When migrating from an hosting provider to another, backup/restore operation copied cache management files useful only from the source hosting provider.
These files are located in wp-content/mu-plugins
PHP code inside looks like this :
function hooks() {
add_filter( ‘mod_rewrite_rules’, array( $this, ‘htaccess_contents’ ), 99 );
}
function htaccess_contents( $rules ) {
$handler = get_option( ‘epe_php_handler’, ‘application/x-httpd-php70s’ );
$handler = ‘AddHandler ‘ . $handler . ‘ .php’ . “\n”;
return $handler . $rules;
}
