All images blocked by MC4WP

I’ve got the same problem on 4.8.1 – what was the resolution here?

I am having the same problem. When I delete the content inside .htaccess (located in wp-content/uploads) or the file itself it solves the problem. But after a few hours it comes back. How can I fix this? All of my plugins and theme are up to date. I am using Apache 2.4.25 and this is what is inside the .htaccess file:
# MC4WP Start
# Apache 2.2
<IfModule !authz_core_module>
<Files mc4wp-debug-log.php>
deny from all
</Files>
</IfModule>
# Apache 2.4+
<IfModule authz_core_module>
<Files mc4wp-debug-log.php>
Require all denied
</Files>
</IfModule>
# MC4WP End

What version of MC4WP plugin are you using?

Thanks for letting me know.

I am using 4.8.1

We’ve fixed this in our plugin, an update will be released next week to solve this issue. Thanks for reporting the issue to us.

This seems still not to be fixed, I just had a similar issue. In my error.log I can see the message
uploads/.htaccess: Require not allowed here

The .htaccess looks like this:

# MC4WP Start
# Apache 2.2
<IfModule !authz_core_module>
<Files mc4wp-debug-log.php>
deny from all
</Files>
</IfModule>
# Apache 2.4+
<IfModule authz_core_module>
<Files mc4wp-debug-log.php>
Require all denied
</Files>
</IfModule>
# MC4WP End

using Apache/2.4.25 (Debian)

What version of Mailchimp for WP are you using?

The newest one 4.8.1. I just installed it a couple days ago

Since this file only has something to do with the debug logging, is there a way to just turn off the re-generation of the .htaccess-File under uploads? I don’t care too much about the log to be honst, I just want my page to keep displaying it’s content properly

You can try this code snippet to disable logging but im not sure if that also disables the htaccess line: https://github.com/ibericode/mc4wp-snippets/blob/master/misc/disable-log-debugging.php

I just commented out all lines in the .htaccess-file since deletion of the file didn’t help, it gets recreated. So far it doesn’t look like the file gets overwritten, but I’m not a 100% sure when this would happen if it happened.
