How to fix poster image not showing up with Ewww image optimizer

Ewww image optimizer optimizes all newly added images if the plugin is active. I’ve never had any issues until I added one as a poster image and it was using the webp version of it.

To fix this you add the keyword to the image file name, I used “nooptimize”

/image-file-name-nooptimize/

Then, you add that keyword within the JS WebP and Picture Web Exclusions settings of Ewww Image Optimizer

You will usually find this in:
