 * Hi. Installed the plugin, configured it, but I think that it does not work on
   my site [https://domofon75.ru/](https://domofon75.ru/). Tell me how to remove
   the plugin correctly?

 * Hi,
 * You are right, it doesn’t work on your site. The image requests does not get 
   redirected to the converter. I see that you are on a [OpenResty]([https://openresty.org/en/](https://openresty.org/en/))
   server, which is based on Nginx. Nginx does not offer per-directory configuration(
   like Apache does with .htaccess files). Nginx configuration can therefore not
   be made automatically by the WebP Express plugin. You will have to insert Nginx
   rules manually.
 * Try inserting these rules into your Nginx configuration file (nginx.conf):
 *     ```
       if ($http_accept ~* “webp”){
       rewrite ^/(.*).(jpe?g|png)$ /wp-content/plugins/webp-express/wod/webp-on-demand.php?source=$document_root$request_uri&wp-content=wp-content&%1 break;
       }
       ```
   
 * I write a bit more about that here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nginx-rewrite-rules-4/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nginx-rewrite-rules-4/)
 * I shall soon put something in the FAQ about NGINX. And I shall also want to let
   the plugin itself instruct NGINX users what to do – when I get the time (it will
   surely help with some funding: [https://www.patreon.com/rosell](https://www.patreon.com/rosell))

 * To remove the plugin, simply deactivate it first on the Plugins page, and then
   remove. It does take care of cleaning up

 * NOTE NOTE NOTE: The redirect rules posted above does NOT work, because there 
   are illegal character “ instead of “.
 * THere is now a “I am on Nginx” section in the FAQ, – with correct rules
