Great plugin! Just what I needed (Just a warning for polylang users)

I just wanted to leave a review to say that this is a great plugin. I’ve been trying to get the editors of my blog to upload images using webp for a long time in order to save space and improve speed. But it was too much effort for them to do it manually every time, so I was looking for a plugin to do it automatically. All the others I saw had some limitations on the free version that made it impossible to use. But this one just does what I need, so I’m glad to have found it.

Just a warning for Polylang users. If you don’t want PixelCraft to store the original images after converting them to webp, make sure that in the settings of Polylang the “Media” translation module is disabled. Otherwise the original image won’t be deleted and they will just sit in your uploads folder silently taking up space.

This is caused by Polylang stopping the deletion of attachment files by adding a filter to the “wp_delete_file” function used by the PixelCraft plugin and stopping it from deleting the file. This is not really a bug in PixelCraft itself, just a consequence of the unpredictable ways plugins interact with each other due to the architecture of WordPress code itself. Therefore I won’t lower my review. But if in a future update a feature to avoid this problem was implemented in PixelCraft, that would be awesome. It’s not really an issue for me, but for people who are not able to look through the code it would be very hard to understand what is happening if they run into this problem.

Anyway, thanks again for the work that went into making this plugin.
