wp-dbmanager error message

  • Here is the error message that remains on my dashboard even after I have moved the file to the specified location:

    Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public

    To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home/robinkw/public_html/AskRobinWilliams.com/wp-content/backup-db

    How do I remove the red error box?

  • I’ve got exactly the same problem. Did you ever solve this?

    Also: how did you set up your site? Mine was moved from a local install to a web server, and the migration of the database triggered the error code for me.

    Okay, I’ve solved mine (I think). I put an .htaccess file in wp-content itself, but it had to say this:

    <Files ~ "\backup-db\*">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

    I certainly hope this does what I think it does, but I may be wrong. Anyway, the error went away after I switched to this.
