Lazy Load In Featured Section

Hi, I love the lazy load function, and I was wondering if there is a way to keep it from working on images above the fold as it seems to hang a bit before showing.

Hopefully, that makes sense. Basically just want to have the main images to show when our readers hit the page and then have the lazy load work as they scroll down. It seems to take an extra second to load images that are above the fold and readers just see grey boxes.

Thanks!

It’s not about a plugin conflict.

What I actually stated in my original post was asking if there is a way to have the images on a site load above the fold and then lazy load works from there. Currently, with lazy load ticked, when our site comes up it’s just a grey screen for nearly 1.5 seconds. The reader has to begin to scroll down for those to show up.

As most people know, people don’t begin to scroll down until they see the full picture on an article or frontpage show up.

Hopefully you can understand what I’m saying. Basically, if the images above the fold of the sit can immediately pop up when opened, and then lazy load takes over from that point.

There actually aren’t any plugins that deal with this. Surprisingly no one has offered this fix before.

Hi,

I found the code needed to disable lazyload on an image class. I have searched through the theme editor, but I can’t find any lazyload code.

I’m hoping you can give me the correct newspaper code to add in place of the ‘rocket’ wording. I’ll then be able to also add the code for the front big grid section of the homepage. I think many Newspaper users will find this helpful, especially on mobile devices.

+++function rocket_lazyload_exclude_class( $attributes ) {
$attributes[] = ‘class=”td-post-featured-image”‘;

return $attributes;
}
add_filter( ‘rocket_lazyload_excluded_attributes’, ‘rocket_lazyload_exclude_class’ );+++

This code is from WP Rocket.

What I was doing was showing you the code that will keep lazyload from loading Feature Images to find out how to make it work with the Newspaper Theme.

I’m sorry that my writing is not that good to understand. I am trying to be as specific as possible for you to understand.

The code I sent was code that works universally (in this case it was for WP Rocket) to keep Lazy Load from lazyloading feature images so they come up immediately and then lazyload does its thing for the rest of the page.

I am trying to find out where the code is in Newspaper for the lazyload function so I can apply (and rewrite the code specifically for the Newspaper them) it.
