    I was trying to install Wordfence and got this message.

    We were unable to make changes to the .htaccess file. It’s possible WordPress cannot write to the .htaccess file because of file permissions, which may have been set by another security plugin, or you may have set them manually. Please verify the permissions allow the web server to write to the file, and retry the installation.

    please present .htaccess contain this code —> “

    BEGIN WordPress The directives (lines) between “BEGIN WordPress” and “END WordPress” are dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters. Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.

    RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] END WordPress “

    please help me install it.

  • Did you try changing the permissions of the file? WordPress recommends 644 but depending on file ownership, you may need to set the permissions to allow group write (664).
