.htaccess being updated everyday

    My .htaccess file is being updated every night.

    Most of the file is made up of W3TC lines and then at the end I have this for permalinks

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    At about the same day every early morning the file is changed so that the above changes to:

    # BEGIN WordPress

    # END WordPress

    All the W3TC remains static. How can I trace what is making these changes as I then get 404 errors on every page until I click Save on Permalink settings again.

    Thanks

    That’s not good.

    Try the usual troubleshooting 101 steps.

    Have you tried:
    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress.
