Hi, i’m trying to enable webp support in Wordpress through the Webp Express plugin.
I encounter this error message:
`It seems your server setup does not support headers in *.htaccess*. You should either fix this (install *mod_headers*) *or* deactivate the "Enable direct redirection to existing converted images?" option. Otherwise the *Vary:Accept* header will not be added and this can result in problems for users behind proxy servers (ie used in larger companies)`
Should I have enabled this during installation or what’s the best way to enable it?
Isn’t it installed by default for security reasons?
This is my setup:
Proxy Server: nginx
Web Server: apache2
Backend Server: php-fpm
The reason for not loading certain apache mods is that the team thinks that not enough users would need it and the panel should be as lean as possible.
I enabled module headers with a2enmod headers after that I restarted apache2 and rebooted the server. Than I checked with sudo a2enmod headers with positive output: Module headers already enabled
Do I need to do something else? The error message isn’t gone yet.
I used Smush pro plugin for both compression and easy webp delivery configuration. Few lines in htaccess , removing webp from nginx, bulk compression and it indeed took around 20% from the images.

Live tests of .htaccess capabilities / system configuration:
Unless noted otherwise, the tests are run in wp-content/webp-express/htaccess-capability-tester.
WebPExpress currently treats the results as they neccessarily applies to all scopes (upload, themes, etc),
but note that a server might be configured to have mod_rewrite disallowed in some folders and allowed in others.
