[Plugin: W3 Total Cache] w3 rewriting error?

Can you please submit a bug submission form from the support tab of the plugin? This is likely a permissions issue.

Frederick,

This (catastrophic) issue has been reported several times in various forms and is so far not addressed. It is not a permissions issue. It is an error in the script in locating the cache directories on the host server. Your method only works with some standard host configurations, but fails with others.

Anyone having problems with minification can easily test this by hard coding the cache paths and document roots in the following files:

MinifyAdmin.php $cache_dir
TotalCacheAdmin.php $document_root
CdnAdmin.php $document_root
MinifyAdmin.php $cache_dir
PgCacheAdmin.php $cache_path

and presto, Total-Cache magically begins to work. I have since dug around other core files and it looks like the error is likely affecting the entire plugin.

Having users hack around core functions is not a good idea. Assuming you are unable to fix this any time soon, can you please suggest where a better point is to hard code these paths so it is picked up by the entire script.

Thanks much

I’m also having this problem. I’m using the Thesis theme. Can’t get W3 Total Cache to work

Same problem using latest wp version & w3 total cache 0.9.2.4.

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.

But the plugin write the .htaccess file… So what’s wrong with it?

I think W3TC is the best plug-in for cache friendly with google page speed, pingdom, etc…

If there’s any issue, is there any other plug-in who allows to minify css & js and who use cache?

wp super cache is cool but doesn’t minify and google page speed doesn’t see the cache use…

@johnfulton, thanks for the input. Will try to improve this in the next release.
