WP Enable WebP

This WordPress Plugin for WebP image uploads enabled WebP image uploads into the media library.

It will also add a class to the body tag for CSS selectors. This is helpful for setting background images.

Example:

selector {

background: url(‘images/example.jpg’);
}

body.supports-webp #selector {
background: url(‘images/example.webp’);
}

Use the function webpSupported() in template files to conditionally show WebP images.

Example:
if (webpSupported()) :
WebP image here
else:
Image with other fallback format here
endif;

Major features in WP Enable WebP include:

• Enabling WebP Image uploads into the media library.
• Browser detection that adds a class to the body tag indicating WebP is supported by the browser.
• Helper function to use in theme template files to check if the browser supports WebP image format.

Upload the “wp-enable-webp” folder to your wp-content/plugins directory, then Activate it.
