    Hello,

    Some of the rules in .htaccess is not work well with my site, such as movie caching timeframe so I remove those rule from .htaccess file. Strangely, after sometime (around 12 hours) the .htaccess file tend to fix itself and add those rules back.

    Did someone here get similar issue? Can you recommend a way to solve it?

    Thank you.

    you probably need to change the caching time frame as you put it to a number more suitable. OR disable that respective module.

    Hello, it was on Page Cache, I choose cache reload each 30 minutes and Garbage collection run each 60 minutes but it still not work (the video URL expires after 12 hours).

    I changed .htaccess to Read Only and it did solve the issue, but is it a good idea to make such change on .htaccess?

    Thanks.

    It should be fine it will prevent W3 from writing to it. Some plugins might need to write to it but for most sites it should be fine having it ready only.
