301 Redirects Not Working With W3 Total Cache

Update:

I found the half solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4814231/301-redirect-not-working-in-wordpress

I placed this code to .htaccess file below w3 total cache rewrite rules:

“<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

### non www to www
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com.au [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]

### re-direct index.html to root
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ https://www.domain.com.au/ [R=301,L]

redirect 301 /team.html https://www.domain.com.au/our-team/
redirect 301 /contact.html https://www.domain.com.au/contact-us/

# WrodPress rules begin here…
</IfModule>”

All 301 redirects seems working now and without any errors showing under W3 Total Cache settings, except one: the index.html still not redirecting to .com – all what I see is my hosts 404 error page :/

and if I remove these lines from the code above:

“### re-direct index.html to root
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.html\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ https://www.domain.com.au/ [R=301,L]”

W3 total cache throwing error:

“It appears Page Cache URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess or if using nginx verify all configuration files are included in the configuration.”

Anybody?

I tryed to add also:

“Redirect 301 /index.html https://www.domain.com.au/
Redirect 301 /Index.html https://www.domain.com.au/&#8221;

but then again thse error under W3 total cache “It appears Page Cache URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess or if using nginx verify all configuration files are included in the configuration.”

W3 Total Cache increased my page speed a lot and I want to continue using it, but these error killing all benefits :/

Have you tried adding the redirects before the rules added by W3TC? Cannot duplicate the issue you are having. Did the Page Cache message appear without rules as well?

Yes, I added redirects before W3 Total Cache code, but that not helps because it works only until first cache cleaning.

Consider using preloading.

Thanks for your support.
