Wordpress LScache Plugin: What are the required htaccess permissions
Last Updated on: Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:02 What htaccess permissions does LiteSpeed Cache require? I have htaccess set to 444. Also wondering at what point LiteSpeed removes directives from htaccess. I ask, because this morning I checked a site that was fine yesterday. x-litespeed-cache: hit was in headers. Today, the site had x-litespeed-cache: miss . I checked htaccess and the required LiteSpeed directives were missing from htaccess. I added them back in and all is well now. I cant figure out how/when the LS directives were removed. I have iThemes Security installed. Could that be an issue? Thanks. the .htaccess file should at least have permission for PHP user to write , so ownership and permission both need to be checked LSCWP will add/rewrite the htaccess rules each time you click save in LSCWP setting page and it will remove its rules from htaccess when you disable LSCWP not sure about the security plugin , but I have seen case before as some security plugin may lock and rollback the .htaccess content to its locked status Thanks for the prompt and clear reply. I think I know what to do.
