  • Works well for me.

    The addon allows me to upload .webp images to an older version of Wordpress that I use. So, for me, it works perfectly. Thanks!

  • Unfortunatelly, doesn`t work

    Wordpress 5.9.2, Woocommerce 6.3.1. By importing products via Import an error: "Invalid image: Sorry, you are not allowed to download this type of file" appears.
