# Use BPS wp-admin Custom Code to modify/edit/change this code and to save it permanently.
# This code example from BEGIN EXAMPLE to END EXAMPLE is just an example of optional
# code that you could add to your wp-admin htaccess file in the CUSTOM CODE WPADMIN TOP text box.
# IMPORTANT: To setup Directory Password Protection use your web host control panel.
# This example code is just showing you what the code will look like after you setup
# Directory Password Protection using your web host control panel.
# NOTES: Adding Directory Password Protection creates an additional password login
# to gain access to your wp-admin folder/WordPress Login page.
# Users / visitors to your site will not be able to register or login to your site
# unless you give them the Directory Password Protection username and password.
# You can specify a single specific user or use valid-user to allow all valid
# user accounts to be able to login to your site.

# EXAMPLE:
#AuthType basic
#AuthGroupFile /dev/null
#AuthUserFile /path/to/protected/server/directory/.htpasswd
#AuthName "Password Protected Area"
#require user JohnDoe
#require valid-user

# BEGIN CUSTOM CODE WPADMIN PLUGIN/FILE SKIP RULES
# To add wp-admin plugin skip/bypass rules use BPS wp-admin Custom Code.
# If a plugin is calling a wp-admin file in a way that it is being blocked/forbidden
# by BPS you can whitelist that file name by creating a skip rule for that file.
#
# Example: skip/bypass rule for the admin-ajax.php file and post.php file
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (admin-ajax\.php|post\.php) [NC]
# RewriteRule . - [S=2]
#
# The [S] flag is used to skip following rules. Skip rule [S=2] will skip 2 following RewriteRules.
# The skip rules MUST be in descending consecutive number order: 4, 3, 2...
# If you add a new skip rule above skip rule 2 it will be skip rule 3: [S=3]
#
# Example: Multiple skip rules in descending consecutive number order.
# Yoast Facebook OpenGraph wp-admin plugin skip/bypass rule
# RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} page=wpseo_social&key=(.*) [NC]
# RewriteRule . - [S=3]
# skip/bypass rule for the admin-ajax.php file and post.php file
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (admin-ajax\.php|post\.php) [NC]
# RewriteRule . - [S=2]
