I have the .htaccess from each of the sites in subfolders and the .htaccess which takes precedence right?

the one in the site folder says

# BEGIN Better WP Security
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from (removed)
Deny from (removed)
Deny from (removed)
Deny from (removed)
Deny from (removed)
Deny from (removed)
Deny from (removed)
Deny from (removed)
# END Better WP Security

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

although I don’t use that WP security plugin anymore

and on the in the public_html is

# Use PHP5.4 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php

DirectoryIndex index.html.var index.htm index.html index.shtml index.xhtml index.wml index.perl index.pl index.plx index.ppl index.cgi index.jsp index.js index.jp index.php4 index.php3 index.php index.phtml default.htm default.html home.htm index.php5 Default.html Default.htm home.html
SetEnv PHPRC /home/angelki1/public_html/php.ini
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

could it be a .htaccess problem?

Yeah i’ve tried deactivating all the plugins. The problem is on all my sites. I’ve just tried a fresh install and attempted to update Jetpack and the same problem – it hangs :/

Does anyone know what permissions etc that the core update for wordpress (and jetpack) would require? It seems all third party plugins will update, but these two updates simply spin (waiting for www…) forever. 🙁

Just a quick update; I manually updated one of my (newer) sites by FTP which was fine, but then trying to update the plugins automatically I am just getting “waiting for gamekitty.co.uk…” and nothing happens – so maybe a server issue??
