webp support added

I’ve managed to add support for the WebP format. Both developers and users can contact me to obtain it.Special thanks to Mr. Wojtek Szałkiewicz, the original developer.

sometimes doesn’t work

I positioned my watermarks in the bottom right corner as a small logo and text. It works for most images. However, for some, the logo is large and centered, obscuring large portions of the image.

WP Version 5.8.1 It’s still working!!

Despite the naysayers the plugin is still working in November 2021 – all credit to the developer. All hail Gregory Cornelius!!
