If I remove @route part, so these lines from the Caddyfile :

@cache {
		not header_regexp Cookie "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_logged_in"
		not path_regexp "(/wp-admin/|/xmlrpc.php|/wp-(app|cron|login|register|mail).php|wp-.*.php|/feed/|index.php|wp-comments-popup.php|wp-links-opml.php|wp-locations.php|sitemap(index)?.xml|[a-z0-9-]+-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml)"
		not method POST
		not expression {query} != ''
    }

    route @cache {
        try_files /wp-content/cache/cache-enabler/{host}{uri}/index.html {path} {path}/index.php?{query}
    }

The reload works fine. So I guess it’s an issue with the request matcher ?

I have looked again at the request matchers documentation and I don’t see what could be the cause of the problem. Let me know if you need more information to debug this.

Thanks !

Hi Nicolas! Can you try the CI build artifacts of PR#3526 (found here) and let me know if it works fine without any error?

And I can confirm Caddy 2.1.1 (also) fixes the issue. It makes sens of course, but anyway, thanks to everyone involved ! :+1:
