Getting 404 Error When Attempting to Preview Drafts

Hi All,

So i have my blog https://www.press.flavourfull.ca and everything was fine until, I think, I installed WangGuard for all those sploggers.

I did a bunch of stuff in my dashboard some of which explicitly stated it would mess up things potentially.

I am now today trying to write and I cannot see previews. I checked previous posts on this issue and I followed the advice here and now when I try to preview I get a message saying that I do not have the permission to view drafts.

I edited the .htaccess file from this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

to this

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

And now I apparently don’t have permission. I am completely new to this and every other word is a term I don’t know so please be considerate of that.

Many thanks,
