I am not sure what this is causing this so I am posting to see if anyone has seen this before and perhaps has a solution.
BPS does not find an .htaccess file on uploads. Sure enough I do not have one – and I am not sure how to properly create one. It appears that the directory is protected without this file. So without an htaccess file in uploads – when I enable UAEG my website galleries stop functioning completely. Page edits, do not work to correct this problem either.
When reading the instructions it says to copy my entire htaccess file in my uploads directory following the custom code setups. Since I do not have this file I am not even sure if I create one whether this will resolve my issue.
The website works fine without UAEG enabled. What kind of security problems could I have with this disabled – and is this something to worry about?
