You were in fact right, the wordpress root .htaccess was being bypassed by the application configuration.

I’m using an AWS Bitnami WordPress stack, it’s configured to override .htaccess in the htdocs folder. This is where all the WP files are located.

In the parent folder to htdocs, in this instance wordpress there is a folder called conf

\bitnami\apps\wordpress\conf\

This has the application configuration file with the setting that prevents .htaccess override in the htdocs

This file is called httpd-app.conf

Open this file and change the following line:

AllowOverride None
to
AllowOverride All

Save the file and reboot the server and voilà! HMWP can do its job as it’s supposed to!

Thanks again!

Hassan I really appreciate you looking into this for me, you’re a legend!

I know what action to take now.

It could be a good article to add to your documentation for future queries. I’ll let you know how I resolve it step by step with Amazion AWS.

Thanks again
