Fix Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public Error

 

Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public Error

Problem:

Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public.
To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home/websitename/public_html/wp-content/backup-db.

Solution:

I was facing the above mentioned problem when I migrated Techpraveen from Blogger to WordPress platform with the help of Harsh :) . I was getting the error message at the top of my dashboard.

In order to fix this problem do the following :

1. Use FTP and download htaccess.txt file to your local computer from /wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager folder.
2. Then using FTP upload that file to the /home/websitename/public_html/wp-content/backup-db folder and rename the file .htaccess

Note:

We are renaming htaccess.txt to .htacess and moving to a new location.Delete htaccess.txt from wp-dbmanager folder. ;)
That’s it :) Now your annoying error message in WordPress dashboard is fixed ;)
