Database htaccess error

  • OK, I recently upgraded WP and I just upgraded all of my plugins that had notices to upgrade. Well, now I have an error:

    “Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public

    To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home/sunny7l/public_html/hell/wp-content/backup-db“

    I moved it, but the error remains. How can I get rid of this error, and make sure the folder isn’t visible to the public?

  • where did you put the .htaccess? your blog is installed in https://yourdomain.com/wp-content/hell but if you veiw your source, its looking for it inside https://yourdomain.com/

    does this exist?

    /home/sunny7l/public_html/hell/wp-content/backup-db…

    how about this?

    /home/sunny7l/public_html/wp-content/backup-db…

    No, neither one of those exists. And apparently neither does “/home/” so I really don’t know what to do now. ??

    In FileZilla, I moved it:
    From: /public_html/hell/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager
    To: /public_html/hell/wp-content/backup-db

    But when I type in anything that starts with “/home/” it says, “Failed to retrieve directory listing.”

    I can’t get rid of the error message. I am probably going to re-install 2.7 because another essential plugin I use is not functioning (AJAXed).

    sure .. /home is above your web root.

    Im trying not to divulge your url.

    your web root is inside public_html

    so you need to be looking here:

    public_html/hell/wp-content/backup-db…

    or here:

    public_html/wp-content/backup-db …

    what I am pointing out is that One has /hell one doesnt.

    where is the backup folder REALLY located?

    and if youre just going to reinstall than forget it. ??

    Well, it should be located in hell. ??

    I don’t have anything in “/public_html/” except the folders for my domains I use/have stuff on.

    And I switched back to 2.7, but I still have this error showing. I’m thinking I might just uninstall it. ??

    OK! I figured it out! ?? When I moved it, it was renamed to “htaccess.txt” and I just renamed it “.htaccess” and the error warning vanished.

    Thanks so much for your help! ??
