    I was trying to increase the upload file size in .htaccess file.

    I checked here on this forum, someone said, you first restore your .htaccess files from “Backup & Restore” option then go to security modes select the “Default Mode” and activate it and “Delete wp-admin” htaccess file.

    As soon as I did that, I got 500 internal server error. I had two site in this public_html folder, those sites also went down. Even I was unable to login into WordPress. I called go daddy and they did something so website homepage was running but inside links were not working at all.

    After that I was able to login into WordPress site and I restore the .htaccess file and everything was up and running.

    But I need to know why it happened.

    When we delete wp-admin htaccess file , I am unable to go back and restore it. so how I can make my WordPress site up and running if same thing happens in future.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Ok so your question is NOT about your php.ini file or php.ini directive settings and IS about about the BPS root htaccess file correct?

    Have you done these troubleshooting steps yet? If so, does the problem still occur after doing these troubleshooting steps?

    2. On the Security Modes page Activate Default Mode for the Root Folder BulletProof Mode.
    3. On the Security Modes page select the Delete wp-admin .htaccess File Radio button and click the Activate button to deactivate/delete the wp-admin .htaccess file.

    Yes correct. Problem remains. I don’t understand why….

    Ok now delete your BPS root and wp-admin htaccess files from your website. Are you still seeing a 500 error?

    No problem is gone. But when i create root .htaccess with BPS problem appears again…

    FYI – I believe your php.ini directive settings have a mistake.

    https://php.net/manual/en/zlib.configuration.php

    zlib.output_handler string
    You cannot specify additional output handlers if zlib.output_compression is activated here. This setting does the same as output_handler but in a different order.

    output_handler = Off
zlib.output_compression = On
zlib.output_handler = ob_gzhandler

    Ok now do this. Go to your WordPress Settings >>> Permalinks page and update your Permalinks settings. Which Permalink setting are you using?

    I have custom permalinks – /%postname%/%post_id%

    More on the php.ini zlib issue…
    https://php.net/manual/en/function.ob-gzhandler.php

    Note:
    ob_gzhandler() requires the zlib extension.
    Note:
    You cannot use both ob_gzhandler() and zlib.output_compression. Also note that using zlib.output_compression is preferred over ob_gzhandler().

    You have a mistake here: /%postname%/%post_id%
    This should be: /%postname%/%post_id%/ with a trailing slash “/”

    Ok i fixed permalinks and removed from php.ini ob_gzhandler . Now what? ??

    Now activate BPS Default Mode (not Root BulletProof Mode) and let me know what happens.

    Make sure you have clicked the AutoMagic buttons (Create secure.htaccess File and Create default.htaccess File) before activating either Default Mode or BulletProof Mode.

    Ok so far everything working fine. Now what?

    Plugin Author AITpro

    Ok you should be able to activate Root folder BulletProof Mode and everything should be fine now. Make sure you have clicked the Create secure.htaccess File AutoMagic button before activating Root folder BulletProof Mode.

    I believe the problem was your Permalink setting missing the trailing slash “/”.

    Oh no i activated Root folder BulletProof Mode and…again:
