Wordpress LScache Plugin: LS Creating Addtional .htaccess Files
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 Hello, The plugin is creating additional .htaccess files that are easy to view via web browser. This is a really, really bad idea. How do we fix this? Hi, The LSWS itself already prohibits access to . file , like .htaccess. I assume you are not using LSWS/OLS ? If that is case, please try add RewriteRule .htaccess - [F] To your .htaccess , this rule should prohibit all request to such files. Best regards, Hi, We are using LS cache in 2 sites , one with LSWS and the other one without it. The one without the LSWS was the one creating the issue. We implemented the code you gave us and it works, thanks for that. We were surprised by this because Cloudflare blocks this type of incursions, but we discovered that Cloudlfare will only block one .htaccess file and no other copies of it. Regards, Hi, Yes, I shall advice our devs to built a feature to block .htaccess in case from non-LSWS server. Best regards,
