Skipping SVGs from optimizations about cloudinary_wordpress

[Vdeub-cloudinary]

Hi @apersky,

SVGs are not supported by WordPress by default, that's the reason why we convert them to a png. When images are getting optimized using f_auto and q_auto, it is usual to get a webp if you are on Chrome.

The best way to not applied transformations to SVGs would be to not sync them with Cloudinary hence you will need to set your sync process to Manual Sync and only push to Cloudinary the files you need.

Hi @Vdeub-cloudinary thanks for the reply.

I am aware that WP does not natively support SVG. But when clients have SVG logos and icons, that's what we need to use. Your plugin converting SVG to PNG is a clear indicator that you are aware that SVGs will end up in the Media Library regardless of if WordPress has native support or not.

However, it is still not feasible to expect a client (or anybody really) to manually sync all assets except SVGs from the Media Library, especially when Cloudinary is added after the fact. Some of our client sites easily have hundreds and hundreds of assets. Manual sync is just not realistic here.

So, back to my original question. Am I using this filter incorrectly? I understand why you are converting SVG to PNG, but I also understand that the point of a filter is so that we the developers can alter this behavior, which is what I am trying to do.

Please advise on the proper use of this filter. Thanks!

Closing as 3.0.0 supports now SVG without optimization.
