Wp-DBManager

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

My dashboard was very slow to open and when I goggled it said that whatever correction we make to the website all saved up each time and the folder will get big , thus slows down the webpage. Suggestion was to down load two plug ins wp-optimize and wp-db manager.

I have installed Wp-DBManager to optimize the website. There is a message in my dashboard in Red saying "Your backup folder MIGHT be visible to the public" and to correct... "To correct this issue, move the .htaccess file from wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager to /home1/florex/public_html/wp-content/backup-db"

Dashboard is fast but I have no clue as to where to find the .htaccess file. Any help as to how to set this up.
