 * Install then get a message “Add this to htaccess and reactivate”. Well there’s
   a waste of time for a start. Then, having added the code – It still does not 
   activate!! Total waste of time

 * Your .htaccess is locked because normally it is added automatically on activate.
   
   Here it was not possible, so plugin asked you to add it manually, that’s completely
   fine, but… As it’s still not working after you added that code, then it means
   that your hosting doesn’t support webp or it is also somehow blocked.

 * Just a note, but I received this message too. Checked my .htaccess file and the
   code had already been added by the plugin. Returned to my plugin page and the
   plugin was activated. Apparently, the error message was triggered but the plugin
   worked fine.

 * [@justmigrating](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justmigrating/) that’s strange,
   I’m using this plugin on hundreds different websites on tens different servers
   and I’ve never seen this
    I’m really curious how is this possible… maybe you 
   have some huge .htaccess file? Some security or performance plugins can cause
   this… then theoretically the test can run before the file is completely saved?
   I have no idea… If you’re willing to create some test environment on your server
   or with your setup then we can solve this… otherwise I need to wait till it will
   happen to me someday and somewhere
