[Plugin: WP Super Cache] Mod Rewrite Rules – Necessary to Add?

  • I just installed WP Super Cache to use on a blog I’m developing. I noticed in the configuration area that there are Mod Rewrite Rules that “need” to be added “to serve static html files”. However, when I added the lines to my .htaccess file, I got a 500 Internal Server Error. I took the lines out again, and it was fine. (The plugin is still enabled.) I checked the source of the pages and they are indeed being cached. (Also, the page I requested not be cached isn’t.) So, by all appearances it’s working. Why would I not need those lines in .htaccess? Am I missing something? Any explanation/pointers would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Make sure Apache has mod_rewrite loaded. Read the readme.txt

    It is. I just got a little confused, (it’s not too hard for that to happen! ;), by that bit in the admin area and wanted to make sure I didn’t need to add anything else.

    Thanks!

    if you change your permalink structure to one that doesn’t include a ‘?’, then go back to Super Cache panel, you will find that you can now amend the htaccess automatically, without all the faffing about..!!

    Took me a while to work out why sometimes it worked, and others not!
