Delete originals not working

    Hello.
    I am trying to delete the originals after conversion to webp.
    But even if I checked the option, the originals (jpg) are still there along with the new webp versions.

    I am also getting this error in admin:

    “Your web server does not meet the requirements for free server-based compression with EWWW Image Optimizer. You may?start your premium trial?for 5x more compression, PNG/GIF/PDF compression, and more. Otherwise, continue with free cloud-based JPG compression.

    However, conversion works correctly…”

    +

    “Your site appears to be missing mod_headers, please contact your web host or system administrator to enable this Apache module.
    This may be a false positive. If so, the warning should go away once you implement the rewrite rules.

    WebP rules verified, but self-test failed: cURL error 60: SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name …”

    But also, the serving of webp images works correctly.
    Thanks.

    I would recommend having a look at the WebP documentation as it discusses this: https://docs.ewww.io/article/16-ewww-io-and-webp-images

    There isn’t an option to delete the original JPG/PNG when generating WebP as the JPG/PNG is retained for a backup.

    For the compression warning, that has to do with compressing your files using the tools on your site. Your site either doesn’t allow access to those files or you don’t have exec() enabled and, as such, has limited functionality in free mode: https://docs.ewww.io/article/29-what-is-exec-and-why-do-i-need-it

    Anyway. Why are my images correctly converted to webp even when I get the warning message about not meeting requirements?

    More likely than not, only your JPGs are having WebP versions generated as that is what we allow for free via our servers when your server won’t allow it. That’s what that “exec()” doc talks about…the second bullet point says:

    “Free WebP conversion is included, but WebP delivery is much simpler with our?Easy IO CDN.”

    Oh, so that’s why the conversion took so long ??
    Ok, now I understand.
    Thanks.
