Compressed webp images not used

Hi @francois5001,

Thank you for your message. Tell me please have you read the FAQ and other threads in the support forum?

Always adding your thread, read plugin FAQ and other threads in support forum first. Perhaps someone had a similar problem and it has been resolved. This will save time repeating the same issues many times and solving the same problems.

In one of the FAQ questions you have a description of what information should be provided so that I can help you. Thank you in advance!

If you do not find anything and you still have a problem, then contact here. I will be happy to help you!

Hi Mateus,
I have read many topics, the issue stills “not working”, but I can’t find any real solution for me.
Please give me instructions on how to validate if the plugin is correctly configured. (a checklist would be nice)

I am on Windows 10, with Chrome and Firefox (they can read a webp file)

Thanks for your help

Fran?ois.

Thank you so much for your time. You helped me a lot.

The problem is that your server does not understand the rules stored in the .htaccess file. You use LiteSpeed, I tested it on Apache and Nginx.

Can you contact your Administrator and ask why these rules do not work?

Hi Mateusz,

you are correct, the server is configured to handle Litespeed but for the production site only, however my t7 dev site doesn’t use the Litespeed plugin, and no other caching manager is used.

Is Litespeed server interferes with “WebP Converter for Media” plugin, even if t7 dev doesn’t use it ?

For the test, I just enabled Litespeed plugin on t7 dev without any Media action, just the caching, unfortunately, the result is the same: Chrome stills see original JPG files.

Thanks again.

Fran?ois

You have converted images in the /wp-content/uploads-webpc directory, so the plugin works. All the rest I do the rules in the .htaccess file. They decide to replace the source of the file loaded from /wp-content/uploads/ to /wp-content/uploads-webpc/.

In case of your server it doesn’t work, where on Apache there are no problems with it. It is hard to help me in this case, although I would love to.
