    I installed WebP Express, which seemed easy to work with, but on the work page it shows me this message below requesting some configuration and procedure. Can you solve this? Guiding me with a detailed explanation, step by step?
    Thank you
    “You have turned on “Enable redirection to converter” and “Create webp files upon request?””. However, these features does not work on your current server settings / wordpress setup, because the PHP scripts in the plugin folder (in the “wod” and “wod2” subfolders) fails to run when requested directly. You can try to fix the problem or simply turn them off and rely on “Convert on upload” and “Bulk Convert” to get the images converted.

    If you are going to try to solve the problem, you need at least one of the following pages to display “pong”: wod-test or wod2-test. The problem will typically be found in the server configuration or a security plugin. If one of the links results in a 403 Permission denied, look out for “deny” and “denied” in httpd.conf, /etc/apache/sites-enabled/your-site.conf and in parent .htaccess files.”

    I suggest you take the easy route:

    1. Disable “Enable redirection to converter” and “Create webp files upon request?” on the settings page
    2. Run “Bulk Convert” to convert all images currently in your WordPress
    3. Enable “Convert on upload” to ensure that all future images will also be converted

    I understand why you have suggested your solution. But, if I want to use “Enable redirection to converter” and “Create webp files upon request” what should I troubleshoot on my server? I’m using WampServer on Windows 10 x64 running Apache 2.2.43a and PHP 7.4.0 in a localhost dev environment.
