Thanks, I’ve just sent an email

@wfpeter and other users that might have same issue – I was finally able to hide .user.ini. To do it, I replaced

<Files ".user.ini">
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
	Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
	Order deny,allow
	Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>

with simpler condition:

<Files ".user.ini">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>

website and WF are seem to be working properly after the change.

Thanks for checking that for me @wfpeter !

I checked and indeed my .htaccess file contains below:

# Wordfence WAF
<Files ".user.ini">
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>
# END Wordfence WAF

I checked with my hosting provider – unfortunately, it’s impossible to set anything in php.ini as it’s shared hosting. It’s only possible to modify php settings via .user.ini

Any ideas on how to hide this file? ??

Thanks for getting in touch! Nope, it’s not from me, maybe it didn’t go through because I was doing it using smartphone.

I’ve just now manually sent an email containing mentioned txt debug file, it should be delivered by now.

Hi @msaari thanks for quick and meaningful response, I used your code and it worked, thanks!
What came as surprise to me it’s that main page search still works quite the same as before adding those 2 lines. Results seem to be the same, but order of search results is different, which is fine. If I may know, what exactly happens after applying above code? It’s not the same as disabling Relevanssi plugin, am I correct?

I’ve managed to fix it. You just need to replace 2 lines of code ??
I did PR at github, but I don’t know whether this repo is still active:
https://github.com/wp-plugins/polylang-theme-strings/pull/1/files

If you want to fix it manually, you just need to go to
`/wp-content/plugins/polylang-theme-strings/mw-polylang-theme-strings.php’, and change line 89 and 90 from:
register_activation_hook($this->Path_Get('plugin_file_index'), array($this, 'Install'));
register_uninstall_hook($this->Path_Get('plugin_file_index'), array($this, 'Uninstall'));
to:
register_activation_hook($this->Path_Get('plugin_file_index'), 'Install');
register_uninstall_hook($this->Path_Get('plugin_file_index'), 'Uninstall');

BTW do you know how I can propose this changes to the author in more dev way? ??
