    Anyone can access all files.

    But In Yoast, It generates blank page.

    Thanks

    Hi @wpzones,

    It’s best to disable directory listings on WordPress websites. Your hosting provider should’ve taken care of this, especially since they give PHP access.

    Nevertheless, it can also be enforced with this single .htaccess rule:

    Options -Indexes

    Then, accessing that folder should generate a 404 error — this is desired.
    Please contact your hosting provider if you’re having issues adding the rule.

    I hope this helps! Good luck 🙂
