Overwriting HTaccess

    Hello people of Yoast!

    Firstly thanks for the awesome plugin and service you provide, been great for the entirety I’ve chosen Yoast as an SEO plugin.

    Recently I’ve been working on a website which requires a line of text in HTaccess;

    SubstituteMaxLineLength 10m

    This is needed for the visual composer to load when working on editing their pages. However whenever Yoast updates, it appears to remove this line causing conflicts? I keep manually adding it for them when they experience this issue but I was wondering why this is happening or if I’m doing something wrong? Also there’s no longer an option to edit the htaccess from within your plugin?

    Thanks

    I also was experiencing issues with Visual Composer (and other plugins), but turned off Yoast until another update came. This sounds like it might be similar to what I experienced…

    @ashley89lloyd — By any chance, did last night’s update to Yoast 6.0 still cause these issues? Or are you using an older version?

    @lewellke It was yes. I always update Yoast when an update is available, it seems to overwrite the snippet of code added to the HTaccess to enable visual composer to load. It’s not just this update but other Toast updates as well, more an inconvenience than anything else but still not something I’m wanting to do each time I update plugins.

    Darn. I’m not the best with php/javascript, so it’s probably best to avoid manual changes, but yup, very frustrating. (I didn’t even really have issues with it until the update that came out just a week or so ago. They put out another update right after, but that didn’t address this particular problem and now it seems that this latest update doesn’t either.)
    I may have to eventually just get a new plugin, but good luck to you and your site!

    @ashley89lloyd Unfortunately, we are unable to reproduce the issue on our end. Can you please try updating the Yoast SEO plugin on a staging site with the same setup to check whether the issue persists?

    If yes, can you please try updating the Yoast SEO plugin again while all the 3rd party plugins are disabled and the default 2017 theme is active?

    Please let us know whether the issue persists.
