Hi there,

I don’t know if this makes sense, but i’m trying to upload .webp images on WP. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hi there,

you would need to use an image optimization plugin, most of which are premium such as EWWW or Short Pixel. There is also this plugin:

Hi
I used this code in CODE SNIPPETS..PLUGIN, by one of your advisors, but it does not allow web p
Is it possible this has something to do with my CDN,,,,keyCDN,,,changes have to be made???

//** *Enable upload for webp image files.*/
function webp_upload_mimes($existing_mimes) {
$existing_mimes[‘webp’] = ‘image/webp’;
return $existing_mimes;
}
add_filter(‘mime_types’, ‘webp_upload_mimes’);

//** * Enable preview / thumbnail for webp image files.*/
function webp_is_displayable($result, $path) {
if ($result === false) {
$displayable_image_types = array( IMAGETYPE_WEBP );
$info = @getimagesize( $path );

if (empty($info)) {
$result = false;
} elseif (!in_array($info[2], $displayable_image_types)) {
$result = false;
} else {
$result = true;
}

Can you try the plugin David recommended?

That should be the best solution.

The theme itself cannot control what you can/can’t upload to the WordPress media library as that’s handled by WordPress itself.

Will give it a try
