if you rename .htaccess file in plugins directory the settings page loads correctly.

hi @knizami 👋 this is an intentional measure taken to secure the root directory that shouldn't be publicly accessible. you can see more context about this change in #473.

to use CSS/JS, the assets should be stored in specific theme or plugin directories which will not be constrained by these directives.

Hello, do you know why it is producing a 500 error? Doesn't the css file have to be publicly accessible since it is being referenced by the plugins settings page?
