 * Thanks a lot, will just remove that one then (already tested it, and it works
   after only removing it from the QUERY_STRING line, as long as that’s fine.
 * I had seen other posts where you had mentioned that it is one of the things that
   can be more dangerous, but as long as this shouldn’t affect too much.
 * Thanks a lot for all your help and hard work on the plugin, and for keeping us
   safe!

 * The actual page is in a separate directory, and just being loaded by an internal
   page – any ideas for what to do in that case?
 * Thanks a lot!

 * Thanks.
 * Had to disable the plugin manually for now (moved the folder out of the plugins
   folder), hoping the updated/fixed version will be out soon so I can re-enable
   it.

   get it eventually, thanks.

 * Awesome, think I’m going to go the lazy way for now and just leave those lines
   commented out and allow all head requests for now.
    Thanks for the info and awesome
   plugin. One of these days I should be getting myself the Pro version… Any sales
   coming up? 😉

 * Thanks.
    Guess I would somehow have to figure out the bot names, or use the IP
   address method, though at this point, I’m not sure I’m scared of just allowing
   all HEAD requests (unless there’s a big risk involved there)…

 * For some reason, that has worked for me for years – so long that I don’t even
   remember setting it up (though I obviously had this issues once before, and had
   to unblock something, though I must have figured out then what was blocking it),
   but it seems like everything else isn’t loaded directly.
 * I am not really a programmer though, I work in IT, and know enough about programming
   to be dangerous, but I wouldn’t know how WordPress plugins works, how they load
   content, etc.
 * The above method works for me – the blanket deny, and then allowing specific 
   files through, but if it becomes an issue, then I can always remove it.
 * I seem to have the same type of htaccess file in the wp-includes folder, and 
   then I have 2 step authentication and a bunch of other security settings set 
   up in WP for logging in, though doing a http auth on that folder probably makes
   sense as well…

 * And I probably found that somewhere online a long time ago, about adding that
   in to the wp-content folder, and as long as nothing that’s not supposed to be
   blocked is blocked, I may as well keep it there, and now I can just unblock the
   individual files that I need to let through.

 * See above.
    TL;DR – I’m an idiot.
 * And in response to my question, I already had some code there to allow specific
   PHP files through, so I added this:
 * <Files ~ “^(chat|loader)\.php$”>
    Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Files>
 * Assuming that should solve it.
 * Thanks to you both for all your help, and I’m really sorry about that, not sure
   why I didn’t bother checking there earlier…

 * And I am in idiot.
 * I had this in the wp-content .htaccess file:
 * <Files *.php>
    deny from all </Files>
 * So… Not sure how that got there, though it probably makes sense.
    Any recommendations
   on what to put there, especially to allow this file through?
 * Thanks!
