* Tried installing the plugin on a development site. Works great EXCEPT… lazy loaded
images in a slider no longer load anything now. No JPG fallback even.
* Ideas?

* Just checking in to see if there was an update. Spent most of the week trying
to find a way to replicate this plugins functionality using manually generated
webp files and htaccess rewrite rules but haven’t had any luck yet.

* Looking into it…
* Btw: There is also a thread going on here, regarding lazy loading: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lazy-loading-12/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lazy-loading-12/)

* I have tried out the Owl Carousel with lazy loading. It actually works fine for
me. Owl carousel takes the value set in `data-src` attribute and uses it to set
the `src` attribute. This means that the image is loaded with the same request
headers, as if it had been placed directly in the HTML. So from the server side
point of view, and WebP Express, there is no extra ordinary thing going on here.
* Does the carousel work when you disable WebP Express?

* With Owl Carousel, remember to set class=”owl-lazy” on the images, otherwise
they won’t load

* Very strange. Tried it again a second time on the same site and this time it
worked.
* I did find a gotcha though that you may want to warn people about…
* We found this in our wp-content folder’s .htaccess file. It was impeding the
proper operation of WebP Express (eg: WebP conversion tests). Not sure what security
plugin added that or if we added it manually at some point. BUT we typically
use iThemes Security and Sucuri.

* Whoops. Replied from wrong account.
* Closed as resolved. 👍

* Ah, so you two guys are the same…
* Great that it works now and thanks for sharing your findings! Further down the
roadmap, I could make WebP Express diagnose this. I have put that in the queue:

* Solved it.
* The security rules can be overridden by creating a .htaccess in the plugins/webp-
express/wod folder containing the following rules:
* ```
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
Require all granted
```
* I have created such file. It will be there in the next release (0.9.0)

* 0.9.0 is now released, which contains the .htaccess above, which counterfights
security rules that denies running php files directly in wp-content
