Do I need an htaccess file in wp-admin folder?

  • Hi –

    I don’t really understand .htaccess files.

    Could somebody briefly explain why it is important to have an htaccess file in my wp-admin folder, and why specifically that folder? Also, what is the minimum essential code that should be in an htaccess file in the wp-admin folder? Do I have a serious security hole in my WP installation if I don’t have an htaccess file in my wp-admin folder?

    Many thanks – I would like to get this cleared up!
