Wordpress LScache Plugin: Disable webp images and 404 errors
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hi, I disabled the webp images and now im getting tons of 404 errors, is there a way to comeback to original images without getting 404 errors or a way to redirect to original images? Thanks Hi, If the webp are generated and replaced by LSCWP, then once you disable the webp , and purge the cache , it should not longer service the webp by 404 , you mean on image links that giving you 404 ? Best regards, Yes from external websites, seems like my images where shared with .webp extension, in redirection plugin, when i check the 404 error tab its full with links with .webp Hi, Not exactly sure what you mean , what if you set disable all feature to on ? what do you see ? Best regards, i had images links like this: https://www.mywebsite.com/image.jpg.webp After i disable this feature, my images are now back to original url: https://www.mywebsite.com/image.jpg Images where shared to facebook and other social networks with .webp extension so if someone in facebook see this link: https://www.mywebsite.com/image.jpg.webp click on it, he get a 404 error Hi, OK , now I get it. Add this rule into your .htaccess RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(. ).jpg.webp https://domain.com/$1.jpg [R=301,L] explain: if request contains .jpg.webp , then will send 301 redirect it to .jpg example https://domain.com/something.jpg.webp ?> 301 redirect ?> https://domain.com/something.jpg Best regards, Thank you a lot
