How to use on Localhost?

    Hi there, I have success with this plugin when using my staging site, but not on local host. I specifically just want the plugin to generate the same size version of my current uploaded image to a destination folder, so I can then reference it in my code manually. I’ve also noticed it doesn’t generate the source size of the image, just 2 smaller versions in .webp format (on my staging site).

    Short: How to use with local, and generate the src image size not 2 smaller versions.

    Hi,

    The plugin should work on localhost. So it should not be the fact that it is run on a local host that is the problem. It is probably something about the server setup you have on your localhost.

    WebP Express generates the webp files that is requested – when needed. You cannot configure it to not generate webp versions of the thumbnails.

    However, as to what you are trying to do, you are in luck. I just released 0.11 which includes two new features. One of these features is the “Convert non-existing webp-files upon request”. This allows you to reference webp files even before they are converted! The other feature is “Alter HTML”, which can generate picture tags for you. Check it out!

    Hi thanks for the Reply @roselldk!

    What kind of server settings could affect the webp not generating? I’m uploading an image directly to WordPress and not seeing anything generate in the webp-express/webp-images folder ?? I’m using DevilBox with Docker and I just realized I didn’t have an htaccess in the root folder of my WordPress on local, so just added that but the problem still persists. Any idea? thanks man!

    Hi @devmoo, did you ever manage to make this work? I am running into the same problem and haven’t got a clue how to fix this…
