    Hi Hector, I’m having an issue where svg files I’m using as either first image or featured image are not showing as thumbnails in the recently widget. I’m on PHP 7.

    I can share a url privately with you to take a look if you email me, my username (at)gmail.com

    Forgive me, this was an oversight on my part. I forgot display post thumbnail isn’t checked by default in the widget.

    I can start a new topic, but is there a reason I can’t choose soft crop or hard crop for custom thumbnail sizes in the widget?

    I mixed up my dev and production site, it is indeed not working with svgs. Feel free to email to get the URL.

    Hi there!

    A quick search on Google tells me that apparently WordPress doesn’t support SVG images natively (at least not yet). If this is indeed the case then WPP won’t be able to create thumbnails from SVG files either since WPP relies on WordPress’ WP_Image_Editor class for this specific task.

    There are, however, some plugins /scripts out there that seem to add SVG support. I can help you test this if you want me to. If so, I’ll send you an e-mail 🙂

    I currently have SVGs working as the featured images which display properly, I’m also using them in a slider which are showing properly. SVG images in the body of the post are also showing.

    I’d definitely like to see if we can get this working, maybe some changes to core could be added to make this possible?

    I will await your email 🙂

    Alright then, I’ll get in touch with you as soon as I can 🙂

    I just realized, because the svgs are losslessly scalable I actually don’t even need the plugin to create a thumbnail and instead just use the original image. Perhaps this approach is easier?
