This plugin is awesome sauce, but I am having one difficulty. It appears as though it only effects images that are output from the_content() and not from the_excerpt() (or in my case, the_excerpt_rereloaded() …) Is there a way to also include images to be included in those instances? (Btw, i’m running wp 2.7.1 at the moment)

Thanks much

This is a great plugin! It let’s me acheive the exact look I was going for on my blog. I know that programming things like this take time and effort. I can’t thank you enough for doing it. In future versions please consider an option that would allow shadows on by default except when a specific class is assigned. Sort of the opposite of what you have now.

Hmm…thinking about it again I’m trying to use it in the loop after all: it’s an image pulled from the post’s meta data

If I try to call render_effects() on the image I want to cache I get an undefined function error…if I try to include the image-shadow.php file in that page it starts giving me ‘can not redeclare’ errors.

hmm…

Anyone got any ideals how we can call this from outside ‘the loop’?

I was hoping to call the render_effects function on the image I want to cache, but that doesn’t work (possibly due to the function not being able outside the loop)

I use this on Hostgator and it works for me. Your string has a missing \ before the final ;

Check it’s there in your CRON job

Anyone know what the cron string would be for hostgator?

This one doesn’t work (yes I entered my own xxx and yyy)
find /home/xxxxxxx/www/yyyyyyyyyyyy/wp-content/plugins/image-shadow/cache/*.jpg -exec rm {} ;

But I get this error:
find: missing argument to `-exec’

Any help is appreciated!

For anyone on shared hosting, using this plugin on sites with a large turnover of images (like auction results for example), you may find the number of cached files reaches your account limit. In which case, if you know how, you can set a cron job in your cpanel to empty the cache every day, week, month etc.

In your cpanel, add a cron job, set the timing and add this as the command to run:

find /home/xxxxxxx/www/yyyyyyyyyyyy/wp-content/plugins/image-shadow/cache/*.jpg -exec rm {} \;

changing the xxxxxxx and yyyyyyyyyyyy to what it should be for your site.

This may well stop your account getting suspended.

Hi!

I installed your plugin – really great job, by the way! – and it works as I hoped it would. However, I realized that the plugin doesn’t work with png files (image is displayed, but no shadow). Is that intended or did I do something wrong?

Mark.

Hi.

I’ve:

plugins/image-shadow/cache 777 Permission

and

whole domain safe_mode off

and I get always:

ImageShadow could not create the cache directory. Check the write permissions of the plugin directory. You may have some luck creating the cache directory by hand.

Help, please.
