Problem
You receive an error indicating that the .htaccess
file is missing in the plugin's cache folder. This file is typically created automatically when the plugin is activated.
Cause: External Removal of .htaccess File
This issue usually occurs when an external process or tool removes the .htaccess
file from the plugin’s cache folder. This could be due to a security plugin, manual file management, or server-side settings that automatically delete or restrict certain files.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, you have two options:
- Reinstall the plugin to allow it to recreate the necessary
.htaccess
file. - Manually upload the
.htaccess
file (attached below) to both of the following directories:wp-content/plugins/{plugin-name}/cache/
wp-content/{plugin-name}-cache/
