WebP Function Stopped Working

Last year, when I first installed LiteSpeed, its webp function didn’t work. I went through their instructions and set it up properly, but it wouldn’t work. Then, after several days and after having made no other changes in my website backend, it suddenly started working.

Cut to this week. I added other jpg’s to my images folder and, for no apparent reason, it has stopped turning jpg’s into webp’s.

I’ve gone through LiteSpeed’s instructions yet again today and now see that something has changed in their instructions AND in their settings.

Their (new) instructions have a section labeled “Create WebP Versions.” (see image I’ve attached below)

However… the plugin as it exists on my wordpress backend does NOT have this section. So, I can’t choose to create a webp version.

Again, for several years, Litespeed has automatically created a webp photo automatically whenever I uploaded a jpg. It also converted all of my legacy photos into webp files.

I’ve gone through Litespeed’s settings once again and, as best I can tell, updated LiteSpeed. Nevertheless, litespeed still doesn’t offer me this new setting “Create WebP Version.” Nor does it convert new jpgs into webp.

Do you have a solution to get LiteSpeed to work and automatically turn my jpg’s (new and legacy) into webp’s?

Thanks!!!
