20241 release

  1. Lazy Loader 8.2.0Latest

    • Tested with WordPress 6.5.
    • Added
    • lazy_loader_generate_noscript filter to allow disabling of noscript element generation.
    • Fixed
    • Updated mastermind/html5 dependency to latest version, which fixes a PHP deprecation notice.

20231 release

  1. Lazy Loader 8.1.1

    • Tested with WordPress 6.1.
    • Fixed
    • Disable lazy loading in TranslatePress editor.

20221 release

  1. Lazy Loader 8.1.0

    • Added
    • Support for input elements of type image.

20215 releases

  1. Lazy Loader 8.0.0

    • Removed
    • Processing of wp_get_attachment_image, introduced in 7.2.0. I just noticed that processing that filter by default may break cases where a wrapper element has the skip-lazy class to disable lazy loading for contained media elements. Lazy Loader is not aware of this when processing wp_get_attachment_…

  2. Lazy Loader 7.2.3

    • Fixed
    • Stop processing embeds, because the lazysizes script is not loaded in the iframe and so the image in the embed can not be lazy loaded.

  3. Lazy Loader 7.2.2

    • Fixed
    • Duplicate images in Ultimate Addons for Elementor widget – thanks @kaggdesign.

  4. Lazy Loader 7.2.1

    • Fixed
    • Missing JS files in SVN repo.

  5. Lazy Loader 7.2.0

    • Tested with WordPress 5.7.
    • Added
    • Process wp_get_attachment_image filter that was added in WordPress 5.6.
    • Changed
    • Updated lazysizes and its plugins to 5.3.0.
    • Fixed
    • Use same escaped version of SVG placeholder for src and srcset to fix a HTML validation error.

20204 releases

  1. Lazy Loader 7.1.0

    • Changed
    • Add timestamp of file modification as version query string to Lazy Loader JS files instead of WordPress version.
    • Fixed
    • Problem with Lazy Loader being active in Oxygen Builder editor.

  2. Lazy Loader 7.0.0

    • If you depend on the aspectratio script of lazysizes somehow that came with the plugin, this release has a breaking change: it removes the aspectratio option (and the script) because it uses inline SVGs as placeholders that have the same effect without needing the aspectratio script.
    • Added
    • Disable core lazy load funcionality that comes with WP 5.5.
    • lazy_loader_attrs_to_strip_from_fallback_elem filter that allows to provide an array of HTML attributes that should be stripped from the fallback element in the noscript element.
    • Changed
    • If width and height attributes are present, the plugin uses an inline SVG to prevent content reflow – thanks to WP.org user lozula.
    • Updated lazysizes and its extensions to version 5.2.2.
    • Fixed
    • Problems with inline HTML comments in script tags. To fix that. inline script elements are no longer wrapped in HTML comments during markup processing to hide them from the parser. That was necessary for DOMDocument() but is not needed when using Masterminds\HTML5() (what Lazy Loader does).
    • Removed
    • Aspectratio option. The change with the inline SVG makes that obsolete.

  3. Lazy Loader 6.0.1

    • Changed
    • Added empty default value for the $content param of Plugin\filter_markup() method to prevent a fatal error that occurs sometimes when Lazy Loader is used with the Content Cards plugin.
    • Check if there is already a script with the lazysizes handle registered and deregister it before enqueuing own version. Fixes issue with Avada theme that includes own version.

  4. Lazy Loader 6.0.0

    • This release requires PHP 7
    • Added
    • Option to process the complete markup of a page instead of only parts of it via the filters (might take a little longer because the plugin needs to process more markup and, if your site contains HTML errors, lead to unwanted behavior, because the DOM Parser tries to correct that).
    • Option to define additional filters for the plugin to process.
    • Ignore patterns for skip-lazy class and data-skip-lazy attribute. Use them if you want Lazy Loader to ignore an element and its children. The disable-lazyload class and data-no-lazyload attribute will keep working for backwards compatibility. Adding the new class and attribute goes back to an initi…
    • Added donation link to plugin header.
    • Changed
    • Updated required PHP version to 7.0.
    • Security improvements via escaping and specifying allowed HTML in setting descriptions. Thanks @igmoweb
    • Simplified Plugin\add_noscript_element() method. It just clones the source element now, instead of creating a new empty element and adding all attributes to it.
    • Check markup for [caption] shortcode to prevent duplicated images in Elementor.
    • Class properties are private now.
    • Fixed
    • Error with invalid attribute names in Plugin\add_noscript_element() method.

    • Check if a post type supports custom-fields before loading block editor script.

  4. Lazy Loader 5.0.0

    • Changed
    • Increased priority for the calls of the_content and post_thumbnail_html filters from 500 to 10001 to fix issues with the ShortPixel Image Optimizer. So if you use those filters and they need to run after the Lazy Loader, you need to increase the priority, too. This is the change that makes it a maj…

  7. Lazy Loader 4.0.0

    • Tested with WordPress 5.1.
    • Changed * Renamed object in main plugin file from $plugin to $lazy_loader to make it accessible via the theme. * Added an example for calling the filter_markup() method of the plugin from the theme to modify markup of not-supported image functions like wp_get_attachment_image(). * Updated lazysizes…
    • Fixed
    • Wrong year in changelog for 3.5.0 and 3.5.1. Thanks @pra85!
    • Correctly remove the plugin options from the options database table on uninstall.
