YouTube doesn't allow the pointy brackets (Shift period and Shift comma) so make sure they match what you see in the video.

In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to protect your .htaccess file from unauthorized access. The .htaccess file is used to do a lot of things on your website including securing it. However, if you don't protect this file as well, then your website is still vulnerable.

This works on a website on any Apache server, not just WordPress sites.

Let's put that code into your .htaccess file and secure WordPress.

First login into your hosting account cPanel. Then find and click on the File Manager icon and choose the Document Root for the website that you are hardening. This will open the root of the website in another tab.

You can also log into the website root using FTP if you are more comfortable with that.

If you do not see a .htaccess in the website right then you can make one by clicking Add New File in the File Manager or right-clicking and choosing Create New File via File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

Open the .htaccess file and paste the code from above into it. There is no need to make adjustments to the code. Once pasted in just save the file and you're done.

Now you've done your better WordPress security for the day. Time to take a break! Or better yet, watch the next video.
