    Error!

    The following file was not found. Please make sure the file exists and has write permissions: /var/www/htdocs/.htaccess

    Warning!

    The following file was not found. Please make sure the file exists and has write permissions: /var/www/htdocs/.user.ini

    We’re hosting with WPEngine who advised the following:

    “The .htaccess file is no longer supported on the platform, and the other file would be a non-standard wordpress file, so you’d need to reach out to the plugin developers regarding those errors, to see if they have any workarounds for using the plugins on WP Engine.”

    Can you help please?

    The HTTP Headers plugin can operate in two modes: PHP or Apache (.htaccess).
    In both cases, the plugin is used to send specific HTTP headers, either via PHP or by writing rules to the .htaccess file.

    According to this article:
    https://wpengine.com/support/htaccess-deprecation/
    .htaccess usage is being deprecated in some environments.

    You can still use PHP mode.

    Please note that PHP mode may not always work correctly if you are using certain caching plugins. This is because cached files can be served directly without executing PHP, meaning the headers may not be applied. For this reason, Apache (.htaccess) mode is generally more reliable and recommended where available.
