 * This is the root website on our server with several additional domains on the
   cpanel. We found the security changes this plugin did to the htacess files are
   being applied to every site below within the folders. Example of the subsites
   exampleb.com the readme.html file is being redirected even though the plugin 
   is not installed.
 * To make is worse then there was some caching scripts applied to the root htacess
   file that was then applied to all subsites. So we had a plugin conflict on one
   site.
 * Is there a setting to not have this happen? We did call hosting and confirm this
   should not be happening and it was coming from the plugin. We also are using 
   php 7.4 on this server.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fplugin-in-root%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
