    Hi there,

    i have been working with amember, setting up protection and products using the new_rewrite method. However, I logged in to my site today to set up a new folder and three of the protection mechanisms are no longer available, there is a message saying 'rewrite rule doesnt work with htaccess on this server' (see attached screenshot).

    This was working fine before, all options were available. I checked with my ISP as another post suggested that mod_rewrite may not be enabled on the server but they confirmed that nothing had changed and that mod_rewrite was available.

    I recently moved from the demo version to the paid version (3.1.4) but this had been working after I made the switch so I wouldnt expect that to be the cause, but you never know!

    Is there something I could have done to cause this in amember (or on the server with file permissions) or any thoughts on how I can fix it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Simon.

    Hi David,

    Many thanks for the suggestion, that seems to have done the trick.

    Simon.
