Known Issues
WP Super Cache
There seems to be a conflict with the WP Super Cache plugin where a redirect will only work once before the cache is cleared. There are a couple of workarounds:
- Add “index.php” on a new line in the “Rejected URLs” field of the WP Super Cache options page. yourdomain.com/ will be cached still, but /index.php won’t.
- Frederick of frederickding.com put together another method. Add this line to your.htaccess file above the WP Super Cache line: “RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}!. gocode=. ” It should look something like this:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}!. gocode=.
