Is there a way to prevent Ultimate SEO from rewriting the names of images?

As indicated at the top of USU's readme:

Ensure that any non-PHP files for your site don't include these (-p-, -m-, -pi-, -pr-, -pri-, -prw-, -aaq-, -ezp- or -c-) character strings! They'll be rewritten, too, unfortunately!

Oh christ. That explains why this name breaks:

/bmz_cache/c/cb01-p-109png.image.29x40.png

That's the name generated from Image Handler. Is there a way to exclude the bmz_cache directory? Or is it a hard no? (I've already renamed the source file and directory but still was just curious.)

I'm sure there is, but .htaccess directives are kind of like JCL ... I'd need to search for an example that's close to what you want to use as a basis.

Would this happen to work?

# Exclude bmz_cache for ImageHandler
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/bmz_cache/ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]

Running the full .htaccess through an .htaccess tester (https://htaccess.madewithlove.com)

I get the following:

The URL:
https://www.justuptowngames.com/universus-cowboy-bebop-c-2_24/twinkle-murdock-p-847.html

Translates to:
https://www.justuptowngames.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=847&cPath=2_24&

Which is the normal behavior.

Translating:
https://www.justuptowngames.com/bmz_cache/c/cb01-p-109png.image.88x120.png

Before the change above yields:
https://www.justuptowngames.com/index\.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=109&

(which explains why the <img> tag breaks and clicking on the source in my browser inspect tab takes me to another product page)

But adding the lines above to the area just under the # Start Ultimate (SEO) URL's section (but before the RewriteRules of the same) makes it leave it alone.

Nice one!

I'm on the fence as to whether/not to include that in USU's distributed .htaccess file.

I would include it commented out with instructions that "If you notice some of your images being processed through Image Handler 5 isn't working, try uncommenting these two lines out."

Sound like a plan. Would you be willing to create a PR on USU's GitHub? https://github.com/lat9/usu

Will do in a bit. I want to make sure this covers both the Image Handler and main images directory.

And done. (Submitted as a PR)

# Exclude /bmz_cache for ImageHandler
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/bmz_cache/ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]

In short, if the REQUEST_URI that starts with /bmz_cache/ (aka the main directory of ImageHandler's cache) is found, regardless of casing (the [NC]), do nothing with it... and STOP searching for more rule matches ([L]).

# Exclude /images directory in general
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/images/ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [L]

In short, if the REQUEST_URI that starts with /images/ is found, ZenCart's main primary image directory, regardless of casing (the [NC]), do nothing with it... and STOP searching for more rule matches ([L]) .

It gets messy after this point if people put their images in weird, non-standard image directories.
