I have WebP images coming from WP DC SSO connection when creating new posts that create new topics. The Image URLs are valid, accessible even if hotlinked, but DC is instructed to create a local copy. For example this:
However, when the forum sends out emails, and these are embedded, Gmail’s optimization is not compatible I guess with the WebP, thus they appear broken.
I wouldn’t mind just suppressing the images altogether and there is this setting:
strip images from short emails
and short email length
But how do these work exactly and what should I enter to make my outgoing emails image-free, and how weird would that be? Not even the site logo would be present? Any other ideas? It would be best if they were converted to something that Gmail supports. In the auto-created topics the content comes from PHP of WP using a custom implementation instead of the normal excerpt and this ends up in the OP:
Well, this is user generated content, processed by Discourse. So I guess TO is trying to ask is whether this can this be converted to jpg in the background?
They are actually provided by Vimeo API but that’s a different story. Funny how it specifically doesn’t work in Gmail because of their processing, while if it were left alone and the request made normally then it would just work. If they are processing, they could just support it, since they are a big advocate of WebP. Anyway, I’d be fine filtering these images out from emails and merely notifying the user about the topic by title, not using its content.
