    An option that requires the .htaccess file is enabled, but the file is not writable. Please add the following lines to your .htaccess, or set it to writable:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L] </IfModule> Options -Indexes

    Can anyone clarify what this means actually? I know how to give it access, but can anyone explain it?

    Hi @mercilesss,

    The message means that the plugin tried writing these rules to your .htaccess file to enable the functionalities in question, but that it was unable to do so on your environment.

    Therefore the plugin prompts you to either add these lines to the file manually, or to allow the plugin to write to that file, so that it can perform these changes for you.

    Kind regards, Jarno

    Could you explain to me what these ‘rules’ are? Should i allow this plugin to have write privileges to my .htaccess file?

    These rules handle the redirect to https.

    You can choose the method you prefer: give writing access and let the plugin add it, or add it manually by pasting the rules in the htaccess file.

    Let me know if you have any additional questions.
