## چۈشەندۈرۈش

*** 2022-09-12 UPDATE ***
 @matt published a post and codified a final decision 
that [WebP by default would not be coming to WordPress Core in version 6.1](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/09/11/webp-in-core-for-6-1/).
That being the case, this plugin will not be necessary for users to prevent WebP
generation by default as part of the Core upload process.

Proposed to be included in WordPress 6.0 is a new feature to generate and use webp
images by default. Specifically, when an image is uploaded, a WebP version of every
image subsize is created. According to [the proposal](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/03/28/enabling-webp-by-default/),
one downside is that generating WebP versions along with the original JPEGs will«
use an additional ~70% of the storage space to store both file types.» Although 
this is hugely beneficial to most websites and, more importantly, their visitors,
some site owners may not be immediately able to increase the size of their storage
to accommodate the additional files. For more information, see the proposal or [the Trac ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/55443).

To help site owners manage the transition, this plugin adds a setting under Settings-
> Media to either enable or disable WebP creation on the initial upload of JPEGs.
For Multisite installations, the plugin can be activated network-wide or on individual
sites.

*** 2022-07-22 UPDATE ***
 Although the original implementation was not merged in
6.0 due to community feedback, changeset 53751(https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/
53751) merged an updated implementation that addresses some(but not all) concerns
from the community. This merge will be part of the 6.1 release, unless further changes
are needed. Some site owners may not be able to immediately cope with doubling their
required storage allotment with their host, so the original goal of this plugin 
remains. The code has been updated to disable WebP creation on upload globally. 
There is a new ticket discussing the possibility of making this feature into a setting(
see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/56263). However, given WordPress’s core
philosphy of «Decisions, Not Options», it’s unlikely to proceed.

## ئورنىتىش

 1. Upload the `disable-webp-by-default` folder to the plugins directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ›Plugins‹ menu in WordPress.
 3. Control WebP generation with the new checkbox under Settings -> Media.

Thank you for your work with this plugin (and just keeping track and reporting all
the latest WEBP changes, etc.). Great to find so much useful information in the 
plugin documentation. Very much appreciated!

Thanks so much, like for so many, we are serving WEBP «On The Fly» via a CDN and
have ZERO need for such Core functionality. How hard would it be for WP to give 
users a checkbox to disable this mess? Again, THANKS!

This should be a setting in core, disabled by default.

Thank you for creating this plugin! It’s a shame it’s necessary, but I appreciate
that you created it to make it easier for site owners to be able to take back control
over their sites without needing to know how to add a filter.
