Missing warning when certain modules are not installed

    The Compatibility Check shows me that mod_expires and mod_ext_filter are not installed. It also shows this message: “(required for disk enhanced Page Cache and Browser Cache)”. Even though two modules are missing, I was able to enable both features without a single warning or them being greyed out. My suggestions to fix this:

    1. Grey out fields if requirements are not met.
    2. Show warning outside of the Compatibility Check when users are trying to enable a certain feature and requirements are not met.
    3. Nice-to-have: Use /wp-admin/site-health.php to show missing modules. This makes sure that users also see issues on the Dashboard.

    Hello @lehmax

    Thank you for your suggestion.
    Not detected means you don’t use mod_php mode, so you probably use PHP-fpm. We cannot detect Apache modules in that case, but that doesn’t mean it is not installed/active.
    We are working on improving and once again thank you for your suggestion.
    I’ve also created a GitHub issue in our repository on your behalf.
    Please make sure to track the progress of the ticket regularly.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for opening the issue and answering quickly. Other modules are shown as installed and in green color so I’m 99 % sure that we’re using mod_php. They would be shown as yellow if we were not using it, right?

    Hello @lehmax

    The yellow is for not installed.
    For example:

    mod_deflate: Not detected (required for disk enhanced Page Cache and Browser Cache)
mod_env: Not detected (required for disk enhanced Page Cache and Browser Cache)
mod_expires: Not detected (required for disk enhanced Page Cache and Browser Cache)

    Even if Compatibility mode is showing not detected it doesn’t mean that they are not installed and enabled and as you said yourself everything works as expected.
    Thanks!
