    Hi,

    I was wondering, how many .htaccess files do you have, excepted the one in the root folder obviously ?
    Because I installed W3 TC on a subdomain with a fresh WordPress install.
    And had some problems with the error :
    “It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working”

    After some digging, I realised there was a .htaccess file in :
    /wp-content/cache/minify

    But I read on other posts here they could be one or two more in other lcoations used by w3 tc.

    Regards,

    Eddy

  • I have the same issues with W3 Total Cache: I am sure the ‘system’ can write to my .htaccess file because I can edit it within my WP admin through Yoast SEO plugin (I gave it 666 and could edit it after that, 664 didn’t work) but W3 Total Cache still thinks it cannot access the file (and therefore a lot of things don’t seem to work).

    I use WinSCP (free FTP program) to find .htaccess files (Command->find files) and found out that I have .htaccess files in the following locations:

    /public_html/cgi-bin/
    /public_html/wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/
    /public_html/wp-content/cache/tmp/

    and 5 more locations, I suggest you do a search too.
