Edit .htaccess without FTP

Edit your server's .htaccess file from WordPress, with a backup before every save.

Why it helps

Small server rules, like forcing HTTPS, usually mean logging in by FTP. The editor lets you make the change from WordPress and roll back if something goes wrong.

How to set it up

Activate Pro and turn on .htaccess Editor in Features.
Open Settings > .htaccess, make your change and save.

Where to find it: Settings > .htaccess
