Does not work with Imagify + WebP

Hi @kisabelle,

Thanks for reaching out to us! We are currently looking into what it would take for us to support the webp format and can definitely let you know when we have an update to share.

Thanks for your patience and feel free to reach out if there’s anything else we can help with in the meantime.

Hi @wpdrawattention, Imagify support have gotten back to me with a simple and quick solution which you could include in your plugin.

Here is a link to it on Github: https://gist.github.com/markonikolic985/36d58e114474c54e56228e8bd02fbd96

Here is my version – modified to include Draw Attention images

add_filter('imagify_webp_picture_images_to_display', 'imagifySkipPictureReplacement');

function imagifySkipPictureReplacement($images) {
   foreach ($images as $i => $image) {
      $classAttribute = $image['attributes']['class'] ?? '';
      if (strpos($classAttribute,'hotspots-image') !== false
                || strpos($classAttribute,'imagify-skip-replacement') !== false)
         ) {
            unset($images[$i]);
         }
      }
   return $images;
}

Forgot to mention, you can use this check to see if the code should be run:

if ( is_plugin_active( 'imagify/imagify.php' ) {

}

Let me know if you end up adding this to an upcoming update!

@kisabelle Thanks for sending this over. If you need a solution very quickly, you could drop this code into your theme’s functions.php file to make Draw Attention work when Imagify’s webp format option enabled without waiting for us to make any changes to Draw Attention. It just prevents Imagify from replacing Draw Attention images with the webp image format.

We’re still planning to investigate fully supporting webp image format with Draw Attention, which would work with any plugin that is replacing images with the webp format. That way we wouldn’t need to include any plugin-specific code for handling different formats. We’ll keep you posted on what we find out.

@kisabelle Just a note to let you know that in our next release, we’ll have support for using an image optimization plugin that supports webp. We tested with Imagify, ShortPixel, and Optimole and all worked fine. That should be out in a few weeks.
