Directory index forbidden by Options directive

This is a server setting. It has to do with your host. Basically, if your host has the server to not show directory contents (when there’s no index file available) then you’ll get this error.

It’s *possible* to fix it, if your host allows you to override the setting with .htaccess. You can open up your .htaccess file and add:

Options All +Indexes

However, that will allow people to see what’s in directories if there’s no index.php/.html/.htm file present. If that’s an issue for you, another*possible* solution is to add a blank index.php file to that directory (but it’ll be overwritten in any update I make to the plugin)

Thank you!

Let me know if it worked ??

I turned on the index.html file in the directory jquery-expandable-comments/css/ and then activate plugin. Answers in comments are no longer visible.

There’s no index.html file in the plugin. If you added one, I guess that didn’t work (I wasn’t sure if it would). Did you add the suggested line in the .htaccess file?

File index.html I added, in order to avoid mistakes “Directory index forbidden by Options directive”.

Now I’m fulfill .htaccess a way. Is it possible to add .htaccess with parameters Options All +Indexes in a directory jquery-expandable-comments/css/ ?

I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking here?

You should be able to open the .htaccess file at the root of your installation, and add that line to it. .htaccess cascades down to the folders below it. If you did that already, and it’s not working, then I’d say you need to contact your host on the issue, because I don’t think there’s anything else you can do on your end. The issue stems from how the server is set up.
