y’all! How are you doing?!
I’ve been fighting animated GIF photographs on my web site for some time now, and I found the issue, however not the answer, nonetheless.
After I add an animated GIF as a featured picture for my merchandise, WordPress does it very effectively moreover pointing to a renamed file, as an alternative of the unique, which is stopping animated GIFs from animating.
Let’s say, for instance.
• File uploaded: animatedGIF.gif
• File url when put as featured: animatedGIF-300-x-300.gif
I seen this after I opened the information that weren’t working (immobile) by clicking with the suitable mouse button and opening picture tackle.
After I open the hyperlink, it sends me to this improper picture file vacation spot, on this case: animatedGIF-300-x-300.gif which is humorous, as a result of that’s not the url tackle of the unique file I uploaded (animatedGIF.gif).
One way or the other, WordPress mechanically provides this sufix of “-300-x-300” which prevents my animated GIFs from working, since that’s not the unique URL of the file.
Humorous factor is: I don’t have any picture file resizer plugin for this to occur. I do have, although, Divi with WooCommerce put in, and each doesn’t have picture resizer with them.
Some file I add works like a appeal. Others, the URL is renamed mechanically, pointing to the improper URL of the GIF, which prevents it from animating.
I’m looking for an answer in every single place, and the one factor I discover is concerning the “Full Measurement” factor, however in current WordPress variations, this isn’t even an choice anymore. It doesn’t exist in any configuration of the picture file, specifically when importing it.
Can somebody assist me with this concern?
By the best way, this animateGIF.gif instance is 300×300. Nonetheless, WordPress appears to “resize” it to 300×300 (!?) and rename the URL of the file by itself. So I can’t discover any flip arounds.
What would repair this although, can be manually altering the url of the file, however WordPress don’t let me change it. After I go test the file URL, it’s proper. However after I click on and open the immobile picture with the suitable click on, it sends me to the improper URL, so it doesn’t present as animated.
I’d admire any assist!
Thanks!
