The plugin ignores files in /uploads subfolders

  • Hi there. Thanks for this great plugin, but I’ve encountered a strange problem.

    The plugin converts files in my themes/ng folder, as well as the files which are located directly in the wp-content/uploads folder to wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/doc-root/wp-content. But I have a lot of subfolders in the uploads folder which are being ignored and I can’t figure out why.

    Just for your reference, I have about 150k files and have converted them via google cwebp just to save my time. I still do need all the default functionality of the plugin, but decided to convert all these files first and move them to the folders which are being actually used by the plugin.

    Any advice, please?

    Things becoming even stranger. I’m making multiple tests and that is what I found.
    Just for example, I have an /images subfolder in the default uploads folder. If I upload the image here: wp-content/uploads/images/green_rock.jpg – it won’t be converted to wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/doc-root/wp-content/uploads/images/green_rock.jpg.webp
    If I upload a manually converted file there – it won’t be served either.
    But now I’ve created another folder in default /uploads folder called /01 and uploaded my image there: wp-content/uploads/01/green_rock.jp and after refreshing the page the green_rock.jpg.webp was generated in wp-content/webp-express/webp-images/doc-root/wp-content/uploads/01/green_rock.jpg.webp
    So why some of my folders are being skipped? I’ve tested the folders permissions and they are the same… My head is turning round
