htaccess modifications and deactivation

I setup webp express for CDN friendly modifications to the HTML alone. I noticed it modified the .htaccess files anyway, which I did not want to happen because I just wanted to try the <picture> element.

Then, when I deactived webp express, the modifications were still left in the .htaccess files. Not good.

BTW: This is the best solution I’ve seen for the <picture> element. It ultimately didn’t work for me, but kudos on moving in the right direction for webp. Here’s some of the changes left after deactivation:

$ cat wp/wp-content/uploads/.htaccess 

# BEGIN WebP Express
# The rules below have been dynamically created by WebP Express in accordance with the plugin settings
# DO NOT EDIT MANUALLY (unless you are prepared that your changes might be overridden by WebP Express)
# The following parameters have been in play to produce the rules:
#
# WebP Express options:
# - Operation mode: cdn-friendly
# - Redirection to existing webp: disabled
# - Redirection to converter: disabled
# - Redirection to converter to create missing webp files upon request for the webp: disabled
# - Destination folder: separate
# - Destination extension: append
# - Destination structure: image-roots
# - Image types: jpeg, png
# - Alter HTML enabled?: yes
#
# WordPress/Server configuration:
# - Document root availablity: Available and its "realpath" is available too. Can be used for structuring cache dir.
#
# .htaccess capability test results:
# - mod_header working?: yes
# - pass variable from .htaccess to script through header working?: no
# - pass variable from .htaccess to script through environment variable working?: yes
#
# Role of the dir that this .htaccess is located in:
