• My production website’s images crushed a few days ago, and I asked hosting team (siteground) to check it. They couldn’t fix it and asked me to restore from backup. At that time I didn’t have any idea that it was caused because I was tring make the Webp Express plugin work.

    Since the same issue occured again, I realised that the cause is Webp Express. But other than the crush problem, the more problematic thing is that I installed Webp Express to my staging folder, and it crushed my production.

    How to re-create issue on my website:

    Pre-information:

    My Site: https://www.example.com
    My Staging: https://www.staging1.example.com
    Example image link: images.example.com/imagename.jpg (They are in a subfolder)

    1- Activate the plugin in staging1.example.com
    2- Click “Save settings and force new .htaccess rules” immediately.
    3- All images starts to give 404. Image links also.

  • I’m having a similar issue. After I clicked on “Save settings”, whenever I try to access “[…]/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=webp_express_settings_page” I get a 404 error page.
