<p><strong>The Htaccess Secure Files plugin can only be activated on Apache web servers with mod_rewrite enabled, and will automatically raise an error upon activation if this is not the case.</strong></p>
<p>The Htaccess Secure Files plugin allows for setting files to be accessible only to visitors who have a specified IP address or <a title="WordPress role or capbility" href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress role or capability</a>. By using <a title=".htaccess files" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Htaccess" rel="nofollow ugc">.htaccess files</a> to secure the content instead of a separate directory outside the web root, WordPress’s native media library functionality can be used to upload secure files and link to them from within the visual editor.</p>
<p>By default all built-in WordPress roles will be allowed to access content that is marked as secure. The Settings -> Secure Files admin screen controls which roles, capabilities, and IP addresses are allowed to view or download secured files. If a custom role or capability is desired, there are several <a title="WordPress plugins" href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=roles+capabilities" rel="ugc">WordPress plugins</a> capable of creating and editing roles and capabilities.</p>
<p><strong>Any visitor that matches any selected role, capability, or IP address will be allowed to access secured files.</strong></p>
<p>This plugin works by creating a .htaccess files in the directory of each secured file. If you manually edit the .htaccess file and it becomes corrupt (a 500 Internal Server Error is the most likely symptom), I recommend deleting the .htaccess file and then edit and save each secured item in the media library.</p>

<p><a href="https://wphtaccess.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Htaccess Editor</a> provides a <strong>simple, safe & fast way</strong> to edit, fix & test the site’s htaccess file from WP admin. Before saving, htaccess file can be tested for syntax errors. It also automatically creates a htaccess backup every time you make a change to the htaccess file. Htaccess backups can be restored directly from the plugin, or via FTP if the errors in htaccess file prevents WP from running normally. Great for fixing htaccess errors. For all questions, including support please use the official <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-htaccess-editor" rel="ugc">forum</a>.</p>

<h4>Testing Htaccess Syntax</h4>
<p>Use the “test before saving” button to test htaccess file syntax before saving. Please note that this test does not check the logic of your htaccess file, ie if the redirects work as intended. It only checks for syntax errors. If you need to fix htaccess file we suggest restoring it to the default version and then add custom code line by line.</p>
<h4>Automatic Htaccess Backups</h4>
<p>Htaccess Editor makes automatic backups of htaccess file every time you make a change to it. Backups are located in <code>/wp-content/htaccess-editor-backups/</code> and timestamped so you can easily find the latest htaccess backup and restore it.</p>
<h4>WordPress Network (WPMU) Support</h4>
<p>WP Htaccess Editor is fully compatible and tested with WP Network (WPMU). It shows up under the Settings menu in network admin. It’s not available in individual sites as there is only one htaccess file per network.</p>
