# Webpc-passthrough.php missing?

 * Hi, I had the WebP converter running for several years without problems. I had
   configured my .htaccess and checked the delivery of webp images, it worked flawlessly.
 * However, somewhere in the past few months, unbeknownst to me, it must have stopped
   working. I just got aware of it through a popup window. The settings now claim
   there’s an error in my server configuration (rewrites_not_working)… I can’t really
   comprehend that… why all the sudden? Also, rewrites still work well for permanent-
   links..
 * I tried everything that I could think of: deactivate every other plugin (esp.
   WP-Rocket and Smush), check my .htacces, CHMOD of all files and directories, 
   file ownership etc etc. still, nothing…
 * Anyway, I followed the advice and switched the delivery mode to “passthrough”-
   and got another error. When I tried to find the reason I realized that the file**
   webpc-passthrough.php cannot be found anywhere on my server**. Certainly not 
   in the ‘upload’ directory.. which is, by the way, not the place where my image
   files are being stored. I have my media files in the folder “/media”, as configured
   in the “media”-section of the wordpress-settings.
 * so, now I’m out of my wits:
    – why did webp suddenly stop working? – where do
   I get the file webpc-passthrough.php? Will this method work? – how can I tell
   webp converter the right directory of my mediathek? – how else can I check the
   server configuration? .. please help!

 * Hello [@docmario](https://wordpress.org/support/users/docmario/),
 * Thanks for your message.
 * The former plugin version does not check for configuration errors, which is why
   at one time you might think everything was working.
 * By adding a thread to the support forum, please provide us with all the information
   you need. You will find them in the first question in [the plugin FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/webp-converter-for-media/faq/).
   Without them we can not help you. If you want quick and specific help, let us
   help you by providing all the information we ask for. It really makes our job
   easier when we know everything.
 * Best,
    Mateusz
