WebP not Rendering

Post by dnlyko »

Using PhotoGallery with Light Box Gallery via Fancybox.
webP does display the thumb but when you click and start scrolling through the images, when a webP image is selected it does not render.

Fancybox is a very old (third party) script and it does not support webp.
If you need support for webp, then I suggest to use one of the many other available lightboxes instead.

Back looking for direction. WebP does not render the image when using a single image to view full size. The error received is "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later." As I understand it, Fancybox does not support WebP.

I have a single image on a page in WebP format...Not using a gallery. I simply want to click to enlarge the single image ... as it once worked with fancybox. While I'm not looking for recommendations, I am asking if anybody knows which lightbox I might be able to use (or is better suited) to regain the effect using WebP images?

Current version is WB17 ... but ... I have purchased WB18...just haven't started using it quite yet.

Thanks,

Larry

As of WYSIWYG Web Builder 18.1 update support for WebP was improved for Fancybox.
viewtopic.php?p=482609&hilit=Fancybox+WebP#p482609
- Improved: Added support for webp images to fancybox lightbox
Also WebP requires Window 10 or newer, because it uses Direct2D.

Sorry, yes Bacon is correct. My bad. :oops:
in WB18, fancybox does support .webp.

In addition, it also looks like colorbox and prettyphoto work with .webp.
