 * Hey,
 * I’ve had a few problems with my wordpress site being hacked and files created
   etc. I’ve now installed your plugin to try and stop that happening however I 
   selected backup .htaccess file and I get an error saying it failed.
 * Is there a certain folder that needs certain permissions being set etc or am 
   I missing something?

 * Hi can you check your folder permissions under **WP Security -> Filesystem Security-
   > File Permissions** tab? Make sure all file permissions are correct. Can you
   also **View System Logs**.
 * Thank you
