Basic caching or falcon caching not working

Hi

I’ve just downloaded the latest version (5.3.8) of WordFence and everything is working fine except the caching.

Here is what I have done:

-I have enabled Falcon caching in the performance tab. (I downloaded the backup version of the .htaccess file) – The falcon icon then appeared top-right.
-I have ticked the “Add hidden debugging data to the bottom of the HTML source of cached pages” box and clicked save.
-I then clicked on a few pages on my site, and then clicked on them a second time and viewed the source and there are no debug html comments in the source. Also when I go back to the performance tab and click on “cache stats”, it says “The cache is currently empty. It may be disabled or it may have been recently cleared.”

I tried disabling the caching and then re-enabling it, but it still didn’t work. Likewise, with the basic cache option.

I’d appreciate some help please. 🙂

Here is the contents of the .htaccess file which is located in the root directory:

#WFIPBLOCKS – Do not remove this line. Disable Web Caching in Wordfence to remove this data.
Order Deny,Allow
#Do not remove this line. Disable Web Caching in Wordfence to remove this data – WFIPBLOCKS
#WFCACHECODE – Do not remove this line. Disable Web Caching in Wordfence to remove this data.
