Original Source cant be opened in Lightboxes

igitt23 December 29, 2023

Hi there, Great Plugin so far! All images for newly uploaded images are in WebP now. That works great!But i run in a little Problem:The images cant be open in a lightbox.I upload a image in PNGThe frontend now shows all kind of sizes in the frontend in WebP.But when i click at the image to open it in a lightbox, it tries to open the original File with a wepb fileextension, wich does not exist. Do you have any fix for that? If i cant open the images in a lightbox this plugin wont help a lot ?? I get an 404 in the dev console after clicking on the image for a lightbox view Thanks for your support!

AVIF not supported

Hans Konings February 1, 2023

I removed the plugin as soon as I saw the AVIF option greyed out. I might try this plugin again once AVIF is supported.

Great!

work fine and simple of usage, it’s a shame for not AVIF compression..

Works great

I am very glad that I can keep the countless image sizes that WordPress itself and all the various plugins that I’m using require more efficiently stored on my server and delivered faster to my visitors. This plugin works great and this functionality should be built into the WordPress core!
