Add modern image formats (WebP, AVIF) support to WordPress RSS feeds using Media RSS (<media:content>) tags, automatically wrapped in standard <media:group> tags to ensure compatibility and prevent duplicate image display in feed readers.
- Media RSS Grouping: Wraps original and modern image versions inside a
<media:group>element to comply with the Media RSS specification. - Modern Format Detection: Scans and adds WebP and AVIF image formats automatically if they exist on the server.
- Protocol & OS Resilient: Normalizes protocols (HTTP/HTTPS) and cross-platform directory paths (
/vs\) for reliable file lookup. - iTunes Podcast Support: Includes podcast feed compatibility using the
<itunes:image>tag. - Zero Configuration: Simply activate the plugin, and it works out of the box.
