Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately “contains” didn’t work either. It’s very likely this is a problem with our site, and not a flaw in WPFC. I’ll let you know if I ever figure it out.

I think our best option is to rebuild the site the way it should be, and move the forum out of the WP directory.

Thanks again!

It’s a WP system, but there is a non-WP forum installed in a subdirectory.

I am guessing that the WPFC entries in public_html/.htaccess are messing up how Apache handles what is in public_html/forum/.

Sorry, I know we have a weird setup. The forum should never have been installed in that subdirectory, but 10 years ago the people who did it thought it would be okay.

This is the first time we’ve tried to add a cache plugin to the WP site, so we’ve never seen this problem before.

I thought Exclude Pages would fix it, but I guess it’s more complicated than that. I’ll try a few experiments and maybe I’ll find a clue.

Ditto what Fizzgigg wrote: same settings, same automatic update from 3.8 to 3.8.1 (but happily it didn’t break my site).

I just want to add THANK YOU for writing this plugin. Even if it’s not working at the moment. ?? WP ought to have included this functionality when they introduced automatic updates.
