  • Hello,

    Thank you for reaching out to us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    It seems that this might be an issue relating to your hosting provider. Most plugins have strict server-imposed permissions so it is common to see this error.

    Also, some hosting providers with a shared hosting package do not allow writable .htaccess

    You can either go to your hosting’s Control Panel and change the .htaccess’ permission settings to Readable and Writable (this can be found in your File Manager public folder) OR just contact your hosting providers to change it for you.

    Let us know if the issue persists.

    Looking forward to helping you.

    I changed the .htaccess file permissions to Group and Others Write but still the Plugin showed the same red panel message: The .htaccess file is not writable.

    Hello,

    I’m sorry for the delay and any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

    If you have already modified the .htaccess file permission (644), could you also check your wp-config.php if it has

    define ('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true);

    If it’s not there, please add or modify it to

    define ('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', false);

    Hope that helps. Thank you and please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need further assistance.

    define (‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, false);

    Now set and that appears to have removed the red box warning thank you.
