Hello. I have snake(Cylinder) and tongue(Box) with Path Deform Binding(WSM) and when I want to export. I got this message:

WDM modifiers from the following object(s) Modifier Stack have been disabled for the export process:

-Line001

-Cylinder001

-Box002

Maybe someone can help me? Thank u for answers.

Did you try selecting the object and then in the Modify right-click and choose Collapse All?

So I have My Snake(Cylinder001) and i have Tongue(Box001). And my animation is that Snake is just moving by my Path. And i setted with PathDeform(WSM). Where snake is on 1frame and my animation end in 85frame,which is also setted. But when I exporting with .fbx I get message: WDM modifiers from the following object(s) Modifier Stack have been disabled for the export process:

-Line001

-Cylinder001

-Box002

Your question should be how to animate the snake without the PathDeform(WSM) modifier. For example, can you make it work with the plain PathDeform modifier (not the WSM one) and if so can that be exported to .fbx.

If that doesn't work then investigate using loft or sweep. There are multiple way to achieve similar results.

So I cant use Path Deform(WSM)? And also in Path Deform. I dont see functions like in (WSM) modifier.
