Solution : Wordpress Error “Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public”
admin | October 15, 2009 | no comments
I just upgraded topstori to recent wordpress version 2.8.4, everything fine except an error at the top the screen…
Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public
To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home/websitename/public_html/wp-content/backup-db
So i went to my wp-dbmanager folder, i couldn’t find any .htaccess file there. After googling for sometime i found the solution and it is very simple.
The wp-dbmanager folder (likely in your wp-content/plugins folder) has a file called htaccess.txt
1. Use FTP and download that file to your computer
2. Then upload that file to the /home/websitename/public_html/wp-content/backup-db folder and rename the file .htaccess
