All In One WP Security don't change htaccess file

    Hi all!

    I love your plugin but unfortunately it doesn’t work well in my site.

    For example all settings that involve changing htaccess file do not work because the htaccess file is not changed but the security meter shows as the changes were applied. File permission on htaccess is set to 644

    Another problem is in the brute force schemes, both, change in login page or cookies based schemes, do not work.

    In short, htaccess never changes, it always remain as the original which is this:
    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    The security plugin is not writing rules. Surely it is something with my configuration but unfortunately I am not an expert and don’t know where to see

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi, can you try to uninstall, delete the plugin. Then install it again?

    If the above does not work, how is your website set up? Check the following scenarios:

    • In the root directory of your website. (For example, [https://example.com/])
    • In a subdirectory of your website. (For example, [https://example.com/blog/])

    What kind of server are running your website running in?

    Yes, I have tried several times to uninstall and reinstall.
    When asked to delete all the files I do that but when I reinstall it again it pulls all the configuration again and asks me if I want to reinstall all security features. Apparently the settings get stored in the DB and are not deleted when the plugin is deleted.

    The website is the root directory not in a folder and server is Apache, PHP 5.5. This plugin worked perfectly just few months ago

    Do you know if you updated or upgraded any other plugin prior to this issue?

    Have you tried to disable all Firewall rules and all Brute Force rules?
