I really like this plugin, big timesaver. So much so, that I'm still using it even though it's polluting my error_log with every click in the menus. Here's an example:


[Tue Feb 19 06:20:13 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Directory index forbidden by rule:

/<my-domain>/html/wp-content/plugins/advanced-admin-menus/images/, referer: http://&lt;my-domain&gt;/wp-admin/index.php?page=&lt;some page>


Where <some page> can be anything you can find in the WP Admin panel.


My .htaccess file doesn't seem to be doing any blocking here. Do I need to CHMOD that directory differently for some reason?


Thanks,


Jacob

Best thing I can do here i think is point you to an expanation of what that means.

You might end up needing to talk to your host…

generally, you do want indexes off…

there are primarily two ways to do that…

one in the .htaccess…  if they are turned off this way, you should see something like:


Options -indexes
Andy's link gives you good way to allow a single directory if this is the case..
the second way is the more likely way and that is that your host is controlling this… if your host uses cpanel, you can indidvidually turn indexing on for directories of your choosing… other admin panels have ways of doing this too… Again, Andy's link shows you how to allow for specific directory if you cant find it with your host

They were 'pre' tags… any ideas how they got there?
