 * Hello,
 * I just updated my BPS plugin and got the warning that the website was not protected.
   But then the warning went away and I hadn’t changed any settings, files, or .
   htaccess files. But I do see this message under security status:
 * “The htaccess file that is activated in your root folder is:
    BULLETPROOF .49.9
   >>>>>>> SECURE .HTACCESS
 * √ wp-config.php is htaccess protected by BPS
    √ php.ini and php5.ini are htaccess
   protected by BPS
 * √ Deny All protection activated for BPS Master /htaccess folder
    √ Deny All protection
   activated for /wp-content/bps-backup folder
 * The htaccess file that is activated in your wp-admin folder is:
    BULLETPROOF .
   49.9 WP-ADMIN SECURE .HTACCESS”
 * and I don’t know what it means. I am particularly worried about “Deny All Protection”.
   Can anyone enlighten me? Thank you.
 * Best Regards,
 * Kelly
 * P.S. I am updating to the new version of wordpress soon!

 * You should be fine if the alert goes away. Everything looks good for your security
   status.
 * What happens during the upgrade is BPS checks your root .htaccess file to make
   sure you have all the most current BPS security rules/filters and changes/updates
   whatever needs to be changed (your personal edits are not changed & your Custom
   Code is not changed). BPS is supposed to display “Automatic update completed 
   successfully”, but in some cases there may be a slight lag and the error checks
   you saw were displayed instead. If they go away on their own then everything 
   is ok. 😉
 * The Deny All protection is completed automatatically these days and the security
   status has checkmarks so everything is ok.

 * Assuming this answered all questions – thread has been resolved. If this did 
   not answer all of your questions please post any additional questions you may
   have.
