Hi,

It seems this plugin is not supported at all. Do you know another similar plugin to recommend? It should only create webp files and nothing more.
There are multiple webp plugins but they also do many unnecessary things that may break your site.

Thank you in advance!

Got “The GD PHP module needs to be enabled for this plugin to function. Media Webp.” notice on WordPress after installed and activated it?

Check the solution below

• Check if PHP gd extension is enabled on your server. Use the phpinfo() to find it out.
• If enabled you will find GD Support enabled in GD table
• If not enabled, enable the extension
• If GD Suppor enabled but still the notice exist, use PHP gd_info() to get detailed information like this

{
GD Version: "bundled (2.1.0 compatible)",
FreeType Support: "1",
FreeType Linkage: "with freetype",
GIF Read Support: "1",
GIF Create Support: "1",
JPEG Support: "1",
PNG Support: "1",
WBMP Support: "1",
XPM Support: "1",
XBM Support: "1",
<strong>WebP Support: "",</strong>
BMP Support: "1",
JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support: ""
}

It shows that GD extension comes without WebP support.

You have to install php with webp

Good luck ??

Hi,
I have this plugin installed along with CW Image Optimizer. This plugin makes my media WP site extremely sluggish. When I add a new image to a post it takes about 15-20 minutes and WP warns me every minute or so that scripts on my site are slow and whether I want to wait or interrupt them.
Disabling Media WP solves all the issues with the media site – I can browse and add images very quickly.

Hi,
Whenever I edit a comment I get an email about technical problems with this plugin:

Uncaught TypeError: Argument 2 passed to WPST\Media_Webp\Notice::wp_editor_meta_box_action() must be an instance of WP_Post, instance of WP_Comment given, called in /var/www/mysite/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php on line 286 and defined in /var/www/mysite/wp-content/plugins/media-webp/classes/class-notice.php:91

It is quite annoying.

Hi,
i am using webp since some weeks and i love it.
On my blog, i have a lot of pictures on my space.
With webp – i saved a lot of traffic (great for mobile ranking) and increas files to transfer.

I activated the option to display the chrome icon on my media libary.
This causes after some week this issue:

With about 950 Images, wich all have been optimized and generated webp Images, the opening of my media libary takes toooo much time. It take so much time, that my chrome browser asked me to close a not responding website!

To resolved that – i just switched of the option to display the icon in converted media files. I think it take to much time to check each single file for an converted media file.

Maybe this could be improved sometime ?? But i am sure – all my files will be converted ??

Hi,
I would love this plugin if it could convert image.jpg to image.webp instead of image.jpg.webp.
Can it be done via a configuration switch?
Thanks,

Dear Steve,

I’d like to use your plugin, but after I installed and turned on, I got this message:
?The GD php module needs to be enabled for this plugin to function.”
I wrote to webhost provider’s support, and I got an answer, thet the GD module is enabled on server.
Can you help me, what can I do now?

The webp images are generated but is showing .png or .jpg…

If I access the image file directly by typing “image.webp” it redirects to “image.png” only works the webp if I type “image.png.webp”.

I’m using Nginx + Apache and PHP 7.1.

I think your awesome plugin does not support creating images for a child theme. Please add this ability.

Hi,

Your plugins seems nice.
I installed it.
Put the lines into the .htaccess
It converted all my JPEGs and PNGs to webp.
All of them have the chrome logo in the media library
I purged the cache from the site.
And tested my site into Chrome, Opera…
And no webp…

Do you have any suggestions?

Regards,

Laurent

how match compression quality in this plugin?

I am on a shared OVH server with a new WordPress installation.
I search, I can not find the mistake.
As soon as I want to upload a JPEG / PNG image, WordPress will display an error.
Same mistake to convert a file already present in the upload folder.
