# WebP Function Stopped Working

 * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/webp-function-stopped-working/)
 * Last year, when I first installed LiteSpeed, its webp function didn’t work. I
   went through their instructions and set it up properly, but it wouldn’t work.
   Then, after several days and after having made no other changes in my website
   backend, it suddenly started working.
 * Cut to this week. I added other jpg’s to my images folder and, for no apparent
   reason, it has stopped turning jpg’s into webp’s.
 * I’ve gone through LiteSpeed’s instructions yet again today and now see that something
   has changed in their instructions AND in their settings.
 * Their (new) instructions have a section labeled “Create WebP Versions.” (see 
   image I’ve attached below)
 * However… the plugin as it exists on my wordpress backend does NOT have this section.
   So, I can’t choose to create a webp version.
 * Again, for several years, Litespeed has automatically created a webp photo automatically
   whenever I uploaded a jpg. It also converted all of my legacy photos into webp
   files.
 * I’ve gone through Litespeed’s settings once again and, as best I can tell, updated
   LiteSpeed. Nevertheless, litespeed still doesn’t offer me this new setting “Create
   WebP Version.” Nor does it convert new jpgs into webp.
 * Do you have a solution to get LiteSpeed to work and automatically turn my jpg’s(
   new and legacy) into webp’s?
 * Thanks!!!

 * Hi,
 * According to the doc, the **Image WebP Replacement** feature is the only option
   you need to enable after v5.3. May I know your plugin version? and I don’t see
   any screenshot from you, please upload it again if possible.

 * [@eric780217](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eric780217/): Yes, thanks. 
   But it’s not working for me. It did work for months, but just arbitrarily stopped
   working. I’ve deleted and reinstalled LiteSpeed to see if that helps, but it 
   doesn’t.
 * [@qtwrk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/qtwrk/): Well… this system apparently
   doesn’t allow us to attach an image? When I paste into this screen, it never 
   completes a population into this box. When I choose the specific “image block,”
   it requires a url and I don’t have a specific url to my backend a 3rd party could
   access. Am I missing something here? It seems that we should be able to attach
   or paste an image in this system.

 * you can upload image to somewhere like imgur.com , google drive, dropbox , or
   even your own wordpress site Media, then share the link.
