I’ve been using the standard HTACCESS settings and was under the impression everything was working properly. Today I enabled the fallback method (php) and now it’s really working! I went as far as making a manual edit to one of the cached index.html files to verify both modes and the .htaccess rules are not working at all.

I tried moving the rules to the top and the bottom of the .htaccess to see if they were being overridden, no change. Only the PHP version is working.

I also tried wrapping the rules in <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>…</IfModule> without success.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Hi @tmcguire, sorry to hear that. Confirming this is a Apache Server right? Secondly, I would suggest you to remove the rules you added manually. Then deactivate the Serve Static plugin, and reactivate it. If got appropriate access, the plugin should auto-add the required .htaccess code.

If this is still not working, feel free to ping and share with me via the support form found under the Serve Static > Support, your site details and I can take a look what’s happening.

Yes — this is Apache. I have removed the Serve Static .htaccess rules, and deactivated/reactivated the plugin. Upon reactivation, .htaccess rules reappear. Cleared the cache, regenerated a full cache and verified the cache files exist on the server.

Disabled the PHP fallback method and the plugin is not serving the cached file. If I turn ON the PHP fallback, it serves the cached file. Tested on 2 different web sites in different homdir’s

There are no errors in the logs and mod_security is not being triggered. There are no other caching plugins installed.

Tested on 2 seperate websites. Same issue is on both.

I think I just fixed it.

I replaced your function with my own and now it’s working. There were mixed paty types in yoru rewrite contidions and rules in Activate.php. It was creating double folder paths.
```
public function rules(){
    $begin = '# BEGIN Serve Static Cache';
    $end = '# END Serve Static Cache';

    $site_url = get_site_url();

    // Parse the URL
    $parsed_url = wp_parse_url($site_url);

    // Check if there is a path component in the URL
    if(isset($parsed_url['path']) && !empty($parsed_url['path'])) {
        // Get the folder name from the path
        $folders = explode('/', trim($parsed_url['path'], '/'));
        $folder_name = $folders[0]; // Assuming the folder is the first component of the path

        // Now $folder_name contains the name of the subdirectory (if it exists)
        $folder = $folder_name;
    }

    if ( ! isset( $folder ) ) { //If not on sub-folder, then do nothing
        $folder = '';
    } else {
        $folder = '/' . $folder;
    }

    if ( ! defined( 'WP_CONTENT_FOLDERNAME' ) ){
        define( 'WP_CONTENT_FOLDERNAME', 'wp-content' );
    }
```
