License: GPLv2 or later WordPress plugin to enable WebP image uploads.
This WordPress Plugin for WebP image uploads enabled WebP image uploads into the media library.
It will also add a class to the body tag for CSS selectors. This is helpful for setting background images.

selector {
background: url(‘images/example.jpg’);
}
body.supports-webp #selector {
background: url(‘images/example.webp’);
}
Use the function webpSupported() in template files to conditionally show WebP images.
Example:
if (webpSupported()) :
WebP image here
else:
Image with other fallback format here
endif;
Major features in WP Enable WebP include:
Upload the “wp-enable-webp” folder to your wp-content/plugins directory, then Activate it.
