Accounts created before Nov. 1st, 2021
Accounts created before November 1, 2021 have to include /v7/ in the path, like shown below.
//token.cloudimg.io/v7/original_image_url?operations&filters
Accounts created on or after November 1, 2021 do not require /v7/ and documentation have been updated accordingly.
To verify the type of configuration on your Cloudimage account, log in to your Cloudimage admin panel and look at the syntax provided on the Welcome page.
[NOTE] If you are an existing Cloudimage customer and wish to be able to remove the v7 from your URL syntax, please contact our support.
Cloudimage Wordpress Plugin
The Cloudimage Wordpress plugin will automatically adapt the image URLs in your Wordpress site to deliver your images rocket fast over Cloudimage. You only need to register with Cloudimage and install the plugin in your Wordpress site.
If you need to adjust the behaviour of the plugin, please see the Advanced settings.
Step 1 - Create an account if you have not registered already.
You can create an account on the Cloudimage registration page.
Step 2 - Log in to your Wordpress admin panel
Step 3 - On the Admin sidebar, navigate to Plugins > Add New.
Step 4 - Enter "Cloudimage" in the search field and then install our plugin
Step 5 - Activate the installed plugin
Step 6 - Navigate to the Cloudimage admin page
Configurations
You need to enter your Cloudimage account token which you have received upon account creation (step 1).
The v7 option
- Some tokens are associated with a v7 URL, while others are not.
- But not to worry, this plugin automatically checks and sets it for you, all within a few seconds.
- Eg: If you enter a v7 token into the text input field, then a few seconds later, the v7 dial will automatically turn itself on.
- Please be patient and wait for the “The v7 checking process …” message to disappear, before pressing the “SAVE ALL CHANGES“ button.

When to use JS Mode and when it’s better not used
The login option
With this turned on, Cloudimage will only take effect when the user is logged in
Localhost
Please note that Cloudimage will not take effect on localhosts
Advanced Configurations
Global
Disable image downsize filter
ON: disable WordPress’s default image-cropping functionality
Standard Mode
Enable srcset adding
If this is turned off, then “Srcset widths“ will have no effect.
srcset widths (px)
Add more sizes to srcset
Replaceable text
For example
Cloudimage URL: token.cloudimg.io/mywebsite/wp-uploads/2020/image.png Replaceable text: wp-uploads/2020 Replacement text: upload
Then from frontend users will see the image URL as: token.cloudimg.io/mywebsite/upload/image.png
But we need to configure aliases (https://docs.cloudimage.io/go/cloudimage-documentation-v7/en/domains-urls/aliases#529b15ac9a0a51a57837cd9db395aa3311e8434c) in Cloudimage admin and set up the alias upload with value wp-uploads/2020
Replacement text
(See above)
JavaScript mode
Skip classes
Exclude Cloudimage processing by class name
Skip files
Exclude Cloudimage processing by file type, eg “.gif“
Use WordPress filter method
OFF: use ob_buffer PHP function
ON: use the_content filter from WordPress.
Local JavaScript libraries
ON: use Cloudimage JS files from CDN
OFF: use Cloudimage JS files from plugin locally
Ignore image node size
Can become helpful to turn on when using non-standard WordPress themes. Especially for badly-made themes, to compensate for some adverse impact on images.
Save image node ratio
(See above)
Ignore style image size
(See above)
Destroy node image size
(See above)
Detect image node css
(See above)
Process only width
(See above)
Disable setTimeout checks
Better to turn this on when there are AJAX loaded images, so that the late-loaded images don’t miss out on Cloudimage processing
