    Hi! Thank you for the excellent plugin.

    After udpating WordPress core and your plugin, we get this php warning:

    fopen(/nas/content/live/lexblogms/wp-content/blogs.dir/1321/files/wpcf7_uploads/.htaccess): failed to open stream: Permission denied

    Some unique things about our setup:
    – It’s a blogs.dir multisite network.
    – It’s on WP Engine.
    – It’s on php 7.4
    – It uses nginx rules instead of htaccess rules
    – There are hundreds of blogs on this install, so creating an htaccess file in every folder is not a scalable solution.

    Full stack trace from new relic:

    I understand this is a free and excellent plugin. To whom it may concern, the lack of response makes it hard for me to recommend using this plugin.

    Hi, I was wondering if there were plans to address this.

    Hi, it seems like it would be easy, helpful, and harmless to first check if this file exists before referencing it. Any plans to address this?

    Actually maybe it’s a permissions thing rather than a file_exists thing. In any event, it seems like there could be some defensive coding here.

    Hi mods, I am trying to report this ticket as a security violation because it was stupid of me to disclose my server path publicly here. Can this ticket be deleted?

    Your server path creates no risk. The path to my site is /var/www/www.sterndata.com. What can you do with that?
