## Beschreibung

Image Format Converter allows administrators to convert images in the WordPress 
Media Library between JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF formats. Using server-side PHP
libraries (GD or Imagick), it ensures high-quality conversions with minimal file
size. Converted images are saved to the uploads folder and optionally added to the
Media Library.

**Features:**
 – Select images via the WordPress media uploader. – Choose target
format (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF). – Configure quality/compression and Media Library
integration via a „Conversion Settings“ button (admin-only). – View server library
status (GD/Imagick/WebP/AVIF) with a „How to Enable GD and Imagick“ button for setup
instructions. – Modern, clean interface inspired by professional design standards(
e.g., TinyJPG-like cards and buttons). – Secure, efficient, and admin-only (no frontend
features).

Access all features on **Media > Image Converter**, with collapsible settings and
instructions.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `image-format-converter` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Navigate to **Media > Image Converter** to convert images, adjust settings, or 
    view GD/Imagick instructions.

## FAQ

### Where do converted images appear?

Converted images are saved in your uploads folder (e.g., `wp-content/uploads/2025/
09/`) with „_converted“ appended (e.g., `image_converted.png`). If enabled (default),
they appear in **Media > Library**. The success notice shows „Image convert complete“
with links to the file and Media Library entry.

### Why don’t I see the converted file?

Check the success/error notice on **Media > Image Converter**. Ensure GD or Imagick
is enabled (see library status). Verify the uploads folder is writable (755/644 
permissions). Check **Media > Library**.

### What do I do if I see „GD: Not Available | Imagick: Not Available“?

Click the „How to Enable GD and Imagick“ button for instructions. Summary:
 – **
Shared Hosting**: Enable „gd“ or „imagick“ in cPanel/Site Tools under PHP Extensions.
Contact support if needed. – **Local (XAMPP/WAMP/MAMP)**: Edit `php.ini` to uncomment`
extension=gd` or add `extension=imagick` after installing ImageMagick. – **VPS (
Ubuntu/CentOS)**: Install `php-gd` or `php-imagick`, restart Apache. – **Cloud (
AWS, DigitalOcean)**: Install extensions or contact support. – **Verify**: Use **
Tools > Site Health > Info > Server** or create `info.php` with `<?php phpinfo();?
>`.

### Does it support AVIF/WebP?

Yes, if GD (PHP 8.1+ for AVIF, 7.1+ for WebP) or Imagick supports them. Check the
library status on the conversion page.

### Why don’t the toggle buttons work?

 * Open Developer Tools (F12 > Console) for errors like „jQuery is not defined“.
 * Ensure `wp-content/plugins/image-format-converter/admin/js/imgfmt-admin.js` exists(
   permissions 644).
 * Deactivate other plugins and switch to a default theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Five).
 * Clear browser cache or test in incognito mode.
 * Enable `WP_DEBUG` in `wp-config.php` and check `wp-content/debug.log`.
 * Verify jQuery loads (F12 > Network > JS).
 * In XAMPP, ensure Apache is running and file paths are correct.
 * Contact support with console errors.

### Can I convert multiple images?

Currently supports single-image conversion. Bulk conversion is planned for future
updates.
