.htaccess not updated when plugin updates

Hello @thomasduerlund , thank you for downloading the Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP plugin. I am ANDREA and I will help you with your request.

Can you give me some more information about WordPress version, if you use plugin update restrictions is if automatic updates are automatic for our plugin?

I thank you for your answers so I can verify and do some internal testing

best regards

Hi Andrea,

Thaks for getting back to me. WordPress is latest stable version 6.1.1 and all plugin that supports automatic update is set to that.

This happens across multiple site and sites with different server setup. All running latest WordPress version.

thanks for the information @thomasduerlund I will do an internal test to see if I encounter the issue and if so make an update patch

Hi @thomasduerlund, I will update you that the issue seems to be restricted to only some hosting but I want to reassure you that it has been resolved and you should no longer experience this issue since version 5.0.16.

thanks for your topic i was able to fix the problem. Please feel free to contact me for further information or help.

Hi Andrea,

Thank you so much for the help. ?? Great to hear you was able to fix it.

Hi Andrea,

I have tested this on .16, 17 and now 18. The issue still persists. I have to deactive and active the plugin in order to update te .htaccess file with the new changes.

Hi @thomasduerlund , thanks for the feedback I double-checked the processing I had done for the problem the stable version at the moment is 5.0.18 I have effects several changes by listening to user feedback.

I have also performed a test and I detect the automatic htaccess update.

I ask you having now version 5.0.18 if the next version you still notice the problem update ticket, I ask you if the .htaccess file there are restrictions ?

Hi, I came back to you I updated the plugin after testing the fix with the new version 5.0.19, changed some rules that could be blocked or invalid and rewrote for your topic.

You will notice the correct changes to the .htaccess file from version 5.0.19 to the next version 5.0.20.

with version 5.0.19 I fixed some issues reported in version 5.0.18 as described above you will notice the correct operation already from the next update 5.0.20

I will keep the topic open so you can interject, and I am available for any information or help.

Hi @thomasduerlund, I have released version 5.0.20. In order for the changes to take effect, I recommend that you uninstall and delete the previous version (-5.0.19) and install the new version + 5.0.20 so that the automatic changes in the upcoming versions will take effect.

This update implements several fixes of issues that have been reported in this topic and a similar topic to yours. I thank you epr for the feedback and availability ??

For any information or help please do not hesitate to contact me, I am here to help you in the best possible way.

best regards

Hi Andrea,

There’s still issues with the plugin. Updated a few days ago and it only updates some of the .htaccess file while leaving the rest with stuff from previous version.
