Wordfence disabling Visual editor tab

    Hi a few days ago the Visual editor became disabled on several of my sites – leaving only the Text editor version.

    Turns out it was Wordfence creating a .htaccess file in the wp-includes folder.

    Hope you can sort this out on the next release.

    Hi @northstarweb,

    I can confirm that Wordfence didn’t create the .htaccess file in the wp-includes folder.

    Would you be ok sharing the content of that .htaccess file here?

    Have you installed any other plugins recently?

    This is the content of the htaccess file

    <FilesMatch “\.(?i:php)$”>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    Require all denied
    </IfModule>
    </FilesMatch>
    <Files wp-tinymce.php>
    Allow from all
    </Files>
    <Files ms-files.php>
    Allow from all
    </Files>

    Hi @northstarweb,

    The behaviour you’re seeing is actually caused by another security plugin.

    I found this topic which discusses the same issue.

    Thank you so much wfyann, yes it looks like it’s a Sucuri bug. Strange thing is that article was 7 months ago – and it still hasn’t been fixed. Infact it only cropped up on my sites over the past 2 weeks.
