Yoast SEO is updated every two weeks. If you want to know why, please read this post on why we release every two weeks!
As our free plugin is used by millions of people worldwide, we cannot offer you all one on one support. If you have trouble with the Yoast SEO for WordPress plugin, you can get help on the support forums here at wordpress.org or by checking out our help center at yoast.com/help/.
The plugins you buy at Yoast are called ‘premium plugins’ (even if Premium isn’t in its name) and include a complete year of free updates and premium support. This means you can contact our support team if you have any questions about that plugin.
