    I received a copy of your unedited post, qtwrk, in which you showed a variety of scenarios:

    But it looks like you have not quite understood, because in each case you have the backend and frontends in the same folder.

    What typically happens is that there will be one htaccess in the wordpress subfolder, and another one in the root folder (public_html)

    So:
    home/example/public_html/.htaccess
    home/example/public_html/wordpress/.htaccess

    The error, which is still occurring with the latest release of your plugin, is that it only updates the htaccess in the wordpress folder. It cannot work out, by itself, to update the root htaccess.

    I mean

    for example your set up is :

    / empty , only .htaccess to redirect/rewrite to /wordpress/ , where all the WP files are stored

    then set frontend .htaccess to /.htaccess, and backend .htaccess to /wordpress/.htaccess

    and see how it goes.

    When I try to save the new paths I get error

    403
    Forbidden
    Access to this resource on the server is denied!

    check mod_security , probably denied request due to sensitive word like .htaccess in it

    Disabled ModSecurity, but I still get 403 error.

    Could this be the reason:

    I don’t know your server set up , but you could try that , though I think that is not the reason.

    you may need to check server log for that 403

    I do not have access to the server’s log. I will have to ask the host.

    I was able to edit the .htaccess file from the “Tools” tab to insert “Options +FollowSymLinks” at the top, and successfully saved it. However, when I tried to edit the path again, the 403 error happened again.

    Hi,

    server log should tell the reason for 403 , please contact your hosting provider

    Without seeing the log (host away, weekend), I was looking at this page
    https://www.litespeedtech.com/support/wiki/doku.php/litespeed_wiki:config:understanding_403

    It mentions that the presence of a rewriterule can cause a 403. I do have such a rule:

    
### marker CACHE RESOURCE start ###
RewriteRule cms/wp-content/.*/[^/]*(responsive|css|js|dynamic|loader|fonts)\.php - [E=cache-control:max-age=3600]
### marker CACHE RESOURCE end ###

    not exactly , in that example

    RewriteCond (SOMECONDITION)
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [F,L]

    that [F] stands for forbid , so gives 403 , but you don’t have F flag in your rule.

    I see that now. I will have to ask the host for help
