Now, almost all linux hosting plan allows you to have .htaccess override, and what we need to have is the .htaccess editor tool. It is unnecessary to edit the .htaccess file manually, you can now use the .htaccess editor tool to get the setting changed.

“Settings are inherited: commands in a .htaccess file affect both the directory it is in and any subdirectories of that directory. A file in your main directory will affect your whole site. To override inherited settings in a subdirectory, add a .htaccess file to the subdirectory.“
