    Hey Juan Vicente ,

    hope you are having a great day.

    I tried to bulk smush your images but as you reported it stuck (at 66.9% – 263/393 images).

    and I got the following error in the console:

    Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: undefined (attachment ID: 15554){"success":false,"data":{"error":"no_file_meta","error_message":"No file data found in image meta.","file_name":32}}

    This means that the image with ID: 15554 is corrupted.

    There are two ways to fix this issue:

    1. Is to delete and re-upload the corrupted image (ID:15554) after bulk smushing your images.

    2. If you have many corrupted images you can use the following method.

    Create a new MU plugin file like:

    wp-content/mu-plugins/smush-skip-missing-files.php

    (just create the /mu-plugins/ folder if it doesn’t exist already) then insert in there the exact snippet:

    <?php
    
add_filter('wp_smush_image', 'wpmudev_no_smush_img', 10, 2);
    
function wpmudev_no_smush_img($smush, $ID) {
    

    
if(!$ID) {
    
return false;
    
}
    

    
$file_path = get_attached_file( $ID );
    
if(!file_exists($file_path)) {
    
return false;
    
}
    

    
return true;
    
}

    Then try to bulk smush again. I tried to add the code for your but I couldn’t open the cPanel link that you shared with our “live support staff member” as it gives out ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

    Please, let us know how that goes.

    Best Regards,

    Hello Juan Vicente,

    one of our devs responded with the following fix:

    In Smush plugin folder in file core/modules/class-wp-smush-ajax.php on line 748 change:

    'file_name' => printf( to 'file_name' => sprintf(

    I applied this fix for your site then tested bulk smushing and I couldn’t replicate the issue. Your Images were successfully smushed.

    But still, we need your credentials to have a better look on your site.

    Warm Regards,

    Mohammad Sharab
