    Greetings:

    Been running into this issue for a while now, but it seems that WP Supercache is constantly overwriting my .htaccess file which is a bad thing because we have a lot of important customization in there including a fairly extensive set of 301 redirects.

    Unfortunately, I often need to turn the plugin off and on temporarily to make changes to the site. Toggling it like this causes the .htaccess to be over written.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hello @jmarcello,

    I’ve installed WPSC on many websites together with custom rules into .htaccess. As I know, WP and WPSC don’t touch .htaccess outside their section.

    I recommend you to create separate section for your rules. My .htaccess has this structure:

    ## BEGIN - My Custom Redirects
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^.....$ ..... [R=301,L]
.....
</IfModule>
## END - My Custom Redirects

# BEGIN WPSuperCache
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
.....
</IfModule>

# END WPSuperCache

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Don’t put anything into WPSUperCache or WordPress section (it’s big chance to WP overwrites rules on “flush rules”, deactivate/activate cache plugins). Your rules should have higher priority (in almost all cases) and it’s reason why I added them to the beginning of .htaccess.

    I’ll try to help you (and check on my test server) if you send me more details.

    Regards,
    Sasa
