   Hello,

   I just installed the WP-Super-Cache plugin... thanks so much to the creator. Seems like it will be very useful...

   For me WP_Super_Cache seems to be working but for some reason the .htaccess file in my root is not showing up the way the plugin installation instruction says it should..

   I was hoping some one can help me out by letting me know if my solution is correct.

   My .htaccess file looks like this...

   # BEGIN WPSuperCache
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz [L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]
   <strong></IfModule>
   
   # END WPSuperCache
   
   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c></strong>
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   The wp-super-cache installation says .htaccess should look similar to this....

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz [L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*attachment_id=.*
   RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

   It does look similar but my file has two sets of <IfModule mod_rewrite.c></IfModule mod_rewrite.c> tags.... with most of the code in the first set and the last part in the second set of tags... is this ok or should I move it all into one set of <IfModule mod_rewrite.c></IfModule mod_rewrite.c> tags?

   Like this...

   # BEGIN WPSuperCache
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html.gz [L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*[^/]$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*//.*$
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !=POST
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*=.*
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:Cookie} !^.*(comment_author_|wordpress|wp-postpass_).*$
   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html -f
   RewriteRule ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/index.html [L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>

   Or is my .htaccess file fine the way it is.

   Any ideas would be greatly appreaciated... this is my first shot at setting WP and I am not a programmer.

   Thank you
   Eric
