## Àpèjúwe

This plugin converts every uploaded JPG or PNG image into modern WebP format to 
improve performance and reduce file size.

Key features:
 Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – automatic conversion of JPG and PNG images to WebP
on upload Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – correct generation of all WordPress image thumbnails 
Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – configurable WebP quality level Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – optional maximum
image width (original images are resized before thumbnails are generated) Ìtumọ̀
Yorùbá: – automatic removal of original JPG/PNG files to save disk space Ìtumọ̀ 
Yorùbá: – full compatibility with WordPress “big image scaling” Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: –
automatic alt text generation based on the filename Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – filename sanitization
and collision-safe renaming

All settings apply only to newly uploaded images. Existing media files are not modified.

### Configuration

You can configure the plugin in Tools  Force WebP.

Available options:
 Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – WebP quality (0–100): controls compression 
quality for newly uploaded images Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – Max width (px, optional): limits
the maximum width of original images before WordPress generates thumbnails (0 = 
disabled)

All settings affect only images uploaded after saving the configuration.

## Ìgbéwọlẹ̀

Requirements:
 * Imagick with WebP support * PHP 7.4 or newer

How to install:
 1. Download the plugin or install it from the WordPress Plugin 
Directory. 2. Activate it via the Plugins menu in WordPress. 3. From now on, any
JPG or PNG file uploaded to the Media Library will: Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – be converted
to WebP Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – have the original file removed Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – receive
an alt text based on the filename Ìtumọ̀ Yorùbá: – be renamed to avoid overwriting
if duplicates exist

## FAQ

### Does the plugin modify existing media?

No. The plugin affects only newly uploaded images.

If “Remove original JPG/PNG” is enabled, original files are permanently deleted 
after successful WebP conversion.

### Does the plugin support GIFs?

No. Only JPG/JPEG and PNG are supported. Other formats remain unchanged.

### What happens if the server does not have Imagick with WebP support?

The plugin deactivates itself and displays an admin notice “Please enable Imagick
with WebP support on your server”.

### How can I change the compression quality?

The default is 95%. You can change it in Tools  Force WebP. The new quality will
be applied to all images uploaded after you update the setting.

### Does the plugin generate WordPress thumbnails correctly?

Yes. Images are converted to WebP only after WordPress finishes generating all intermediate
image sizes, so thumbnails work exactly as expected.

### What happens to very large images?

If a maximum width is configured, large images are automatically resized before 
thumbnails are generated. WordPress backup originals are removed to avoid duplicate
files.

### 󠀁[A great plugin.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-great-plugin-468/)󠁿

The plugin is great — the images are really converted to WebP and the original files
are deleted as expected. Congratulations to the developer. But I noticed two bugs:
it seems to interfere with the generation of the site’s thumbnails, so the entire
site ends up loading the full-size image only. Also, the quality level setting doesn’t
work. I tested it by setting it to 10 and then to 90, and the output stayed the 
same. Another idea would be to add a maximum width limiter for images. For example,
when I upload an image, I want it to be converted to WebP and also resized to a 
maximum width of 1000px (of course, this value should be configurable). It would
be great to have this feature.
