 * Hello,
 * I have the problem it said: Server configuration error ” Error codes: rewrites_cached”
 * here the notification:
 * ‘`Server configuration error
    Your server uses the cache for HTTP requests. The
   rules from .htaccess file or from Nginx configuration are not executed every 
   time when the image is loaded, but the last redirect from cache is performed.
   With each request to image, your server should execute the rules from .htaccess
   file or from Nginx configuration. Now it only does this the first time and then
   uses cache. This means that if your server redirected image to WebP format the
   first time, it does so on every request. It should check the rules from .htaccess
   file or from Nginx configuration each time during request to image and redirect
   only when the conditions are met.
 * In this case, please contact your server administrator.

 * Error codes: rewrites_cached` ”
 * I am using Nginx and Cloudflare SSL.

   pause proxy on Cloudflare.

 * Hello [@arakatech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arakatech/),
 * Thanks for your message.
 * The problem here, in my opinion, is not Cloudflare, but Nginx. This is Nginx 
   with .htaccess support?
 * Can you check if you have any rules (location {}) in your Nginx configuration
   for jpg, jpeg, png, gif and webp files?
 * Best,
    Mateusz

 * Hello [@mateuszgbiorczyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mateuszgbiorczyk/)
 * The nginx not support .htaccess i think. no panel used here.
 * and any rules configuration according to the plugin is placed correctly like 
   in the FAQ-Configuration for Nginx:
 * i put rule like below:
 * server {
 *     ```
       # BEGIN Converter for Media
       set $ext_avif ".avif";
       if ($http_accept !~* "image/avif") {
           set $ext_avif "";
       }
   
       set $ext_webp ".webp";
       if ($http_accept !~* "image/webp") {
           set $ext_webp "";
       }
   
       location ~ /wp-content/(?<path>.+)\.(?<ext>jpe?g|png|gif|webp)$ {
           add_header Vary Accept;
           expires 365d;

               $uri =404;
       }
       # END Converter for Media
       ```
   
 * and the rule for MIME Types have been checked also.

 * [@arakatech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arakatech/) I understand you.
   You probably have some extra rules for image files in the rest of the Nginx rules,
   and they cause the Nginx Cache for those files.

 * [@arakatech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arakatech/) Please note this
   code:
 *     ```
       location ~* \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js|eot|ttf|otf|woff|svg)$ {
         expires 365d;

 * Remove the jpg, jpeg, png, gif formats from there. And check again.
