CompressX plugin rewrite rules

Vibhi

Trying to use CompressX rewrite rules for nginx. Created a file inside common folder and added it in the sites-available domain config but rewrite rules are not working.

Also getting this Error Invalid regular expression: //wp-content/(?.+).(?jpe?g|png|gif|webp)$/: Invalid group i fixed it with this rule location ~ /wp-content/(?<path>.+).(?<ext>jpe?g|png|gif)$ { but no luck.

`# BEGIN CompressX
set $ext_avif ".avif";
if ($http_accept !~* "image/avif") {
  set $ext_avif "";
}

set $ext_webp ".webp";
if ($http_accept !~* "image/webp") {
  set $ext_webp "";
}

location ~ /wp-content/(?.+)\.(?jpe?g|png|gif|webp)$ {
  add_header Vary Accept;
  add_header Cache-Control "private";
  expires 365d;
  try_files
    /wp-content/compressx-nextgen/$path.$ext$ext_avif
    /wp-content/compressx-nextgen/$path.$ext$ext_webp
  $uri = 404;
}
# END CompressX`

I think your issue is most likely Step 4 in the setup, i.e. 'Remove Conflicting Image Rules'. Check /etc/nginx/common/locations-wo.conf

But also see: https://community.wordops.net/d/966-proper-webp-redirect/2 as WordOps has some automatic handling for serving webp with a fallback anyway (check: /etc/nginx/common/wpcommon-php8x.conf).

I have removed the locations-wo-conf but the same issue persist even after removing

All of it? Or just the relevant rules? (I wouldn't remove the whole thing as there are various security hardening measures etc in there)

As I said above also check /etc/nginx/common/wpcommon-php8x.conf as that has handling for webp too so may also be conflicting.

(I've never used CompressX)

Just for testing i commented the location and wpcommon rule but that didnt do anything. i looked into wpcommon rule set for webp as well and made some relevent changes but no luck.
