[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] .htaccess file

  • The entry that w3 total cache is adding to my .htaccess file is making the page inaccessible. Do I need this entry in there? Can I remove it? Is there a way to disable w3 from adding to .htaccess?

  • @ fredericktownes Hi Frederick I blog @ techGyo.com I’ve read a lot about W3 Total Cache and I tried to install it in my blog. It was not a fresh install, because I’ve been using Super cache so far. I uninstalled and deleted super cache before installing W3 Total Cache, but I couldn’t actiavate the plugin.

    I’m getting error message:
    ——————————————

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    /home/techgyoc/public_html/.htaccess is not write-able, please run following command:
    chmod 777 /home/techgyoc/public_html/.htaccess

    ——————————————

    So I went to Cpanel and changed folder permission and tried again. But it is still giving me the same error message while trying to activate.

    Can you please advice the steps to be taken when installing W3 Total Cache on a wordpress which already had a cache plugin? and also please advice the changes to be made to .htaccess file.

    You will need to start all over again. Delete the W3 plugin completely along with any files or scripts it created. Then change the permission first before you even download it.
    Good luck.

    Thanks for the tip, But I’m sorry the issue still persists.

    I think there was some major issue occurred in the previous installation.

    The error message was about your .htaccess file, not a folder. Also I recommend trying the development version of the plugin instead: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/w3-total-cache/download/

    Thanks for the quick response! Let me try the development version and keep you updated with the result

    Hmmm.. Still getting the same error:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    /home/techgyoc/public_html/.htaccess is not write-able, please run following command:
    chmod 777 /home/techgyoc/public_html/.htaccess

    Change permissions on file chmod 777 /home/techgyoc/public_html/.htaccess
    but not on directory /home/techgyoc/public_html/

    @ fredericktownes It works like charm!! My blog is much faster that ever before!! I’m really thankful to all guys who suppoted me to get this thing work in my blog!

    Very good @srj.cooldude
