My site sent me to a 404 forbidden .htaccess warning after putting the code in the file, so I had to remove it. please can you point me in the right direction to find a good tutorial to make a custom plugin. or how much to have you do it for me?

Will this work?

<?php

// Exit if accessed directly
if ( !defined('ABSPATH')) exit;

/**
 *
 * WARNING: Please do not edit this file in any way
 *
 * load the theme function files
 */
require ( get_template_directory() . '/includes/functions.php' );
require ( get_template_directory() . '/includes/theme-options.php' );
require ( get_template_directory() . '/includes/post-custom-meta.php' );
require ( get_template_directory() . '/includes/tha-theme-hooks.php' );
require ( get_template_directory() . '/includes/hooks.php' );
require ( get_template_directory() . '/includes/version.php' );

function pw_edd_htaccess_rules( $rules ) {
	return 'Options -Indexes';
}
add_filter( 'edd_protected_directory_htaccess_rules', 'pw_edd_htaccess_rules' );

Ok something really strange is happening here, when I change the .htaccess to this

Options -Indexes

And then upload a new file the .htaccess file changes back to this

Options -Indexes
deny from all
<FilesMatch '\.(jpg|png|gif)$'>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

And then the download links give a 404 error again.

Ok I just go it working again, this is what I did, I edited the .htaccess like this.

Original before the edit was made

Options -Indexes
deny from all
<FilesMatch '\.(jpg|png|gif)$'>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

This is what I changed it to and now it’s working again

Options -Indexes

Nothing at all no updates, what should the .htaccess look like, is this right? I remember it was something different before.

Options -Indexes
deny from all
<FilesMatch '\.(jpg|png|gif)$'>
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>

The only change was me upgrading EDD plug in again, Remember I had reverted back to the previous version.

My site started to do it again.

I backed everything up and updated the plug in, so far everything seems to be working fine, I will report back in the morning and let you know if everything is still working or not.

Thanks,

Yes I am a program developer, and I sell my program on my site, if thats what you mean.

To scared to update again.

Not sure what that is?

I have a security plugin that renamed the wp-content folder to something different, would that cause a problem with your plugin?

I may still have a back up let me see

I was forced to revert my site back because I could not handle the load of doing everything manually. So the .htaccess is now different than before I moved things back.

I just noticed that https://extendd.com is having the same problem, I tried to download a previous purchased item and it sent me to a 404 not found there also.
