HTACCESS Autoptimize

Can there be two HTACCESS files inside the hosting?

yes, apache will check each directory for a .htaccess and will apply rules found in one to that directory and child directories.

hope this clarifies,

Can I remove the codes that are in the <HTACCESS> of the AUTOPTIMIZE and put them in the <HTACCESS> of the WORDPRESS?

Another question:

Inside the WORDPRESS <HTACCESS>, I already have a code that I put with rules to take advantage of the browser cache. I mean, in autopmitize there’s a <HTACCESS> with cache codes, and in WORDPRESS there are also cache codes.
What do you think? Can I have a problem?

you can, but AO will re-write them every time you clear the cache. you could however create an (empty) ao htaccess template-file wp-content/AO_htaccess_tmpl in which case AO will use that one.

depends on what is in your own .htaccess, but problems would be unlikely ??

this is the code that is in wordpress htaccess:

#BEGIN cache
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/webp “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/gif “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/png “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/jpg “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/jpeg “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType image/ico “access plus 3 month”
ExpiresByType image/svg+xml “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType text/css “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType text/javascript “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType text/html “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType application/javascript “access plus 1 month”
ExpiresByType application/x-javascript “access plus 1 month”
</IfModule>
#END cache

I did not understand. You tell me to create a folder inside <wp-content>? What name would I give to this folder? Can I put it in place of the <Cache> folder? Would it be this?

this is the code that is in wordpress htaccess:

don’t see any obvious issues there.

No, my point is you can create a file called AO_htaccess_tmpl in wp-content. if it is there AO will use the contents of that file for it’s own .htaccess.

I have a similar issue. My htaccess includes Expires headers, gzip and deflate commands. Do ANY of these serve an useful purpose if i’m using AO? If not, do I just delete them?

(Excellent plugin, by the way!)

they do, actually, for all non-AO’ed resources, so I would leave them be ??
