 * Hello,
   I wanted to optimize my images but they don’t appear in the WP-Optimize
   interface, and if I do it from the WordPress Media library, when I come back 
   to the image, no indication shows me that it has been optimized.After some research,
   I found this topic: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-images-not-showing-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-images-not-showing-2/)
   and I went to check my wp-content/upload folder.The optimized and webp images
   are there !
 * So I contacted my host to check the settings. 
   Here is his request:“The server
   used is “Apache with nginx as reverse-proxy”. The mod_rewrite is active and the.
   htaccess files are taken into account.Can the plugin support send the code that
   should be put in the .htaccess file?”
 * Please, can you help me?
   Thank you very much, and sorry for my bad English.Sincerely,
   MM

 *     ```wp-block-code
       This snippet detects if the browser support WebP images and then serves a .webp image instead of jpg/png if a .webp file is available at the same location as the supplied jpg/png/gif
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   
         RewriteEngine On
   
         # Check if browser supports WebP images
   
         RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} image/webp
   
         # Check if WebP replacement image exists
   
         RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.webp -f
   
         # Serve WebP image instead
   
         RewriteRule (.+)\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$ $1.webp [T=image/webp,E=REQUEST_image]
   
       </IfModule>
   
       <IfModule mod_headers.c>
   
         # Vary: Accept for all the requests to jpeg, png and gif
   
         Header append Vary Accept env=REQUEST_image
   
       </IfModule>
   
       <IfModule mod_mime.c>
   
         AddType image/webp .webp
   
       </IfModule>

 * Hello,
   Here is my feedback, the code was well written in the .htaccess but it
   changes absolutely nothing. Unfortunately it still doesn’t work. I think the 
   easiest way is that I uninstall your plugin and look for another one.Can you 
   tell me how to uninstall it properly? Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * The images will only appear in the image interface if they are not optimised.
   If they are not showing there it is because they have already been optimised.
   To remove the plugin, goto the Settings tab, click wipe settings and then deactivate
   and delete on the plugins page.

 * Thank you for your feedback.
   I understood very well how the interface works ,)
   I confirm that in my case, the images do not appear in the wp-optimize dashboard,
   even the new ones I import. So I go through the media folder of WP to optimize
   them but it does, they are not marked as optimized and I do not see the optimization.
   To check, I have to go to the wp-content/ folder on my server.And anyway, the
   optimizations are not taken into account on my site, online.In short, it doesn’t
   work for me!
