Solid Security htaccess question

    I’m having a heck of a time with GoDaddy. Visual Composer wouldn’t work until I added the following directive after #END WordPress in htaccess: SubstituteMaxLineLength 10M. That fixed it. However, here’s how this relates to htaccess and Solid Security. If I change some settings in Solid Security, htaccess is updated by Solid Security plugin. If I have the line in question after #END WordPress in htaccess, will that line be removed from htaccess by Solid Security settings changes I make? Some advice would be helpful. Thank you!

    Hi @alusza, glad you reached out.

    I tested this on a test site and I can confirm that while Solid Security updates the .htaccess file after changes to settings, the code won’t be removed. Here’s how I added it after the # END WordPress in my .htaccess file:

    <IfModule mod_substitute.c>

SubstituteMaxLineLength 10M

</IfModule>

    Here’s the original state of the .htaccess file: original and here’s after changing a System Tweaks setting: updated.

    Let me know if this works on your end!

    Thanks so much for the quick and helpful response! Yup, I just did a similar test and all is well. This answer not only helped me, but likely many others hosting on a GoDaddy shared server. Thanks again!
