Hi Ian – since this is an older post (about 4 years old at this point), there are probably some things that would need to be updated to work with the latest version of WordPress.

With WordPress’ own handling of responsive images over the years, I haven’t really had a need to go back to the plugin so I’m sure it’s pretty well out of date at this point.

I’m following this repository on github. Meanwhile, I (finally) found something else which does this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/responsify-wp/

That’s the next step!

Actually, the next step is to see about working with the existing responsive image markup in the latest version of WordPress to make the plugin not only lighter but to also cut down on the legwork the user has to do.

The final goal is to make it so that you wouldn’t have to add and edit a JavaScript file at all, but I wanted to get something “on paper” as a proof of concept to get the ball rolling.

Thanks so much for reading!

This looks pretty cool!
Is there any way to add all this stuff to all the pics in wordpress? Talking in numbers, at this moment one of my blogs host a 365 project with close to 1000 posts (30 to go), in each of them there are at least 1 pic, in some of them 2, 3, 4…10 and so no, depends on the day. I won’t edit manually all of them of course hahaha so, how to implement in all those pics?
Take into account that I’m not a plugin developper, I know something about PHP, CSS and that’s all, but just few things ( 🙁 I want to study more but I don’t have the time to do so :'( sad)
In that way I want it! 😀 You rock!!
This is a must in every blog 🙂

If I can get a Bon Jovi song stuck in somebody’s head as a part of my day job, then I think I’ve done a pretty good job.

This will work with images inserted into the theme using WordPress’ template tags; for instance, get_the_post_thumbnail() which you can read more about here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_post_thumbnail/

Thanks for reading, and let us know how it turns out for your project!

First, thanks a lot. I was sitting here perfectly content, but now I have “Living in a Prayer” running through my head!!
Seriously though, I’m so glad I ran into this. I have a project I need to test this on right now. So to be clear, it won’t work with the media uploader or with any slider plugins. The image must be entered manually in HTML so as to have the data attributes in it, is that correct?

The WordPress name and logo can be used if the following criteria are met, according to the WordPress Trademark Policy: http://wordpressfoundation.org/trademark-policy/

– The primary purpose of your project is to promote the spread and improvement of the WordPress software.

– Your project is non-commercial in nature (it can make money to cover its costs or contribute to non-profit entities, but it cannot be run as a for-profit project or business).

– Your project neither promotes nor is associated with entities that currently fail to comply with the GPL license under which WordPress is distributed.

That being said, right now the plugin is in a work-in-progress/proof-of-concept stage and if we got to the point where we wanted to toss it up onto the plugins repo, we’d likely run it through the WDS branding (and hype) machine.
