[Plugin: WP Super Cache] wp-content/cache/.htaccess file went missing

Just to clarify, this fix is not yet included in any Role Scoper version. The next version to include it would be 1.3.RC4 or 1.3

thank you!

I am new user of two days and I will say that Role Scoper appears to rather complex for me and I have not found a good guide to use so far. The problem is simply me as I do not have the experience.

I was looking for another issue solution and came across this one. I am running 1.3.31 and when I check the file structure I did not see this file located in the /wp-content/cache folder. I only have the folder rs in that directory.

In another post 6 months ago someone posted that they received a 500 server error after they updated, although unrelated, it steered me here in another search.

So am I missing this .htaccess file or is it in one of the subfolders?

The reason I was looking for a solution was that my problem is that unless I am logged in as an admin I can not post any comments to my posts whether I am logged in or not.

I have one category and post exposed to the general public all of the others are hidden. This is to allow the general public to add comments and cause interaction between the membership.

I will create another post for that issue, but if you could update me on the .htaccess file that would be stellar.

royel – you might be better off using PHP caching mode to serve cached pages. No need for .htaccess files and it’s 99.99999% as fast!

Absence of an .htaccess file in the wp-content/cache/uploads folder just means Role Scoper is not filtering any uploaded files (Roles > Options > File Filtering). It has nothing to do with your inability to post comments. And the 500 error was only with PHP4.

Regarding the comment posting issue, I’ll need more details on your configuration and usage because I’m not seeing the error. Where exactly is the failure? Missing “post comment” link? Link is ineffective? Comment entry form displays but submission fails? Are you sure the issue is non-creation of comments and not non-display?

Does this still occur if you temporarily switch to the default theme? If all other plugins are disabled?

What RS Restrictions and Roles did you set? Any customized role definitions or option changes?

Thank you for the replies and I created this post early this morning to discuss my issue. I believe I found the root cause, but need to test some more today.

I will ignore the .htaccess file as it has nothing to me apparently.
