Crashes .htaccess

    Activating plugin produces changes to .htaccess, which then crash system.
    “Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

    Restoring .htaccess from backup makes system work, but I’m reluctant to hand over a system which could break if someone deactivates/reactivates the plugin.

    There is one unusual feature about the site. It WP is actually in a subfolder, but .htaccess makes it look as if it were in public_html.

    I have tried other similar plugins, which produce the same result, so there may be something about my WP (I am not the original author).

    Found the problem, though not the solution.

    The problem is not this excellent plugin, which I have unjustly maligned.

    Activating or deactivating any plugin rewrites .htaccess, which breaks the system.

    This is presumably something to do with the original design of the website, which I had no part in.
