Wordpress Auto Settings

I'd like to set the image format of my images to auto and the quality to auto too.

Ive seen in your media library there are settings to generate a URL that will accomplish that.

However, i can't hotlink to outside URL's (like yours) within wordpress and it looks like i can't save those settings to be used whenever the WP plugin requests an image.

It looks like our plugin is delivering the standard version of the image i uploaded, is there any way for me to set the default behaviour to auto format and auto quality?

I don't want to (and cant) alter all the image URL's in my site.

At the moment all cloudinary seems to be doing in WP by default is providing a CDN service with no optimizations at all?

  Hi

  When using our WP plugin, it migrates the existing images to be delivered from Cloudinary but does not automatically change all the old links that are already on the site and apply transformations.

  If you want to update old links with any transformation you could use external tools (like "better search replace") to go over the Cloudinary links and change them to apply the `f_auto,q_auto` transformation.

  You could read a more detailed explanation on how to do that in the link below:

  https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/212835889-How-to-instantly-and-effortlessly-add-optimization-means-to-your-images-on-WordPress-websites

   

  Please note that new images you insert the site can be applied the requested transformation before they are inserted.

   

  Let me know if you have any further questions.
