Make exceptions for some images on WPEngine

    I would like to make exceptions for some images on WPEngine server. Ideally, these would be images that have the “original” in query string:

    /wp-content/uploads/2021/08/test.png = WEBP
/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/test.png?original = PNG

    I reached to WPEngine support, but they didn’t know the proper solution. They only suggested contacting the author:

    (…) If you need this you’ll want to reach out to either the WebP authors for additional assistance on an nginx rule or What you can do is move the images into another directory and we can implement a negative lookahead for that new directory to be excluded from being converted to webp.

    Is there anything I could do to achieve the goal?

    I have a similar/same question- want to exclude some images.

    I have a preload on an image loaded by CSS, and a Preload for that image (a header) but WerbP Express is trying to replace the preload URL with a .webp version of the file- only the CSS is loading .jpg so I think the preload is therefore not working.

    NGINX, so no htaccess~
