Hi,

After updating the permalinks settings and installing WPML, I got this message on the WordPress backend:

"remove write access on web.config file now!"

the new permalink settings are set to:

https://ourwebsite.com/sample-post/

just now I was successful in configuring WPML without any blocks relating to this

web.config

access issue

we are on a shared Windows hosting

the options to edit the permissions on

web.config

are not selectable

How do I remove write access on

web.config

?

Let me know soon, thanks

Best regards,

Leta

The message you're seeing is a suggestion to remove write access after you've updated the permalink structure in WordPress as that would increase security a bit. It's good to realize that this is a suggestion, not an error.

If don't administer the server yourself there is a decent chance you can't change the file persmission. You can reach out to your provider for help if you l like to change the permission anyway.
