WebP converter not converting for mobile?

And to add on to that, I can find the picture in all sizes in the upload folder:

/wp-content/uploads-webpc

So it looks like the picture is there but I don’t know for what reason it isn’t being used or utilized on mobile version. Or it is, but Google prefers even lower sizes than the one I have.

Hi @akristijan,

Thank you for your message.

Tell me please have you read the plugin FAQ? There are answers to many questions. Remember to always read the FAQ of the plugin and other similar threads before adding a thread in the support section.

Many problems could be solved without adding a thread, because the issue has already been raised in the FAQ or another thread. And that saves a lot of time. I will be grateful if you understand me and appreciate your and my time.

The answer to your question is in the FAQ. Please read them carefully, and pay special attention to the question Why are some images not in WebP?.

I read the FAQ… That’s not where the problem lies

“If the converted image in WebP format is larger than the original, the browser will use the original file. This converted file will be deleted. “

Your plugin did convert the image in all sizes, and the image file sizes are a lot smaller than the original in jpeg. I can see it in the folder that I mentioned before, the folder where your plugin keeps the images. However my website is still not using the picture in WebP format. It keeps force using the jpeg version.

There’s no reason not to as every other picture worked fine, and this one should too since it’s meeting your plugins requirements (be of smaller size than jpeg)

I tried even manually converting both image files,

//* WebP converting
do_action(‘webpc_convert_paths’, $public_html/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/woman-wearing-face-mask-using-black-laptop-computer-4031905);
do_action(‘webpc_convert_paths’, $public_html/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/woman-wearing-face-mask-using-black-laptop-computer-4031905-oqwlgwsvb58mka50nzbc26gc9br65vs18qbn634axk);

I followed this step as well because I wanted to test if your plugin got bugged so it was using jpeg by accident:

If you want to force the use of WebP files, uncheck the Automatic removal of WebP files larger than original option in the plugin settings. Then click on the Regenerate All button to convert all images again.

And my website is still using the jpeg version of the website even when I force it to use WebP.

Also to edit my original topic, this doesn’t have to do anything with the mobile version. The issue is same in both PC and mobile version. It’s just that page speed insights notices it for mobile version and that’s why I pointed it out. My mistake

The image is not loaded in WebP format because the file does not exist:
https://dekadakom.com/wp-content/uploads-webpc/uploads/elementor/thumbs/woman-wearing-face-mask-using-black-laptop-computer-4031905-oqwlgwsvb58mka50nzbc26gc9br65vs18qbn634axk.jpg.webp

Is this file on the server in the path specified?

No, the /elementor/ folder doesn’t exist in /uploads-webpc/ folder.

Can I ask you where did you get this specific path?

All the images that WebP converter converts are located in the following folder on my server:

/public_html/wp-content/uploads-webpc/uploads/2020/

I tried going through FAQ again and following all steps.

The only thing I have related to WebP converter in debug.log file is the following line which repeats 212 times:

[18-Jun-2020 08:27:25 UTC] PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/dekadako/public_html/wp-content/plugins/webp-converter-for-media/app/Action/Convert.php on line 28

In DevTools mode and in plugin settings when regenerating all images, there is no error shown.

I manually converted the exact image that’s shown as loading through DevTools, after I applied image sizes through wordpress settings:

do_action(‘webpc_convert_paths’, $public_html/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/woman-wearing-face-mask-using-black-laptop-computer-4031905-oqwlgwsvb58mka50nzbc26gc9br65vs18qbn634axk.jpg);

This is still not converting the image into WebP from jpeg.

I don’t know what to do anymore. Why is this one picture causing problems?

Unfortunately you used the wrong action. It should look like this:

$paths = [
  'public_html/wp-content/uploads/elementor/thumbs/woman-wearing-face-mask-using-black-laptop-computer-4031905-oqwlgwsvb58mka50nzbc26gc9br65vs18qbn634axk.jpg',
];
do_action('webpc_convert_paths', $paths);

Also check if this path is correct.

Hey.

I did as you put it and it still isn’t working. The path is correct. The image is still in jpeg format.

I tried testing it on another PC to avoid cache. Still the same problem.

I tried reuploading the picture again and then doing the action you provided me, now the image is not in jpeg anymore, but it’s also not in webp. It is in text/plain type.

After it was in text/plain, I tried regenerating all images again. Now it turned it to jpeg again.

Do you have the “Automatic removal of WebP files larger than original” option selected in CMS? If so, mark it, save the changes and regenerate the images again.

I did it now. Still the same issue :/

Can you give me access to your website? Please contact me via email (you can find it on my website). Your problem is very strange and it is difficult for me to determine the reason without verification.

Thank you for your effort but I’m sorry, I can’t give you access to the website since it belongs to a firm.

I’ll try to figure it out on my own.

Thanks again for the effort.

Just another thing to add on. I’ve noticed after your last plugin update, the “Regenerate All” option isn’t working. Nothing happens when clicking on it.

That’s all.

Tell me what are your settings in the admin panel? Can you send a screenshot?
