OK, I recently upgraded WP and I just upgraded all of my plugins that had notices to upgrade. Well, now I have an error:
"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/sunny7l/public_html/hell/wp-content/backup-db"
I moved it, but the error remains. How can I get rid of this error, and make sure the folder isn't visible to the public?
where did you put the .htaccess? your blog is installed in http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/hell but if you veiw your source, its looking for it inside http://yourdomain.com/
does this exist?
/home/sunny7l/public_html/hell/wp-content/backup-db...
how about this?
/home/sunny7l/public_html/wp-content/backup-db...

No, neither one of those exists. And apparently neither does "/home/" so I really don't know what to do now. :-)
In FileZilla, I moved it:
From: /public_html/hell/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager
To: /public_html/hell/wp-content/backup-db
But when I type in anything that starts with "/home/" it says, "Failed to retrieve directory listing."
I can't get rid of the error message. I am probably going to re-install 2.7 because another essential plugin I use is not functioning (AJAXed).
sure .. /home is above your web root.
Im trying not to divulge your url.
your web root is inside public_html
so you need to be looking here:
public_html/hell/wp-content/backup-db...
or here:
public_html/wp-content/backup-db ...
what I am pointing out is that One has /hell one doesnt.
where is the backup folder REALLY located?
and if youre just going to reinstall than forget it. :)

Well, it should be located in hell. :-)
I don't have anything in "/public_html/" except the folders for my domains I use/have stuff on.
And I switched back to 2.7, but I still have this error showing. I'm thinking I might just uninstall it. :-(
OK! I figured it out! :-) When I moved it, it was renamed to "htaccess.txt" and I just renamed it ".htaccess" and the error warning vanished.
Thanks so much for your help! :-)
