What’s the ETA on a fix?

Huuuh… I am utterly confused but yes what you said is accurate – IT IS working. Jesus christ lol (after clearing my own cache fully and site itself).

When I was checking to see if it was working – I was simply right clicking the images and opening them in new tabs and checking their extensions/links. Previously the random images were associated with the uploads-webpc folder/link so I was looking into whether any of those images had it – they did not.

Anyway I am hoping that all of these issues have been resolved (as in no more issues in the future and any new images get converted automatically). Thanks a lot for your help on this I really appreciate it.

Okay this is so odd… https://i.imgur.com/T3HiNTm.png

Whenever I use “via .htaccess” option – it basically never replaces the .jpg/.png images on the website but IT DOES convert the images to .webp (I deleted all the previously converted ones via FTP and I just checked it again – the .webp images are there!!!)

When I use “Pass Thru” option – it’s always the same random few that get replaced on the web page.

Let me give you an example below:
Say I had 10 images on my main page – if I was using “Pass Thru” option I would basically see 2-3 of them as .webp now (but they all get converted on FTP – only some of them replace those .jpg/.pngs) and it’s always the same random ones – so it’s not completely random there’s some logic to it.

If however I was using “via .htaccess” option – none of the 10 .png/jpg images would get replaced with .webp

Hey so good news to a degree… That REST API issue has been resolved and I was able to use your “convert all images” feature – it took a couple of minutes and this time I believe it converted all of the images (not some random ones).

HOWEVER – these changes somehow were not implemented. When I check the source of the images on the live website – they’re still in .png/.jpg

Damn. No luck.

Hey so I just checked this website and… https://meowapps.com/fix-wordpress-rest-api/

My wp-json is full of info/details so the API itself should be working.

I am currently backing up my website and I will then de-activate the Security plugin which may be the root cause of all problems (according to the website above at least).

Hey Mateusz.. Ah.. It never ends.

Tried your solution 3 times – one without anything, my 2nd attempt was with “force” option (tickbox).

My last resort was clear cache/cookies – same thing.. Keep getting that damn error.

Hey Mateusz,

I feel bad for asking you so many questions and for being so ignorant but is this what you are referring to?

What did you mean by “Set the generation of friendly links”? Is this not suitable (post name)? Does it need to be Custom structure?

Hey Mateusz,

So…. My website is back and I just tried to force update again and I immediately get this error now:

An error occurred while connecting to REST API. Please try again.

So I’m not entirely sure what’s going on at the moment but before I took action myself (on Cloudflare to take care of that rewrites_cached issue) I sent a support ticket to my server provider. They took some sort of action which in turn resulted in them messing something up. The site is down at the moment and I’m trying to get them to restore whatever the hell they did….

Hey sorry for being unclear let me try and re-phrase myself.

1) Server admins listened to what you said and implemented the solution.
2) The solution resulted in a new problem – “rewrites_cached” (it was shown on your plugin page). After doing some Google research one guy said that Cloudfare’s caching was interfering with the process and that’s why I was getting rewrites_cached error so I disabled Cloudfare’s caching temporarily and went back to your plugin page.
3) I refreshed the plugin page – VOILA! NO MORE ERRORS DISPLAYED!
4) I used “Force convert all images again” on your plugin page to see if it would finally convert all my .PNG/.JPG to webp.
5) (Previously before any issues some files were randomly getting converted) but after doing step 4 and force-converting them again – it basically made even the images which used to be .webp before back to .jpg/.png again.

To put it simply – after I did step 4 – it made ALL of my images back to .jpg/.png

Okay so I did everything that you suggested/advised. The server admins were able to take care of the issue. So after this I was getting “rewrites_cached” issue and I implemented a rule in cloudflare to temporarily stop caching. This in return resolved in no more issues being displayed on your plugin page.

So I figured – YAY! FINALLY! I can force a conversion on all those images… Well this process somehow reverted back even those successfully converted random images from .webp back to their original format. So somehow the plugin is completely dead without any error message.

Hey Mateusz,

They got back to me with below and I would be inclined to agree; although some of it (what they said) is a bit silly and quite obvious (them suggesting me to rename .htaccess).

I know it’s not ideal for us to be asking for anything from you since you are literally providing this plugin and your answers free – which is honestly understated how helpful and appreciated it is. I would be more than happy to donate 20$ towards your plugin if you’re able to assist me with this issue. Could you please elaborate at all as to how it may be resolved so I can pass it onto the administrators?

If htaccess rules weren’t working, your website wouldn’t be able to utilize WordPress rewrites. And yet, it does. You can actually check it yourself – rename the .htaccess file to something else, and all website links will yield a 404 error.

That said, we will be quite grateful if the plugin author shares the appropriate knowledge to fix the issue because it’s not related to htaccess.
If you have any questions, please, let me know.
