While installing newest version of Newspaper and upgrading tagDiv plugins, my site got broken. When checking for the reasons, it appears install creates htaccess file in home directory — normally it is nothing wrong, but in my case I specifically forbid htaccess use and site config lies in other file, so such behavior while updating/installing plugin breaks site. After every plugin update/install I have to delete htaccess file manually in order to avoid error 500.
Hi,
Yes, by default WordPress and the themes create/edit the .htaccess from home directory -> https://i.imgur.com/j0NKrCW.png -> https://wordpress.org/support/article/htaccess/there is non option or settings that we can made to prevent the file to be configurated, also there are many plugins that edit this file and update it.
If you want you can check some articles that maybe it can help you to stop WP from changing the .htaccess file
