Hi guys, I know that when you upload an .htaccess file with the code "Options -Indexes" (without quotes) in it that no one can read/check out which folders you have on your server (via flashget etc.), when you try to get a listing in your browser you only get an error returned. Now when you install a WP blog there automatically is an .htaccess file in your root folder created which has the following code in it: I tried to put the string Options -Indexes just before # END WordPress but that does nothing. Where do I have to place this string (or maybe anything else?) so that no one can see/read out my root folder and see which folders I have on my WP blog? Thanks in advance! Cheers Michael
# END WordPress does nothing. It's just a comment. Try having it first. If it doesn't do it there, it won't anywhere!
It should work anywhere, if it's going to. You mean when you install WP, people can view the index of your directories? Example?
