    Thanks Moshu –

    Is leaving the htaccess where it is (site root) a security risk then? Having it where it is doesn’t seem to be affecting my WP site at all.

    Hi – thanks for getting back to me –

    I didn’t have a htaccess file until I set my permalinks up (Day & Name) – then one was created for me at the bottom of the screen (Settings | Permalinks).

    Unfortunately, the screen did not say where to put the htaccess file, so i put it in my web hosting root folder (i.e. outside my ‘wordpress’ folder – my file structure is root/wordpress/-> all the wordpress folders. So the htaccess file is currently one level up from /wordpress

    Thing is, everything seems to be working fine – but then I installed the WP-Security scanner plugin to security-check my setup, and one of the things it is coming up with is ‘The file .htaccess does not exist in wp-admin/. ‘ (which is true – but doesn’t really get me anywhere!).

    I would be grateful for any further thoughts.

    Cheers Dave, thank you for the quick response – I’ll give both those a go a bit later on and let you know the outcome. Thank you for the kind help.
