 * Firstly apologies if this problem has been covered here before ( with a solution).
   I have searched through the forum so far and not found a solution.
 * Over the weekend a client’s website’s css dropped out ,wasn’t loading. We figured
   it was the w3 total cache plugin not generating the minified css , the plugin
   was disabled and the website started loading up all styled up OK
 * The weird thing is nothing had changed a few days prior before the plugin minification
   failed, no new plugins added, no new code, etc. What’s stranger for me is that
   the development copy that runs on my local work machine is also having the same
   issue. No automatic updates that I can see, nothing I can see at this stage that
   could have caused a change to both copies of the site.
 * The error reported by the plugin is –
 * Minify URL rewriting is not working. Please verify that the server configuration
   allows .htaccess
 * Have tried regenerating the .htaccess file but that hasn’t helped.
 * Little unsure what could have happened, hoping this is something simple/obvious
   I have missed.
 * Thanks
