Minify and Page Cache URL rewriting is not working

Hello @luz7

Thank you for reaching out and I am happy to assist you with this.
Can you please share if you are using Apache or Nginx or Apache+Nginx?

Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for the answer. I’m using apache.

Hello @luz7

Thank you for your feedback.
Just to confirm, you’ve checked that the rewrite rules in the Performance>Install are the same as in your .htaccess file?
Have you also checked if the permissions are correct and if the rules are there for /wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/.htaccess and /wp-content/cache/minify/.htaccess?
Check the .htaccess Permission
Most cases are caused by file permission of “.htaccess“, find this file at the root of your web directory.
The recommended permission is 644 – chmod 644 .htaccess
Check your Apache configuration file – httpd.conf, make sure AllowOverride All is applied to your directory.
Also, check the sequence of the rules that appear in “.htaccess“, and make sure WordPress’s rule appears AFTER the w3tc rules.

Please check the content of the wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/ and folder wp-content/cache/minify/. If you see that the pages and minified files are being cached there, you can ignore the error. In some cases, the plugin cannot detect if the rewrite rules work because of server restrictions or similar. The server cannot get a correct response (200 OK) when visiting a certain URL. That doesn’t mean they don’t work, but you have to verify them yourself.

Hi

In /home/uvsu9023/bluelight.blue/.htaccess the following code were missing ( I added now ) :

# BEGIN W3TC WEBP
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} image/webp
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (.+)\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$
    RewriteCond %1\.webp -f
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !type=original
    RewriteRule (.+)\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$ $1.webp [NC,T=image/webp,E=webp,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    <FilesMatch "\.(jpe?g|png|gif)$">
        Header append Vary Accept
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>
AddType image/webp .webp
# END W3TC WEBP

How can I change permissions to 644 in .htaccess ?

Thanks

Hi

I changed .htaccess permission in 644. I tried to add the following code to my .htaccess because I don’t have access to httpd.conf
<directory>
AllowOverride All
</directory>

I don’t know how to name the directory. I asked my host O2switch witch directory I should write and he proposed /home/uvsu9023/bluelight.blue or /bluelight.blue but it didn’t work. I don’t think it’s the good directory. I can’t fix the problem.
Indeed I followed all the other devices. And everything seems to be Ok.

Do you have an idea of the directory I should write ?

Thanks for your help.

<Directory “/***/***”>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Sorry Directory not directory…

Hello @luz7

Thank you for your feedback.
Have you checked that the rewrite rules in the Performance>Install are the same as in your .htaccess file?
This also includes the rules for /wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/.htaccess and /wp-content/cache/minify/.htaccess?

Visit the Performance>Install page in the W3 Total Cache plugin. And see if the rules provided there (Once any setting using the .htaccess is enabled the rewrite rules will be provided) match the rules in the mentioned .htaccess files in the /minify/ and /page_enhaced/ folders.

Thanks!

Hello

Thanks for your feedback.
Yes the rewrite rules in the Performance>Install are the same that in my .htaccess files ( at the root, /wp-content/cache/page_enhanced/.htaccess and /wp-content/cache/minify/.htaccess ).

Thanks

Hello @luz7

Thank you for your feedback.
Well, this is very strange. Do you have any files created in the /minify/ and /page_enhaced/ folders?
Are you by any chance on litespeed server?
Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for your feedback.
I finally changed my plugin cache.

Thanks for your help.
