PDF Thumbnails Support Test

Description

This will quickly tell your server has all the software installed to take advantage of WordPress 4.7’s built-in PDF thumbnail generation. Some plugins may shim the functionality in other ways. This test only concerns the native WordPress functionality.

From Sterner Stuff Design.

Tests:
* ImageMagick
* Imagick PECL Extension
* GhostScript
* Your WordPress Version

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.

Installation Instructions

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/plugin-name directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.

Where is it?

Find this under Tools.

It says my server isn’t supported but PDF thumbnails still work?

Congratulations! Other plugins may shim the functionality using other software. This is more useful for when things aren’t working.

I have out of date server software. Now what?

Contact your hosting provider. Hopefully they can get what you need installed. Be sure to tell them exactly what you need.

My WordPress is out of date. Now what?

Update your WordPress, either yourself or by contacting your website provider. WordPress updates include security patches, so you really should do this anyway.

Didn't work for me

It told me the server was missing ImageMagick. The hosting servive (WP Engine) said it was installed. I used the built in Site Health info to verify that it was indeed installed. I think this plugin is no longer supported or working properly.

Seems to work!

Seem to report correctly, it says I should be able to get PDF thumbnails, and it is true.

Helped sort my issue

Quickly told me that two of the packages were installed correctly and one was missing. Save a lot of time. Thanks!

Does exactly what it says on the tin...
