• I installed W3TC earlier this year and everything was running fine. I set up a MaxCDN account and configured W3TC to work with it but now I see these two red box messages at the top of the W3TC plugin page:

    “It appears Page Cache URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess or if using nginx verify all configuration files are included in the configuration.”

    “It appears Minify URL rewriting is not working. If using apache, verify that the server configuration allows .htaccess or if using nginx verify all configuration files are included in the configuration.”

    I was told by a friend that it appears that my mod_rewrite and minify modules are not turned on. I checked with my hosting company be sure they are installed on apache hosting server but perhaps they need to be turned on via .htaccess. So make things quick, I will include the .htaccess file here. My question, how can I fix this? Thanks.

    I subsequently found a post on blog that said to change permissions on the .htaccess file in the min folder from 604 to 644 but that didn’t work. I also turned off the minification of js and css with no luck.

    But I do see that many of my W3TC updated files/folders have permissions: 604/705. Should they be 644/755?

    W3TC htaccess rules must be before wordpress access rules.

    Can you ask your host what the correct file permissions (and group / ownership) is?
