 * Firstly thank you for using our plugin.
   The Phoenix Media Rename settings do 
   not make any difference to the database renaming as we use a specialised version
   of one of their functions and set the necessary settings on rename via code. 
   So you can disable / enable any you like with no damage to the conversion process.
   Please could you send a screenshot of where you are seeing the incomplete filetype
   conversion to [support@coreessentials.online](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-conversion-help/support@coreessentials.online?output_format=md)
   Also please be aware if you are usinging an hosting or plugin based caching to

   Thank you for your patience, we have just released a fix for the issue you mentioned.
   
   Also if you visit the settings page (Settings > Media) you will see an update
   utility to correct any previously converted media to the correct MIME type.We
   are really grateful you raised this issue as it was only happening on some server
   setups, if you would like to reach out to us on our support email address above
   we would like to offer you a bug bounty as a way of showing our appreciation.
