 * Hi,
 * is there an example .htaccess file to secure the Piwik folder and to allow access
   via the plugin?

 * To get more information on how to configure and optimize Piwik itself, I recommend
   to have a look at the Piwik website and the Piwik community forums.
 * Maybe this link will help you: [https://forum.piwik.org/t/using-htaccess-to-restrict-access/1532/82](https://forum.piwik.org/t/using-htaccess-to-restrict-access/1532/82)
 * I’m not sure if this also allows full access to the reporting API, but it’s worth
   a try. If not, maybe you can get in contact with the guys there. Or, if Piwik
   and WP-Piwik are running on the same server, you can use the PHP API, so WP-Piwik
   does not need HTTP access to Piwik.

 * Piwik and WP are running on the same server and I have changed the connection
   to PHP API and it works very well, thanks for the tip!
