# [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Empty directories

 * I have a site with, lets say three subpages/blogs:
    blogA.mycoolbloogs.com blogB.
   mycoolbloogs.com blogC.mycoolbloogs.com
 * I’ve installed WP Super Cache and it works fine, but I’ve noticed that many spam
   bots calls random adresses such as:
 * aaaaaa.mycoolbloogs.com
    a234f445faa.mycoolbloogs.com
 * WP Super Cache creates empty directories for them in cache directory. How to 
   fix this in easy way?

 * Unfortunately that’s a WordPress issue. It responds to all requests and serves
   something. You could add a .htaccess rule that redirects unknown hostnames to
   one of your current sites?

 * That one solution, but inconvinient – every time I add new blog I would need 
   to update .htaccess. Some code changes would be much better.
 * And I think that’s WP Super Cache issue, because directories are created in its
   cache directory.

 * What do you see when you go to one of these random urls? I thought about it and
   it should go to [http://example.com/wp-signup.php?new=aaaaaaaaaaa](http://example.com/wp-signup.php?new=aaaaaaaaaaa)
   rather than serve the domain. That’s what happens on my multisite site.

 * I’ve seen something recently as well where folders are being created in my supercache
   that are variations of my primary domain with a trailing period. (mydomain.com
   <- good -vs- mydomain.com. <- not good)
 * Has anyone seen that before? Any ideas on how to prevent it (suggestions on .
   htaccess rules perhaps?)
