.htacces file not writeable

    Hi,

    I’m using this great plugin and some features have to write the .htaccess file. I want to block some IP’s and that one also has to write the .htaccess file.

    I always first grant access to wwwroot via cpanel when I’m editting something on my website. I think my host is not a linux based server.

    When I try to block some IP, I get the next error: “The plugin was unable to write to the .htaccess file. Please edit file manually.”

    That makes sense, because I don’t have any .htaccess file (yet)…

    I did not have any .htaccess file in my wwwroot/ directory. So, I made one by myself and uploaded to wwwroot via Filezilla (cpanel doesn’t). After that, it still giving the same error. After that I deleted the .htaccess file. When I did try to upload again later, I couldn’t! Also not when I change name of .htaccess file before uploading..

    So, I did read a lot about the .htaccess file and just saw that WP makes automaticly a .htaccess file (if you don’t have one) when you change your permalink settings to the “year, month, day and name” option. I just did that, but than it says: “permalink structure updated. Remove write access on web.config file!” When I look, I see nothing changed. WP still uses postnames for url’s.

    However, when I did want to block IP adresses I met this problem with the .htaccess file (and also web.config file). How can I resolve this? Anyone any ideas? Thank you!

    @just Here, I have replied to your other support thread.

    I’m having this problem with the plugin “All In One WP Security” when configured appears message “The plugin was unable to write to the .htaccess file. Please edit file manually.” .htaccess, But I’m having trouble editing manually, I wonder if even not writing in .htaccess the plugin continues to protect my website.

    Okay, guys,

    My host did enable url rewrite function by editting the web.config file. I don’t know why, but ok…

    They also did make a .htaccess file. It is there now under my wwwroot folder!
    But still, when I want to block any IP, the plugin gives an error and sais the .htaccess file couldn’t be editted…

    Any help? Idea?

    TY,

    Sef

    I have the same problem, I can not write in the .htaccess, my doubt is if the IPs are blocked even not writing in .htaccess

    @ Marcos Any updates?

    Hello, I solved the problem by putting this code in the .htaccess file

    <RewriteEngine On>

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^ index \ .php $ – [L]
    RewriteCond% {REQUEST_FILENAME}! -f
    RewriteCond% {REQUEST_FILENAME}! -d
    RewriteRule. /index.php [L]
    </ IfModule>

    Thank you for asking.

    I’m not good at pro coding, I don’t know what those codes are, but I don’t have any other option, so I will try that.
