Webp format and Linkedin cards

[ma00]

Describe the bug

If you post a url with a .webp cover image on linkedin, the image card won't show because the format is not supported.

Expected behavior

Is it possible to get linkedin bot fetch a .jpeg or .png image while still showing the .webp image to regular users?

Thanks for reporting. I guess we may have been a bit too aggressive with the webp implementation. As a workaround, you can set the OpenGraph image in the SEO tab for the page. This should render the image in its original format in the opengraph meta tags.

thanks for the reply. The OG image is still in .webp

<meta property="og:image" content="..../media/images/yes_sign.original.webp">

So the issue here is that I think you are uploading the image to Wagtail in webp format. For SEO purposes, we do not transform the image; it is served directly in original format. Can you try uploading it to Wagtail in JPG or PNG format?

[ma00]

Images are uploaded in JPG format and converted with these settings:

WAGTAILIMAGES_FORMAT_CONVERSIONS = { 'tiff': 'webp', 'jpeg': 'webp', 'bmp': 'webp', 'png': 'webp', 'webp': 'webp', }

Ok, that is the problem. You are forcibly converting all file types to webp. I would recommend removing the WAGTAILIMAGES_FORMAT_CONVERSIONS setting. CRX will automatically use webp in places where it is acceptable.

I removed the lines and now everything started working again, thanks for your help!
