I’m auto-generating post images woth CyberSEO Pro via OpenAI Model: GPT-Image-1 and importing them into WordPress. I need the featured image/thumbnail and all resized variants to be JPG, not PNG, to save disk space. I’ve enabled PNG→JPG conversion, but the plugin still serves PNG files as thumbnails images 

What I want

All generated images saved and used as JPG (featured image + sizes).

Preferably no original PNG left behind.

What I’ve already configured

CyberSEO Pro → Media enrichment / AI

OpenAI image position: Store in “thumb” custom field

Model: GPT-Image-1

Image size: 1536×1024 (landscape)

Image class: aligncenter

I also regenerated thumbnails after disabling larger sizes, but the front-end still shows PNG

Logs are bellow. Any pointers or working settings would be hugely appreciated—thank you!

CyberSEO Pro → Media handling

Store images locally: ON

Convert PNG images to: JPEG, quality 60

Add to Media Library: OFF

Store base64-encoded images: ON

Media attachments: Do not insert attachments

Post thumbnails: Create from “thumb” custom field

FIFU: OFF

According to your Syndicator log, conversion is not enabled in the settings of this feed. If it was enabled, you would see "Convert image to jpeg with GD" or "Convert image to jpeg with Imagick" in the log.

Export the feed settings to a file and email it to Login to see this link. I will check your settings.

Hello, I have a similar problem.

Until recently, CyberSEO Pro correctly converted imported PNG images to WebP (as configured).
Now, even though the “Convert PNG images to WebP” (60) option is enabled and images are stored locally and added to the Media Library,
all new images remain in PNG format.

Details:
– WordPress [6.8.2]
– CyberSEO Pro [12.040]
– GD WebP support confirmed (Media Handling shows WebP: Yes)
– “Add to Media Library” and “Store images locally” are enabled
– Images are AI-generated (Flux1) and saved as PNG. No other image optimization or manipulation plugins installed
– This worked before, now it does not

Question: Is this a known issue/bug? Has something changed in recent versions that prevents PNG → WebP conversion?
What should I adjust to restore WebP conversion at import?

Does CyberSEO Pro update automatically?

The PNG file conversion issue has been resolved in CyberSEO Pro version 12.041.

The plugin core is updated once a day, but you can always update it manually on the CyberSEO Pro General Settings page.

I appreciate the fast fix. Thank you!

Could you please tell me how to disable automatic updates for CyberSEO Pro?
I want to make sure the plugin doesn’t update by itself, only when I decide to.

The "Disable auto-updates" option has been added in CyberSEO Pro 12.042. It allows you to disable the plugin's auto-updates.
