Arty	Background of the issue: I am trying to enable the WP Fastest Cache plugin while WPML Multilingual CMS is active. When WPML is active, I receive a message from the WP Fastest Cache plugin stating that .htaccess was not found. If I deactivate WPML, the plugin works. I have checked and confirmed that there is a .htaccess file available with the correct permissions. Symptoms: The WP Fastest Cache plugin displays an error message: '.htaccess was not found' when WPML Multilingual CMS is active. Questions: Why does the WP Fastest Cache plugin report that .htaccess is not found when WPML is active? How can I resolve the conflict between WPML Multilingual CMS and WP Fastest Cache?

I'll help you get started while a supporter takes your case. That issue is indeed quite weird. can you tell us if it also happens with any particular setting? and also where are you seeing the problem? I tested this on a clean site to see if i could recreate the problems and couldn't so it could be i'm missing something. You can check it out yourself here: hidden link Regards.

Arty	I see, here it works indeed. What kind of relation has the WPML plugin with htaccess?

Waqas Bin Hasan WPML Supporter since 05/2014 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Hello Arty, Sometimes, third-party plugins call the flush_rewrite_rules(true) function too often. This leads to changes in the rewrite rules in your .htaccess file, which can cause issues on your WordPress site. Since it is working fine in the above mentioned sandbox, it sounds like a compatibility issue with one of the plugins in your site, can you please check the next link and try the suggested workaround: - https://wpml.org/errata/htaccess-is-rewritten-with-language-folder/ Let us know how it goes. I'll also suggest to check with only WPML and WP Fastest Cache enabled, with a default WordPress theme like 2021 or 2024 (while every other thing is deactivated). IMPORTANT: Please take full backup of your website and database beforehand. It is highly advised to try this on a staging/dev site first, so your live website isn't compromised. If problem still continues, please also provide the debug information of your website for an overview of your setup. See https://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/ for more information. I've enabled the debug information section for your next reply. Additionally you can also take a look at https://wpml.org/faq/checklist-before-opening-a-ticket-in-wpml-support/ and cross-check for a few initial fixes.
