Are you getting the WordPress WP-DBManager Error – “Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public”?
Background
I was getting this error when I first installed the plugin. I then moved the .htaccess file in the proper location and everything seemed to be working. I then enabled WordPress Networks (Formally called Multisite). I started getting that error again from WP-DBManager about being being visible to the public.
Solution
It turns out that in order to remove the error message happens because wordpress uses virtual directories. Because the .htaccess file isn’t in the virtual directory it put’s up the error. To get around this you need to disable WP-DBManager for the network. Once disabled go to the main WordPress site and enable the plugin there. Do NOT enable the plugin on sub-networks. Voila! You’re done.
