You should basically “translate” the apache rules to NGINX.
The apache rules vary depending on the webp express configuration, and whether you have moved your plugin folder and/or moved your wp-content folder.
Look in your .htaccess to see the rules generated for your site – which then needs to be translated.
Here are some pointers for creating the NGINX rules:
– https://github.com/S1SYPHOS/kirby-webp#nginx
– https://github.com/uhop/grunt-tight-sprite/wiki/Recipe:-serve-WebP-with-nginx-conditionally
WebP Express is using the “WebP On Demand” solution, which is documented here: https://github.com/rosell-dk/webp-convert/blob/master/docs/webp-on-demand/webp-on-demand.md
Try inserting these rules into your Nginx configuration file (nginx.conf):
if ($http_accept ~* “webp”){
rewrite ^/(.*).(jpe?g|png)$ /wp-content/plugins/webp-express/wod/webp-on-demand.php?source=$document_root$request_uri&wp-content=wp-content&%1 break;
}

}
I have tried it on the Nginx server, but it doesn’t work. Is there a solution?
it doesn’t work. Is there a solution? Error: nginx failed to start with new config
I cant get it to work either.
Im on a bedrock/nginx setup (it works no problem with bedrock/apache, so bedrock shouldnt be the problem).
These rules seems logical:
if ($http_accept ~* “webp”) {
rewrite ^/(.*).(jpeg|jpg)$ /app/plugins/webp-express/wod/webp-on-demand.php?source=$document_root$request_uri&wp-content=app&%1 break;
}

The rules contained illegal character “
Also, $request_uri contains the querystring, which leads to trouble when a querystring is passed.
And also, %1 doesn’t seem to do anything in Nginx. I removed it. In the Apache rules, it was there to pass the original query string on. But it seems the querystring is available in $_GET without any trickery
Use these rules with 0.8.0:
if ($http_accept ~* "webp"){
rewrite ^/(.*).(jpe?g|png)$ /wp-content/plugins/webp-express/wod/webp-on-demand.php?xsource=x$request_filename&wp-content=wp-content break;
}
Use these rules with 0.7.0:
if ($http_accept ~* "webp"){
rewrite ^/(.*).(jpe?g|png)$ /wp-content/plugins/webp-express/wod/webp-on-demand.php?source=$request_filename&wp-content=wp-content break;
}

So, I finally got it to work. Don’t know what went wrong the first time.
I used the same config as you except i switched the standard directories to Bedrocks. like this:
if ($http_accept ~* “webp”){
rewrite ^/(.*).(jpe?g|png)$ /app/plugins/webp-express/wod/webp-on-demand.php?xsource=x$request_filename&wp-content=app break;
}
Wrote up on it in a quick blog post as well.
Thank you so much for this plugin!
I have come up with some improved Nginx rules. These takes care of adding Vary header, redirecting directly to existing webps and there are also rules for routing requests for non-existing webps to the converter. It’s in the FAQ. Check it out!
