htaccess file is growing

[robruun]

Hi,
After installing HMWP ver. 4.01 on WP 4.1, my htaccess file keeps growing and growing, the content is being multiplied over and over again, and now the file is over 3mb big. ¿what can the problem be?
Thanks,
Robert

Hi, can you please do the following:
– from HMWP > Start tab; generate debug report and send it to us
– attach your htaccess (you may delete some part of it as max upload size is 2 MB only)

You can have only the text below (the first block from your htaccess) in your htaccess file and then change it’s permission to 0555 (read & execute):

# WordPress SEO – XML Sitemap Rewrite Fix
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap_index.xml$ /index.php?sitemap=1 [L]
..
..
..
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

This is temporary solution. It’s difficult to tell whether this issue is just because of HMWP plugin or other plugin or combination of plugins. May be you can try replicating the issue with different plugins enabled and disabled (if possible try disabling all plugins except HMWP) and let us know the result, so that we can further look into it. Thanks!
