Gzip disables itself

Interesting… what is your website? And do you know on what kind of host you are?

site is https://www.aabo.nl
What would you like to no about the host.
It is shared. But gzip is possible according to the host.

Hi, It seems your site is gzip compressed though. Did you have any other caching plugins installed?

See https://checkgzipcompression.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aabo.nl

Yes it works now.
I am using another plugin. I couldn’t figure out why yours didn’t work.

Thanks anyway

Thanks, just to clarify, when you pressed the enable button, what happened?

It said it was enabled. but the warning at the top of the page remained. Then when I refreshed the page or came back to the plugin it was disabled.

Thanks, I will look into it, hopefully I can reproduce the problem…

Good luck!

I am having the same trouble…
wp.1weddingdj.com
this is a new site and is not yet complete.

https://checkgzipcompression.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwp.1weddingdj.com
shows disabled

HOWEVER:
https://checkgzipcompression.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwp.1weddingdj.com%2F%3Fpreview-gzip%3D1
shows enabled

it’s WP 4.3
I hit enable and it says GZIP is enabled. Enjoy!
but at the top it still gives warning that its disabled.

when I refresh the page it goes back to asking to enable it.

Thanks, looks like there goes something wrong with activating the permanent solution.

Would it be possible to log into your test site (create a seperate admin user for me please), so I can do some debugging with the plugin?

If so, you can add the email address: eric (at) emdevelopment.nl

Eric

Did you get the login?

Thanks, i did, I’ll probably take a look tomorrow or Tuesday.

Well it will have to wait… I had an automated WP install from my service provider and it would not let me edit files directly from ftp (automated install and service only) so I converted it to a standard WP and lost the entire setup… So now that I’ve learned some I will re-install using a standard install from ftp rather than automated from my provider… But that’s a job for next week.

Ah ok, that’s interesting, the plugin tries to write to the htaccess file and falls back on another technique. Maybe the fallback doesn’t work.

Would it be possible for you to make a automated WP install just for me to test the plugin? That would be very nice!

Also, for future reference, I would suggest making a backup via the duplicator plugin before making big changes ??
