Please add support for WEBP. files

Webp is supported. This is bug, since Exif can not be read from webp. I will fix this as soon as possible.

Also keep in mind, that the message this a warning, not a hard error which would stop the code. The code which tries to read the EXIF data using @exif_read_data(). And if @exif_read_data() can not read the file, it will just ignore it, since the @ in front of the function call tells PHP not to output any warning message even if the call will trigger a warning due to a runtime problem (also see PHP: Error Control – Manual).

In fact it should still work even if there is no fix to avoid calling this function for webp files, you just see a warning in the log. Also do not configure the server to treat warnings as hard errors – this should only be done on a development system.

Yes a patch will block this as it is already the case for other files like SVG, GIF etc. – I will provide an update as soon as possible. In the past there was experimentel webp support implemented as PHP code in the EXIF helper which had been removed due to massive performance issues.

Version 5.8.5 will fix this warning. However due to the new release policy of WordPress, it will take 24 hours before this version is available.
