Cannot Find .htaccess File in Cache Directory

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:

1. Reinstall the plugin to allow it to recreate the necessary .htaccess file.
2. Manually upload the .htaccess file (attached below) to both of the following directories:
   • wp-content/plugins/{plugin-name}/cache/
   • wp-content/{plugin-name}-cache/
