WebP Problems

    Hi there,

    We are running your Cloud version of the plugin and the image optimizations have been fantastic. But we can’t get webp images to be served.

    1. We’ve used your default htaccess code, entering it manually both at the very top or just under the #Begin WordPress rewrites.

    2. The Admin does not show the green webp (stuck on red png).

    3. We’ve confirmed with our VPS hosts that mod_rewrite and mod_Headers are switched on.

    But can I check one thing about how the plugin renames the WebP image files please? After Bulk Optimize we have our images named as follows…

    image1.jpg
    image1.jpg.webp
    etc etc

    Is this correct? Is the htaccess rewrite not looking for an identically named .webp file, but for a .webp file with .jpg appended to the original filename? (that make sense?!)

    ie. the rewrite code provided – is it looking for image1.jpg.webp or image1.webp ?

    Would love to get the WebP functionality running, but have to say extrememly pleased with the savings made already – thank you ??

    Hi Shane,

    This certainly looks 100% successful to me on all counts ??

    No character issues.

    Alt WebP switched on and serving webp to compatible browsers and jpegs/png to the other browsers.

    And the Yoast WordPress SEO XML sitemaps are still working perfectly.

    Brilliant – thank you.

    (watch me break it tomorrow when I add in a Cache plugin and a CDN haha!).
