    If I install the latest version of this plugin on 4.6.1, onto an IIS10 server environment, what features am I bound to loose?

    Thanks!

    The current version of BPS is .54. The current version of WordPress is 4.6.1. I believe both WP 4.6.1 and BPS .54 are 100% compatible with Windows IIS 10.

    Thanks for the response. So I installed BPS onto my IIS system, but now I am getting warning messages about the htaccess file not being provided. IIS does not use htaccess, so how can I get the BPS system to bypass this warning error and still secure my site? or is the plugin only for users who are on apache/lynx servers? and not IIS?

    Right now, because it cannot find the htaccess file, BPS is telling me that my site is not secured.

    IIS uses a file called Web.config to manage integration with applications, unlike apache servers that use htaccess.

    Thanks for any feedback

    IIS servers can use/process/translate htaccess files if the IIS server has the IIS URL Rewrite Module installed/enabled: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite Post the exact error message that you are seeing so I can tell you what to do to resolve the problem.

    Ok that is a folder/file permission error message. So what you need to check is your folder permissions. Go to the BPS System Info page and copy and paste your website/server File|Folder Permissions (CGI or DSO)|Script Owner User ID (UID)|File Owner User ID info. Important! Edit the Script Owner and User ID (UID) File Owner User ID info and change the ID to X since you do not want to post that info publicly.

    Example:
    ../ 705 0705 x x
    ../.htaccess 404 0404 x x
    ../wp-config.php 400 0400 x x
