How Do I Add a .Htaccess File to WordPress?

If you want to restrict access to certain parts of your WordPress site, you can create a .htaccess file and add restrictions to it.

This is a simple way to manage access to your WordPress site and make sure that only authorized users can access certain parts of it.

To add a .htaccess file to your WordPress site, first login to your WordPress site and go to the folder where your WordPress files are stored. Next, open the folder where your .

htaccess file is located. In most cases, this will be in the same folder as your WordPress files.

Next, add the following lines to your .htaccess file:

# BEGIN WordPress

# Add this line if you want to disable plugin and theme installation

WordPress_disable_installation = 1

# Add this line to allow direct access only to the root directory

WordPress_direct_access = 1

# Add this line to allow access to files in the wp-content directory

WordPress_allow_url_fopen = 1

# Add this line to allow access to files in the wp-configuration directory

# Add this line to allow access to files in the wp-content-uploads directory

# Add this line to allow access to files in the wp-content-uploads-enabled directory

# END WordPress

You can now test your .htaccess file by accessing it directly in your web browser.

If everything is working correctly, you can delete the .htaccess file from your WordPress site.
