    hello just installed amember and i would like to use the new_rewrite as my protection method but it wont let me select it when picking a protection method for my folder. It says the following

    "new_rewrite (RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server)"

    is there any fix to this? i would like to use new_rewrite and not htpasswd

    Could either be a "false negative" in which you can do a minor hack to allow it, or your server isnt set properly to allow it. Ask your web host to turn on the module mod_rewrite.
