Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about htaccess protect
You can choose between the following options: 1. Enabling/disabling the password protection to wp-login.php, WordPress admin pages, and/or the whole site. 2. Modifying the existing users: you can change any .htaccess user's password and remove the users. 3. Adding a new .htaccess user. Note that you have to have at least one user to be able to enable any of the options: otherwise you would be locked out!
Since the plugin is protecting your site via modifying .htaccess and .htpasswd files, it works only if these files are writable by WordPress. If the files don't exist, you can just create empty writable files to the location brought out in the plugin's warning. You can also see from there which files are already writable and which not.
For accessing your site again, you have to modify two files: 1. .htaccess file in your WordPress root directory (the directory where the file wp-config.php is located); 2. .htaccess file in your WordPress wp-admin folder From both files, delete everything BETWEEN these two lines: # BEGIN ZOTYA htaccess protect # END ZOTYA htaccess protect IMPORTANT: Before modifying either of the files, make a copy of them! For accessing the files, either use FTP or log in to your web hosting service provider, usually they also enable direct file modification.
