    After finding out in another topic that it’s a good idea to have just one plugin compressing my images, I decided to choose WP-optimize for that purpose, especially becuase of the WebP conversion it provides.

    I compressed a few images manually and that seems to work fine, but since I have over 3000 images, I’d like to do the rest in bulk.

    However, under “uncompressed images”, there’s just one image. That may have to do with the fact that the other images were compressed before by another plugin, Smush. But I deactivated Smush and I clicked “mark all images as uncompressed” and still no images show up.

    Is there a way to make the bulk edit work?

    WebP conversion won’t work for already uploaded and compressed images. To use WebP on existing images, you will need to restore the original images and compress them again

    I manually compressed a few dozen images, simply by going to each of them in the media library and clicking compress. WP-optimize compresses them even a little bit more, even though they were already compressed by Smush. And WebP-versions are created as well.

    So for some reason, in my case, WebP conversion does work on images that were previously compressed. It’s a pity the ones that still have to be done don’t show up in the bulk editor. Because manually compressing almost 3000 images, that’s a lot of work…

    (and unfortunately restoring the original images is not an option)
