If you need to update by Magefan, please follow the steps below.
Note: the updating instructions depend on the method the WebP images extension was installed with.
Update using composer
If the WebP images module was installed via the composer (check if vendor/magefan/module-webp folder exists), then you need to run these simple CLI commands in Magento 2 directory:
composer remove magefan/module-NAME
composer require magefan/module-NAME ^x.x.x
# replace NAME with:
# webp - for Basic plan
# webp-plus - for Plus plan
# webp-extra - for Extra plan
# replace x.x.x with the version you want to use
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
Update using archive and FTP
If the WebP images module was installed via FTP (check if app/code/Magefan/WebP folder exists), then follow these commands:
1. Download the latest version of the WebP images extension archive from magefan.com.
2. Extract archive.
3. Make the backup copy of the app/code/Magefan/WebP, app/code/Magefan/WebPPlus and app/code/Magefan/WebPExtra folders on your server and then remove them.
4. Using FTP, copy the app and lib folders from the archive to your Magento 2 Directory.
