🧠 The Smart Backups & AI Control Update

Release Date: May 5, 2026

✨ New Features

  • Smart Backups: Save disk space by backing up only the main image. When restoring, thumbnails are automatically regenerated based on current settings.
  • Automatic Backup Cleanup: Set rules to automatically delete old backups after a chosen period.
  • Consistent prefix/suffix for AI SEO Data: You can now add fixed text before/after AI-generated image SEO data for full consistency across your site.
  • Custom Media Re-Optimization: Re-optimize images directly from Custom Media bulk actions.
  • Custom Media Pagination: Navigate large media sets more easily with new pagination controls.

⚙️ Improvements

  • Smarter Title Replacement: Image titles are only replaced with AI-generated ones if they haven’t been manually edited (when overwrite protection is enabled).
  • Better Error Messaging: Improved the “401 Unauthorized” message in the AI SEO Preview for clearer feedback.
  • PNG Handling Improved: Improved the PNG to JPG conversion to better handle alpha channels.
  • AI Context Limits: Added proper limits to AI context fields to prevent truncation issues.
  • Bulk Stability: Introduced slight delays in Media Library bulk actions to avoid server overload.
  • Paused Processing Logic: Restoring an item now cancels any paused processing to avoid unnecessary actions.
  • UI Enhancements: Improved text clarity and layout across settings, bulk processing, and the ShortPixel panel in wp-admin.

🔄 Compatibility Updates

  • NextGen Gallery (Imagely): Integration restored using updated hooks and filters.
  • AI with EXIF Restrictions: AI generation now works even if EXIF blocks training (alternative data retrieval is used).
  • Offload Media Support: Improved compatibility with offloading plugins, including full support for the new Smart Backups.
  • Enable Media Replace: Image SEO data is now cleared when an image is replaced.
  • WPML Support: Manually generate AI SEO data in different languages for multilingual sites.

🛠️ Fixes

  • Backup System Refactor: Fixed multiple edge cases and improved reliability across all backup scenarios.
  • Long Processing Safeguards: Added checks for images that take too long to process or become unavailable.
  • Alias API Key Handling: Prevent unnecessary re-queuing for domains not allowed by Alias API keys.
  • AI Disabled Message Cleanup: Removed misleading “AI Generation Disabled” responses to avoid conflicts with editors/builders.
  • Database Optimization: Added indexes for the aipostmeta table for better performance.
  • Queue Stability: Ensure blocked items are released properly on shutdown to avoid stuck processes.
  • JS & jQuery Fixes: Resolved deprecation warnings and improved frontend stability.
  • Filesize Exclusion Fix: Fixed a JavaScript issue that prevented filesize-based exclusions from working correctly.

Update now to unlock smarter backups, better AI control, and improved compatibility across your entire workflow! 🚀
