 * [19-Jul-2022 06:19:39 UTC] PHP Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction
   in effect. File(.webp) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/mydomain.
   com/:/usr/lib/php/:/tmp/) in /var/www/mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-optimize/
   webp/class-wpo-webp-alter-html.php on line 211
 * Do I need to make any changes to the php.ini or similar?

 * [@scontomio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scontomio/) Could you please
   edit wp-config.php file and
 * Replace
 * `define('WP_DEBUG', false);`
 * with this:
 *     ```
       ini_set('log_errors','On');
   
       ini_set('display_errors','Off');
   
       ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL );
   
       define('WP_DEBUG', false);
   
       define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
   
       define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
       ```
   
 * Let us know if replacing with the above lines the warnings goes away?

 * Hi, I have enabled the errors in productions on the file, I can see those warnings
   by looking at the log file.
 * Does it take some configuration of php to get the webp part to work?

 * [@scontomio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scontomio/) Could you please
   contact your host and ask them to modify the open_basedir settings in your hosting
   account and set them to none.
 * Once its set to none then check if it works?
