When you access the BPS Setup Wizard page a series of pre-installation checks are performed. Then when you run the Setup Wizard the Wizard uses the information/ data from the pre-installation checks to automatically install/not install things or choose options such as: Do not install/add htaccess files and instead disable htaccess files and any checks or functionality related to htaccess files. As far as all other BPS features go, they should logically work fine on Nginx & HHVM. * Important!: Just in case something goes wrong I recommend that you connect via FTP so that you can manually delete the BPS Root htaccess file and the BPS wp- admin htaccess file and the /plugins/bulletproof-security/ plugin folder if necessary. * Plugin Author [AITpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aitpro/) * (@aitpro) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/support-nginx/#post-8434862) * Did this answer all of your questions?

I can’t remember exactly what those available Nginx things are. Anyway when you run the Setup Wizard it does a Live htaccess file check to see if your website can use htaccess files or not. If your site/ server can use htaccess files then htaccess files are created by the Wizard. If your site/server cannot use htaccess files then htaccess files are not created by the Wizard and are instead automatically disabled by the Wizard > Setup Wizard Options > htaccess files disabled. * You can also check on the BPS System Info page to see if htaccess files are in use and which Apache modules and directives work on your site/server: * ``` Apache Modules|Directives|Backward Compatibility(Yes|No)|IfModule(Yes|No): View Visual Test 403: mod_access_compat is Loaded|Order, Allow, Deny directives are supported|IfModule: Yes 403: mod_authz_core is Loaded|Order, Allow, Deny directives are supported|BC: Yes|IfModule: Yes 403: mod_authz_host is Loaded|Order, Allow, Deny directives are supported|BC: Yes|IfModule: Yes 200: mod_rewrite Module is Loaded ``` * What is interesting is I see information all the internet about how htaccess files slow down website performance and this is quoted from the Nginx website:“ Stop using .htaccess. It’s horrible for performance. NGINX is designed to be efficient. Adding something like this destroys that.” * All I have to say about that is my websites load in 1.5 seconds and I am not using any caching plugins and am just using BPS security htaccess files/code and htaccess Browser caching code, which speeds up my site load speed by 2 seconds. So yeah it does not make any sense to me that people say that htaccess code is bad for performance when in fact htaccess code significantly improves performance for all of my sites.

BPS only creates htaccess code and does not create nginx code. * When you run the Setup Wizard it does a Live htaccess file check to see if your website can use htaccess files or not. If your site/server can use htaccess files then htaccess files are created by the Wizard. If your site/server cannot use htaccess files then htaccess files are not created by the Wizard and are instead automatically disabled by the Wizard > Setup Wizard Options > htaccess files disabled. You can also manually disable htaccess files by going to the Setup Wizard > Setup Wizard Options > Enable|Disable htaccess Files > choose htaccess Files Disabled. * Someday we may add nginx code, but currently BPS does not create nginx code. - This reply was modified 9 years, 6 months ago by [AITpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aitpro/).
