Hi Ernest,
Please read my above post first… 😉
I just wanted to tell you that I successfully disabled image resizing for gif files with the code below. This code works, and I have tested it with ASP. I can confirm that the gif animation now works in ASP when rolling over the search result (card). Very cool feature btw!
Apparently this is a very old problem in WordPress that is currently being worked on. There’s more than one trac ticket for it. But it seems like it isn’t fully solved yet from what I read. It made more sense to just disabled image sizes for gifs, since they’re almost always animated anyway.
Here’s the code I used to do this in case you’re interested, or anyone else needs it:
function disable_image_sizes_for_gif_files( $sizes, $metadata ) {
// Get filetype data
$filetype = wp_check_filetype($metadata['file']);
// Check if file is gif
if($filetype['type'] == 'image/gif') {
// Unset sizes if file is gif
$sizes = array();
}
// Return sizes you want to create from image (none if image is gif)
return $sizes;
}
add_filter( 'intermediate_image_sizes_advanced', 'disable_image_sizes_for_gif_files', 10, 2 );All my best,
