There is an option in SiteMap Plugin to

"Enable Google image and video extension"

When ticked the extra code in sitemap for all images carry the admin url with long query string.

I've deleted all cache and re-created in my offline testing version on my mac but after that it is giving same thing.

Any help ?

If you enable that it links to the full images directly. But of course it must be allowed as we discussed. If you see a query string you probably have the full images set to be protected.

I've not protected any full image.
Do we have option for that to check ?

is what I gets.

Okay I was just checking sources and found that all the cache URI is been getting written with i.php?.........

That is the url to sized image not being cached. But that should not appear on the site map. The only place where this is used in the sitemap is for video items (no full image naturally). Haven't looked at the site map for some time I admit.

loos like solved. enabled Imagic. Disabled Cloudflare and reset the cache ..

the url in source coming up with cache url. hoping to generate sitemap with Google Extension and see if that solves after entire cache of 2000 images beind done.

will update.

finally.

Here is what it represent in latest sitemap.

Hope Google ImageBOT should crawl images.

ok does anybody know about why enable cloudflare and the i.php? string starts to appear in page source instead cache url ?

can somebody open my site and check source and see thumbnail's are still appearing from cache or i.php? query ?

I am still seeing mix results although sitemap appear to be showing cache image url's with Google Image Extension enable ..

Please help.

If an image is not cached always the i.php (image processor) url appears the first time. If Cloudfare caches all initially it does cache that as well since how should it know about that ZP speciality. Also ZP cannot know what cloudfare does.

Okay. SO Is it advisable to keep the Cloudflare off for some time ? Problem is even I've created all the cache with CacheManager ZP wihout Cloudflare shows imageprocessor links in source for some and for some it uses cache. manually varified for that link and found the cache is there but still it does not show.

Just wanted to update that after I enable "Enable Google image and video extension" under SiteMap Plugin.

My Google Webmaster Tools says 1400 images submitted. First time seeing this.
Will update here for how it submits to Googel Images and when the new images and links appear on google.

If your site is relatively static you can use the cache manager to create cache images then turn on Cloudflare. But always caching without knowledge of content can get you in trouble. For instance if it caches a page that requires logon no one will be able to access that page as the logon screen will be what is delivered from its cache.
