# [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Improved support for BulletProof Security

 * The helper texts that are displayed could be improved for those users who are
   running the [BulletProof Security](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulletproof-security/)
   plugin. That plugin is used to create secure .htaccess files and has a specific
   section for custom .htaccess code, which should be employed in order to avoid
   overwriting.
 * At least these two messages are currently leading those who are using BPS to 
   do that sort of manual editing they should instead avoid:
    - When using PHP caching, there’s a warning message to add #WPSuperCache to 
      the root .htaccess
    - When using mod_rewrite caching, there’s a big chunk of copy-paste that the
      user is told to do directly to the root .htaccess
 * Querying for whether BPS is active and displaying a slightly different message
   if it is would help all users avoid this loop:
    1. WP Super Cache tells to edit .htaccess files manually
    2. When done, BulletProof Security tells that the .htaccess files aren’t the safe
       ones it has created and need to be recreated
    3. Repeat from start.
 * Of course, if WP Super Cache could somehow suggest BulletProof Security what 
   to add to the Custom .htaccess code section and the user would just need to click
   Accept, that would be the most convenient, but it probably has a too high work-
   to-payoff ratio to implement as it might require creators of both plugins to 
   do coordinated modifications.

 * I don’t use that security plugin so unless someone else submits a patch I don’t
   think WP Super Cache will support it, sorry.

 * [@daedalon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daedalon/) – Yep plugins should
   always try to play nice with other plugins, but conflicts do arise and since 
   plugin authors do not collaborate with each other then we try to follow the unspoken
   rules of the road. Since all the plugins in the Repository are freely donated
   coding work and time it would be very unusual for plugin authors to extend that
   coding work and time in a collaborative or coordinated way.
 * BPS does include specific coding for WPSC to check for potential conflicts and
   does display an admin notice alert with help info on what needs to be done to
   correct the issue. And a link to the WPSC option settings page. This is of course
   not typical or standard, but extended bonus code to make troubleshooting simple
   and easy between WPSC and BPS.
