How this articles can help me?

You support webp in Page Builder Pages.
Why not in SP Image Gallery?
This means the product is unusable. That makes no sense.

Hi Klaus,

Use this most popular method:

Clear browser cached files.
Check Admin & SPPB using **Incognito Mode** (each browser has it).
You can use also 2nd browser and deep refresh.
Then as last step - Clear Joomla cache.
Sometimes you have to wait (5-10-15min) becuase server file cache. 

    If this will not help let me know, but I hope it will.

Hi Paul,

I got a error message when save a image in SP Simple Portfolio and SP Easy Image Gallery:

imagecopyresampled(): Argument #2 ($src_image) must be of type GdImage, null given

The image-typ is webp.

Is that the reason?

Greetings

I ran into the same issue when trying to change the album cover image in SP Easy Image Gallery on Joomla 5:

imagecopyresampled(): Argument #2 ($src_image) must be of type GdImage, string given

Here's how I fixed it:

Enabled WebP support in Joomla:

Go to:
System > Global Configuration > Media

Add "webp" to the list of allowed file extensions:

webp

And also add the MIME type:

image/webp

Modified the gallery helper file:

Path:
/administrator/components/com_speasyimagegallery/helpers/speasyimagegallery.php

In the createThumbs() function, I added WebP support.

For loading WebP images, I added:
case 'webp': $img = imagecreatefromwebp($src); break;

For saving thumbnails as WebP:
case 'webp': imagewebp($new, $dest); break;

Verified that PHP has GD with WebP support (you can check this using phpinfo()).

After this fix, everything works fine — for JPG, PNG, and WebP.

You can see it live on my site:

Hope this helps others too.
