    I am upgrading from v3 to v5 of HMWP. I get the following message at the top of the setup page: It seems there is no writable htaccess file in your WP directory.

    I do have an htaccess file and it is writable 777.

    When I proceed with medium settings, the site CSS breaks.

    What should I do?

    Hi, I tried adding HMWP rules in htaccess file manually (added WP Htaccess Editor plugin for it) but the rewrite rules don’t seem to be working. Can you please let us know your site’s FTP details as private reply so that we can look further into the issue.

    Hi, I tried to set it up in your website but it’s not working somehow. I’ve assigned this ticket to sr. support so that he can look into it further.

    I’m sorry I don’t mean to be pushy. Any possibility of a positive result soon?

    Hi Suman,

    I’m really hoping there is some good news? I have purchased 30 licenses of HMWP. This is the only site with an error. I hope you can help please.

    Hello Doug,

    First very sorry for delay,

    It was fixed now,

    It was a problem in WP installation. There are two methods to install WP in a subdirectory. Read here:
    https://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

    HMWP usually works well with both of them but as it doesn’t access to htaccess it couldn’t make it work. I think there was a small bug in one of your htaccess files, too.

    Anyway, I changed your setup to go with first method which is easier. Then manually configured HMWP.

    Regarding writable htaccess, it’s probably caused by suexec which is a more strict version of PHP, read more:
    https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

    Please note as long as htaccess is not writable you need to manually configure HMWP after changing its settings, activating new theme (and installing new plugin if you enabled renamed plugin folders feature)

    To configure HMWP manually go here: HMWP > General Settings> Customized htaccess > Manual Configuration. The same result can be achieved by going to Permalink page from WP settings.

    Sorry again for any inconvenience,
    Hassan

    Thank you.
    What is my WP login URL?

    Please ignore my last question. I see you changed the login back to the default URL.

    “Regarding writable htaccess, it’s probably caused by suexec which is a more strict version of PHP, read more:”

    I’m wondering how this is possible. I have 20 WP sites on the same server all using HMWP no problem with htcaccess.
