    Hi,

    I’m running wordpress 3.3.2 on a windows host (yea, I know, windows boo etc :P). I’m having some trouble with this plugin. I know of course that if I want to enable certain rules from within the plugin, I should have an apache environment etc, but I’d like to be able to see what changes the plugin would make, so I can make them manually to my wp-config or whatever files.
    I think it should show me something since I do have the ‘Hide backend’ enabled, which still works with the normal paths, I want to fix it, but don’t see any info on it. I know how to ‘convert’ from the .htaccess format to the windows iis style config files, that’s not gonna be a problem ??

    Greets,
    ZaPP

  • The rules for Apache or NGINX are found in the “Dashboard” page.

    Well yea, but that’s the problem, the rules don’t show up, it sais that there are no rules and I need to enable more things to be able to see those rules, while I do have the rules enabled.

    do you have .htaccess in the root folder with write permissions (maybe try 777)? did you give the plugin permission to write to the files (system tweaks)? otherwise, if you switch that off, you should see the code at the bottom of the page after you save your changes, with the recommendation to add it manually.

    Molandra is correct. If the rules are automatically being written they will not appear in the Dashboard.
