 * This plugin creates a .htaccess file in the upload directory which gives a 500
   error.
 * Looking at the logs I see this:
 * `wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_captcha/.htaccess: allow not allowed here`
 * I am using Apache 2.4.6 on a Ubuntu machine.
 * I’ve deleted wp-content/uploads/wpcf7_captcha/.htaccess and commented out the
   code in the plugin file to get this working again – is there a better way?
