[Plugin: BulletProof Security] 403 Error After Upgrade – File Permission Issue

    On some Web Hosts .htaccess file permissions MUST be 644 and cannot be locked (CHMOD) with 404 permissions. When BPS automatically updates your root .htaccess file it will also be automatically locked (CHMOD) with 404 permissions.

    If this issue/problem is occurring for you each time you upgrade BPS then please post your DNS Name Server name. We will add/exclude your Name Server in the next version release of BPS so that BPS will no longer automatically lock your root .htaccess file if you have provided your Name Server name. Please ONLY post Web Host DNS Name Servers and NOT Private Name Servers. Thanks.

    You will find your DNS Name Server on the BPS System Info page.

    DNS Name Server: xxx.YourNameServer.com

  • Hi, thanks for this thread and of course for this amazing plugin. I am having this problem, every time I upgrade I have to log in to the host account and change the permissions of the .htaccess file manually from 404 to 644, otherwise the site is forbidden to access on the front or back end.

    My DNS Name Server is: k.root-servers.net

    Would it be possible for this to be added so that I don’t have to manually change it on all the sites I run each time? Thanks so much!

    That option already exists. You will see 2 buttons on the BPS Edit/Upload/Download page – Turn On AutoLock or Turn Off AutoLock. Click the Turn Off AutoLock button.
