You shouldn’t think, that you have to do with a dumb user. I’m pretty sure, that’s not the case. ??

First of all, when WordPress can’t write to .htaccess, it shows the code the developer should put into .htaccess.

Second, there is an .htaccess for sure. But website directory and WordPress directory are different for security reasons. And I’m using custom permalink settings, which should be supported as well.

W3 Total Cache does find my .htaccess without any problems!

.htaccess was not found

As I said, I’d wanna see, what the plugin wants to write to .htaccess in such a case.

Nice, please don’t forget about the ./admin/images/ folder as well. Same savings possibilities apply there.
Cheers!

Great, that you like the ideas!
Yeah, over the past years I’ve experienced the superiority of tools like PNGCrush over Smush.it

See here, that’s new with WordPress 3.4

@frank Yes, I’ve checked without Admin Menu Editor activated and it works. Still irritating.

@trevornet’s fix works for me too (WP 3.1.1/More Types 1.1).
