“Issue with ‘Convert Images to WebP’ Overwriting Files with Same Name”

Hi @firdausekabengkulu

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Based on my understanding of your description, in ThumbPress, when images are converted to WebP, they retain their original names. This means that if a new image is uploaded and converted, it will overwrite the previous file. Once the conversion is complete, only the new WebP file will exist.

Please let me know if I’ve missed anything or if you need any additional assistance.

Best regards,

You’re absolutely correct, so the old file with the same name gets replaced.
However, this only happens if the files are in the same folder. For example, uploading two files with the same name in the folder 2024/11.

Hi @firdausekabengkulu

Let me clarify this feature of ThumbPress. When it converts an image to WebP, it replaces the previous file while keeping the same name as the original. It does not generate new links for the converted image or retain the original file.

If you upload two files, for example, first upload image.jpg and convert it to image.webp, then again upload image.jpg, there should be no issue created with different files.

There are options to convert, If you want to convert all your images, ‘Covert to WebP‘ that converts all your images from media file. Another way is to go to Modules > Convert to WebP, where you can find the options for Convert Image on Upload and Single Image Conversion.
