The issue seemed to be with the version of WordPress I was using. I just upgraded from 2.9.2 to the current 3.0.4 and the warning is gone. The upload path was OK, so I guess W3 Total Cache didn’t like my version of WordPress.

All seems to be good now running WordPress 3.0.4.

Thanks!

Nevermind. After extensive searching I found out how to do it.

This order of rules within your .htaccess file is VERY important. Use the following structure when listing your rules (which means the rewrite rules go above the W3TC rules):

Custom Rules

W3TC Rules

WordPress Rules

Also, you have to use the correct rewrite code within .htaccess. The following is what I use for our MediaTemple hosting, per the MediaTemple knowledgebase. I tried another suggestion and got into a 301 redirect loop, so I went with what MediaTemple told me (funny how that works)! Note: replace “example” with your URL. Note2: I put the rewrite code within an <IfModule> as shown below per a suggestion from Frederick in another post. Not sure if this is necessary, but it seems to work, so I am leaving it.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
