Which htaccess needs to be modified?

  • As soon as I activate WP Super Cache, all pages in my /blog directory are blank & white. I have to SSH in and delete all its files to get things working again. Yes, I read the instructions about removing a couple items before activating.

    The behavior leads me to suspect it is an htaccess issue. WP is installed in a subdirectory at sitename.com/blog, and there are htaccess files at sitename.com/ and at sitename.com/blog/. Which one, or both, should have the htaccess modifications applied? Do they need to be modified to accommodate the fact that WP is in a subdirectory?

  • For default, if you are not set cache mode to “mod_rewrite”, all possible htaccess changes are not necessary. This plugin uses only root and /cache directories, so in most cases inner htaccess don’t have an effect.

    You can try remove your not-standart htaccess from all directories, and try enable this plugin again.

    You can add the browser cache rules manually to your .htaccess file in the root of your site files (same level as wp-content & wp-admin) (*take a backup first! **don;t disturb or insert within any existing rules *** if you use the final manager in cPanel you may need to enable “show hidden files”):

    # BEGIN Expire headers
