Without htaccess can the plugin still securely work?

    Hey,

    Our hosting environment is disabling .htaccess, and I was wondering if Akismet relies on .htaccess for functionality, or if it will still work and be secure without using .htaccess.

    No, Akismet doesn’t need .htaccess to function. It just provides a little bit of extra security against hacks that might place files in the Akismet plugin folder in order to try and avoid detection.
