    Hi,
    Thank you for providing this plugin, it looks like it is what I need.
    I have a few questions I’d love to know before trying it:

    It is clear for the new uploads, but how the image regenerate works if you have a LOT of images ? (like 60+GB of it)

    1) Will it recreate 1 webp image for each images you have in your wp-content?
    What if you have 1 image in 7 different sizes, will it recreate 7 of them ?
    If so, it will grow drastically the images folder size on the folder.

    2) I’m thinking on maybe doing the regenerate on my local, Will it work well if I upload the new folder /wp-content/uploads-webpc/ directly into my server ??

    3) I saw you explain how to change the image upload directory, but I’m a bit confused where to add your codes ? ( in function.php )
    I’d like to have the new webp images to also go on my wp-content/uploads structure (year/months/day/…jpgs) can you explain how to easily do that?

    4) You mentioned as well that you when you delete the plugin it will also delete the webp images created. Even if they are uploaded in a different directory structure? And can you turn this option off ?

    5) How to check with the dev tool if the image is properly served in Webp format?

    Let me know and thank you again for your help to make the web faster ??

    Cheers!

    Hi @trendland,

    Thank you for your message.

    1. Yes, all sizes of the image are generated.

    2. You don’t have to worry about that if you have a free hosting space. The server converts each image in turn, so you can convert even many images. But if you want you can do it locally and send it.

    3. By default, the images are in the /wp-content/uploads-webpc/ directory. You can’t transfer them to /wp-content/uploads/, because then there is a risk of tampering with the original files. The filters you add in the functions.php file in your theme.

    4. Yes, it will work in a different structure, but this structure cannot be /wp-content/uploads/.

    5. Read the plugin FAQ, there you will find answers to this and other questions.

    Can I help you somehow?
