    in the permalink setting page in the top it is telling me “You should update your .htaccess now.”

    and in the Hide My WP page it says “It seems there is no writable htaccess file in your WP directory. In order to get all features of this plugin please change permission of your htaccess file.”

    noting that my .htaccess already have the below:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    however, the permission for the .htaccess file in the ftp is 444 and when ever I want to change it to 600 or 666 or 644 it says “Response: 550 CHMOD 644 .htaccess: Operation not permitted”

    so what should I do now?

    It’s a server problem maybe your user (in server) doesn’t have enough permission to do that.

    There are so many topic for 550 error in fileZilla check out them. For example: https://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5559

    If you couldn’t solve it contact with your hosting company.

    Well actually I uploaded the wordpress on safe mode & that what was causing the issue. I deleted it & re-uploaded it manually & everything is going fine.

    Many thanks,
