What's going wrong
Site owners using this image format plugin report that after images are converted or thumbnails regenerated, pages show broken pictures. Some see missing-image errors, others find WordPress serving AVIF files that fail to load, and the block editor still references the old file extension. Images that worked before stop appearing on the front end. One reporter said generated files were not served at all and support stopped replying. Fixing this calls for a checker that tests image URLs after conversion and a repair tool that rewrites stale references.
