Support » Fixing WordPress » transfer of backup folder

  • I am new to WP, can someone tell me how to resolve this issue:

    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/shankdoc/public_html/wp-content/backup-db

    Thanks

  • ftp tp your wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager folder and you will see the .htaccess file

    You need to move that file to the wp-content/backup-db folder.

    Best way to do it is click on it and while holding the mouse button down drag it to your desktop. Verify it has downloaded correctly and the navigate to the wp-content/backup-db – locate the downloade .htaccess on your desktop and drag and drop it into this folder.

    Once done and verified navigate back to wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager and delete the .htaccess in that folder.

    Could not move the file to desktop. Using a Mac, is this a problem? I’ll try with PC later this morning.

    ZGani,

    Thanks again. I was able to move the folder as you recommended. The warning message on the dashboard remains, however.

    I am new to wordpress and I am experiencing the same problem. It says my backup folder might be visible to public.

    I do not understand how to drag and drop onto desktop. Do I highlight the .htaccess and where in the desktop do I put it.. any blank space??
    I am totally lost.. I really need simple step by step instruction. Please help me.. Thanks
