    On startup, I see this error: “Php GD Extension or libavif is not installed/enabled. Please contact the server admin!” I have Ubuntu 22.04 installed on my server. I understand that this system comes with the libavif-dev package. That is, the package is installed, but the plugin doesn’t see it.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the question. Can you please run a PHP script on the same server with the following code and share the output here?

    ‘ print_r(gd_info()); ‘


    So I can have a better understanding of the issue you are currently facing.

    Now the plugin can work without GD or libavif if ImageMagick ver 7.0.25 is present in the server.

    Thank you very much! I will try to install ImageMagick.
    However, after updating the plugin I encountered this error. I had to remove the plugin for a while until the critical error is resolved.

Problem plugin: AVIF Express (version 2023.02.26)
Версия PHP 8.1.14

    I installed ImageMagick version 7.1.0-63 on my server. I tried to install the Avif express plugin again, but a critical error occurs immediately after activation.

    Hi Pressport,
    Yes, it now use Image Magic ver >= 7.0.25 as a fallback for libavif. Many users/servers facing the same issue even without this plugin. Managing server-related stuff is beyond the scope of this plugin.

    The plugin just checks if the image magic version is above 7.0.25 or libavif is installed or not via Php script.

    If you have any specific issue, please mention it. So I can have total exposure to the issue.

    Thanks for your comment. Happy to help

    Regards,
    Pijush G.
