README

ResponsivePics is a WordPress plugin that enables WordPress theme authors to automatically resize images^* in responsive layouts.

• Saves bandwidth and lets your site load faster
• No need anymore for defining custom image sizes
• Adds retina support to your theme images
• Supports art-directed responsive images
• Supports image srcset & sizes attributes
• Supports focal point based crops
• Supports aspect ratio based crops
• Supports WebP images (requires Wordpress 5.8 or higher)
• Supports LQIP (low quality image placeholder)
• Supports lazyloading
• Supports intrinsic ratio boxes
• Supports offloading media to S3 storage with WP Offload Media (Lite)
• Supports WP REST API
• Uses background processing for resize- and crop tasks

_{^{*ReponsivePics does not handle images in the WordPress wysiwig editor, it’s only useful for theme authors that use images or photos in their themes. It automatically handles retina or hdpi images via media queries.}}

Browser Support

Currently the <picture> element and srcset and sizes attributes on the <img> element are supported in all modern browsers except Internet Explorer 11.

In order to enable support for the picture element and associated features in browsers that do not yet support them, you can use a polyfill. We recommend using Picturefill.

To install Picturefill in your wordpress theme as a node module, run the following command from your theme directory:

npm

npm install --save picturefill

Yarn

yarn add picturefill

And import the package in your theme’s global javascript file: import 'picturefill';

Configuration

ResponsivePics uses the following default variables:

Variable	Type	Default	Definition
$columns	number	12	The amount of columns your grid layout uses
$gutter	number	30	The gutter width in pixels (space between grid columns)
$breakpoints	array	['xs' => 0, 'sm' => 576, 'md' => 768, 'lg' => 992, 'xl' => 1200, 'xxl' => 1400]	The media query breakpoints ResponsivePics will use for creating and serving your image sources
$grid_widths	array	['xs' => 576, 'sm' => 540, 'md' => 720, 'lg' => 960, 'xl' => 1140, 'xxl' => 1320]	The maximum widths of your layout in pixels ResponsivePics will use for resizing your images
$max_width_factor	number	2	The maximum factor of the width to use for resizing and cropping the height of an image source
$lazyload_class	string	lazyload	The css class to be added on the img tag when lazyload is enabled
$lqip_width	number	100	The image width to be used for the LQIP (low quality image placeholder)
$lqip_class	string	blur-up	The css class to be added on the img tag when LQIP (low quality image placeholder) is enabled
$image_quality	number	90	The image compression quality in percentage used in the WP_Image_Editor when resizing images
$wp_rest_cache	boolean	false	Wether to enable cache in the WP Rest API response headers
$wp_rest_cache_duration	number	3600	The cache duration (max-age) in seconds of the WP Rest API Cache-Control header

By default, ResponsivePics will use the Bootstrap 4 SCSS variables for defining:

The amount of grid columns: $grid-columns: 12;
The grid gutter width in pixels: $grid-gutter-width: 30px;
The grid breakpoints in pixels:

$grid-breakpoints: (
  xs: 0,
  sm: 576px,
  md: 768px,
  lg: 992px,
  xl: 1200px,
  xxl: 1400px
);

And the maximum widths of the containers in pixels:

$container-max-widths: (
  sm: 540px,
  md: 720px,
  lg: 960px,
  xl: 1140px,
  xxl: 1320px
);

Note: ResponsivePics will add the xs container max width for you (= 576), based upon the default sm grid breakpoint (= 576px).

If you have customized the bootstrap defaults or if you’re using a different grid system (Foundation, Materialize etc.), or even if you want to add extra breakpoints & container widths, you can pass your own grid variables to the ResponsivePics library.

Add these lines to your theme’s functions.php and make sure to check if the ResponsivePics class exists:

/*
 * Set ResponsivePics variables
 */
if (class_exists('ResponsivePics')) {
  ResponsivePics::setColumns(12);
  ResponsivePics::setGutter(30);
  ResponsivePics::setBreakPoints([
    'xs'    => 0,
    'sm'    => 576,
    'md'    => 768,
    'lg'    => 992,
    'xl'    => 1200,
    'xxl'   => 1400,
    'xxxl'  => 1600,
    'xxxxl' => 1920
  ]);
  ResponsivePics::setGridWidths([
    'xs'    => 576,
    'sm'    => 768,
    'md'    => 992,
    'lg'    => 1200,
    'xl'    => 1400,
    'xxl'   => 1600,
    'xxxl'  => 1920
  ]);
  ResponsivePics::setMaxWidthFactor(4);
  ResponsivePics::setLazyLoadClass('lozad');
  ResponsivePics::setLqipWidth(200);
  ResponsivePics::setLqipClass('blurred');
  ResponsivePics::setImageQuality(85);
  ResponsivePics::setRestApiCache(true);
  ResponsivePics::setRestApiCacheDuration(86400);
}

png	image/png	When the png contains an alpha channel, an extra 'has-alpha' class will be added to the picture image element for additional styling.
gif	image/gif	When the gif is animated (it will check for multiple header frames), no image resizing or cropping will be done to prevent discarding the animation.

Any other image formats, will not be resizes or cropped.

Sizes

Image sizes

The following syntax is available for each image size in the sizes parameter:

breakpoint:width

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Definition
breakpoint	number or string	yes		If undefined, and width is a number, breakpoint will be the same as the width. If undefined, and width is a column definition, breakpoint will be the corresponding breakpoint (e.g. if width is 'xs-8', breakpoint will be 'xs').
width	number or string	yes		A column definition is a key in $grid_widths plus a dash and a column span number (e.g. 'xs-8'). If the column span number is suffixed with -full (e.g. 'xs-8-full'), the column width is calculated as a percentage of the $grid_width, but as the next matching $breakpoint width (like in a .container-fluid). You can also use full as span number (e.g. 'xs-full') for full width size based upon next matching $breakpoint width.

Picture & background sizes

Since the <picture> element and background images support art directed images, the following full syntax is available for each image size in the sizes parameter:

breakpoint:width [/factor|height]|crop_x crop_y

The following parameters are available in the sizes syntax:

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Definition
breakpoint	number or string	yes		If undefined, and width is a number, breakpoint will be the same as the width. If undefined, and width is a column definition, breakpoint will be the corresponding breakpoint (e.g. if width is 'xs-8', breakpoint will be 'xs').
width	number or string	yes		The desired (max) width of the image (e.g. 800). A column definition is a key in $grid_widths plus a dash and a column span number (e.g. 'xs-8'). If the column span number is suffixed with -full (e.g. 'xs-8-full'), the column width is calculated as a percentage of the $grid_width, but as the next matching $breakpoint width (like in a .container-fluid). You can also use full as span number (e.g. 'xs-full') for full width size based upon next matching $breakpoint width.
height	number	optional		The desired (max) height of the image (e.g. 500).
factor	number	optional		A crop-factor of the width for the desired height within the default range of 0-2 (e.g. 0.75).
crop_x	number or string	optional	c	Crop position in horizontal direction (e.g. c). See the Cropping section for more information.
crop_y	number or string	optional	c	Crop position in vertical direction (e.g. b). See the Cropping section for more information.

Cropping

The following options are available as valid crop positions:

Crop position shorthands

You can use the following crop position shorthands in horizontal direction (x):

• l: left
• c: center
• r: right
• f: focal point (See the Focal Point section for more information)

And in vertical direction (y):

• t: top
• c: center
• b: bottom

If the vertical direction is not set, the horizontal direction x will be treated as a shortcut:

• c: center center
• t: top center
• r: right center
• b: center bottom
• l: left center
• f: focal point (See the Focal Point section for more information)

Crop position percentages

You can also use percentages as valid crop position syntax:

• 75 10: 75% from left, 10% from top
• 25 80: 25% from left, 80% from top
• 50 100: 50% from left, 100% from top (equals center bottom)

In this case both the coordinates x and y need to be passed.

Focal Point

When you want to crop an image but keep a certain area of the image in view, you can use the f(ocal) shorthand feature. In order to set this focal area of an image, we added a focal point picker interface to several views of the Wordpress media framework.

Attachment Details

When clicking on a thumbnail from the Wordpress Media Library grid view, you will see the Attachment details modal. This will be the most accurate view to select your focal point:

Featured Image

When setting or replacing an featured image in a page or post, you will see the Featured image modal. In this view you can select your focal point in the thumbnail at the top of the right sidebar:

Edit Image

When uploading or editing an image in the WYSIWYG editor or meta field in a page or post, you will see the Edit image modal. In this view you can select your focal point in the thumbnail at the top left:

There are 3 ways you can set the focal point of an image with the interface:

• By directly clicking on the desired focal point in the image.
• By dragging and dropping the focal point circle element on the image.
• By entering the Focal Point X & Y-axis values as percentages directly in the attachment input fields.

By using one of these options a post meta key named responsive_pics_focal_point will be added or updated to the attachment with an array value containing the x & y coordinates as percentages:

[
  'x' => '86',
  'y' => '39'
]

To use this value elsewhere in your theme, you can retrieve it by calling:

$focal_point = get_post_meta($attachment_id, 'responsive_pics_focal_point', true);

Process

1. When visiting a front-end page and a ResponsivePics function call is made, this library will add the resize and/or crop image task as a job to the background process queue using Action Scheduler.
2. On every page load or on the next cron interval, Action Scheduler will run the next batch of jobs in the background process queue. See the Cron section for more information.
3. When a job is up next in the queue and ready to be processed it will execute the resize and/or crop task and save the image in the same location as the original image when successful and it will remove the job from the queue.
4. Once the image variation is created, it will skip the process of that variation on the next page load.
5. When you change one of the image size parameters, it will automatically try and create the new image variation on the next page load.
6. When the original image does not meet the dimension requirements of the requested image size, it will skip that image size variation and proceed to the next image size.
7. Alt text will automatically be added on the picture img element if the original image in the media library has one.
8. When deleting an attachment from the library, it will also delete all the resized images created by this plugin.

Background Processing

The background processing library Action Scheduler has a built in administration screen for monitoring, debugging and manually triggering scheduled image resize jobs. The administration interface is accesible via:

Tools > Scheduled Actions

Every resize job will be grouped by it's wordpress image id

Cron

When you are using the built-in WP-Cron, the background process queue will only process any tasks on every page load.
If you have disabled WP-Cron in your setup and you are using your own cron job on your server, Action Scheduler will use the interval set in that cron job to process the next batch of jobs.

define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);

If you're using Trellis like us ❤️, the default cron interval is set to every 15 mins.
You can override this to for example 1 mins with setting the cron_interval (or cron_interval_multisite for multisite) variable per wordpress site to */1:

In for example trellis/group_vars/development/wordpress_sites.yml:

wordpress_sites:
  example.com:
    site_hosts:
      - canonical: example.test
        redirects:
          - www.example.test
    local_path: ../site # path targeting local Bedrock site directory (relative to Ansible root)
    admin_email: [e-mail]
    multisite:
      enabled: false
    ssl:
      enabled: false
      provider: self-signed
    cache:
      enabled: false
    cron_interval: '*/1'

Don't forget to re-provision your server after changing this value.

Error handling

If an error occurs during the resizing process or if there's invalid syntax, ResponsivePics will display or return an error.

Features

S3 Offload

When you installed and activated the WP Offload Media (Lite) plugin, this library automatically:

• Will offload any resized/cropped image generated by this plugin to your configured S3 storage provider.
• Will delete any resized/cropped image generated by this plugin in your configured S3 storage provider when deleting an attachment.

NOTE

When the Remove Files From Server option is activated in the Offload Media Lite settings, this plugin will NOT remove any resized/cropped image generated by this plugin!

Lazyloading

When enabling the lazyload option in the get_picture or get_image functions or API endpoints with a boolean value true, this library automatically:

• adds a lazyload class to the <img> element.
• swaps the srcset with data-srcset attribute on the picture <source> or the <img> elements.

This will enable you to use a lazy loading plugin such as Lazysizes.

You can also set your own lazyload class by passing it to ResponsivePics library in your theme’s functions.php:

if (class_exists('ResponsivePics')) {
  ResponsivePics::setLazyLoadClass('lazy');
}

To install Lazysizes in your wordpress theme as a node module, run the following command from your theme directory:

npm

npm install --save lazysizes

Yarn

yarn add lazysizes

And import the package in your theme’s global javascript file:

import 'lazysizes';

When enabling lazyload with a string value native, this library automatically:

• adds the native loading="lazy" attribute to the <img> element.

LQIP (Low Quality Image Placeholder)

When enabling the lqip option in the get_image function or /responsive-pics/v1/image API endpoint, this library automatically:

• adds a blur-up class to the <img> element.
• adds a fallback src attribute on the <img> element with a low quality placeholder image with a default width of 100px.

This will enable you to style your placeholder image before the actual high quality image is loaded.

You can also set your own lqip class by passing it to ResponsivePics library in your theme’s functions.php:

if (class_exists('ResponsivePics')) {
  ResponsivePics::setLqipClass('blurred');
}

Intrinsic Aspectratio

When enabling the intrinsic option in the get_picture function or /responsive-pics/v1/picture API endpoint, this library automatically:

• adds a intrinsic class to the <picture> element and a intrinsic__item class to the picture <img> element.
• adds data-aspectratio attributes on the picture <source> and <img> elements with the calculated source image ratio.

This will enable you to pre-occupy the space needed for an image by calculating the height from the image width or the width from the height with an intrinsic plugin such as the lazysizes aspectratio extension.

To use the Lazysizes aspectratio extension in your wordpress theme, first install lazysizes as a node module as described in the Lazyloading section and import the extension in your theme’s global javascript file:

import 'lazysizes/plugins/aspectratio/ls.aspectratio.js';
