Frequently Asked Questions

How does the plugin work?

The plugin hooks into the WordPress media upload process and converts supported image files (PNG, JPG, JPEG) to WebP format automatically using the GD library.

Do I need any special server requirements?

Yes, your server must have the GD library with WebP support enabled. Contact your hosting provider if you’re unsure.

Will the original images be deleted?

By default, the plugin keeps the original images intact. You can modify this behavior in the plugin code if necessary.

What happens if WebP is not supported on my server?

If WebP support is unavailable, the plugin will log an error and skip the conversion process.

Is this plugin compatible with caching plugins?

Yes, it is compatible. However, for caching plugins to serve WebP images, you may need additional configuration depending on your caching solution.

How can I check if my server supports GD WebP?

You can check this by running a PHP info script or contacting your hosting provider for confirmation.

What if I encounter an error?

Ensure that WP_DEBUG is enabled in your WordPress configuration file (wp-config.php) to log errors. Check the WordPress debug log for any error messages related to the plugin.
