Just started: Regenerate All doesn’t work

    Hello togehter,

    I just started using this plugin and have a problem right at the beginning.
    I’m more like a beginner in wordpress and work just in the wordpress-backend not the phpmyadmin area – so please be kind in case of dumb questions.

    If I understood it right, I have to start with using the the function “Regenerate All” pictures.
    As I use this plugin for my webshop, I have some images to convert and this process takes some time to run.
    After 2 hours or so, the plugin shows a progress of 30% but stops afterwards. I tried this several times: sometimes it stops after 5%, sometimes after 10% and the highest ist 30%. As you requested, I didn’t close the browser window in the mean time.

    My questions are:
    1. Can I run “Regenerate All” more often or will this cause to have several webp-copies of one jpeg-image?
    2. Is it a solution to my problem, if I run “Regenerate All” several times?
    3. Where are the webp-versions stored? I don’t find them under /uploads.

    Thank you for your help!

    many greeting, bohei

    PS: Apart from that the plugin works great and newly uploaded images are converted to webp.

    Hello @bohei,

    Thanks for your message.

    While images are being regenerated, messages are displayed below the displayed regeneration progress. What are the last visible messages when the process stops?

    Do you select the “Force convert all images again” option when restarting the conversion? If so, don’t do it. Then only the previously unconverted images will be converted further.

    The images are saved in the /uploads-webpc directory. The plugin does not modify the original /uploads directory in any way – for the safety of your files.

    Best,
    Mateusz

    Hi @mateuszgbiorczyk,

    thank you for your super fast reply!

    There was no error message.
    The last message was: “Image xyz converted to .webp is larger than original and converted .webp file has been deleted.”
    I didn’t make a screenshot, so I don’t know the exact filename.
    I run the “Regenerate All”-process right now again. If it stops again, I will tell you the exact filename or error, if there will be an error.
    This time it runs on a desktop PC which is connected via LAN. Maybe this was a problem before.

    I didn’t use the “Force convert all images again” option before and don’t do it right now.

    For clarification: if there is already a webp-version of an image from an earlier “Regenerate All”-process, there will be no second or third webp-version of the same picture, if I run the process again?

    Thank you again!

    No. There will be only one version.

    Please let me know how the situation ended. I will be very grateful!

    So this time the process ended at 7%.

    I hid the URL, because I don’t want it to be public. If you need it, I can send it to you via pm.
