    Went thru your help and such and by the way love the plugin, but while active I noticed that my other sites (HTML not WP) are showing Forbidden when going to http://example.com the site info is there i.e I can goto specific pages including index.htm and all is well and looks right but the example.com doesnt load the index.htm page instead I get a Forbidden error. I have found when I return to my bakup .htaccess file it works but when I activate BPS I get the error. So I know the problem lies in the .htaccess file but I am not techy enuff to know what to do. Is it safe for me to copy the txt from the bakup .htaccess file to the BPS created file or does this defeat the purpose of BPS security? PLEASE HELP! I perceive its something simple but my knowledge has no clue. Thanks.

    Isa htaccess file needed on an HTML site, I just noticed that one of my sites didn’t have 1. will try no rewrite rule

    Yes, an .htaccess is normally not required for an HTML site.

    K, tried Rewrite off

    I think I needed htaccess on 1 site cuz folder name s photosutreasure.com the others sites don’t have web suffix in folder name.

    may have shown wrong Code here is code that works for .com folder

    code redacted

    this works right with BPS off/ default mode. htaccess file is in .com folder alsoreminder my WP install is MultiSite, not sure if that matters.

    Ok then add this code in the correct place for multisite.

    # RewriteRule for Custom Apps outside of WP
    RewriteRule ^blah.com/ - [L]
    RewriteRule ^foobar.com/ - [L]

    Not really sure what you have going on, but that is not normal. I guess you have some kind of unusual setup. I am out of ideas sorry. I guess BPS just will not work for your particular website setups.

    Sorry not sure what the correct place is. searched based on earlier post and replaced with new code. now get 500 error.

    May have tosethp WP on another server and use BPS there. k.no prob. Sorry for-all the confusion. Think, Tho. and I still recommend your plugin Loved it otherwise.

    Yep, due to whatever custom setup you have for these sites, BPS just does not work with that I guess.

    Yah when I setup it was piece by piece as needed with probably workarounds I don’t remember. but if I ever get chance to clean it up rite will revisit BPS. Thx.

    Yep, the code you posted indicates that you are already doing custom rewriting so you would have to incorporate your custom code and probably do other coding modifications to the standard BPS .htaccess code in order to get everything working.
