Site cannot be accessed without having to log in.

  • When I try to access my site https://duozmedia.com my site doesn’t open, instead a file downloads.
    When I logged into the backend and go to Settings/Permalinks, I had this message at the bottom:

    “If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.”

    then this code:

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

    By copying and pasting the code into the .htaccess file from htaccess in the Codex, I managed to have the message on the Permalinks setting page disappear. However, even after doing this, the site still cannot be accessed unless I log in.

    Can anybody tell me what is happening and how to fix it?

  • Is the website displaying the WSOD (White Screen of Death) now?

    When I type in the URL in a browser and press return, the URL disappears and a file is downloaded. If I log into the site, the site is then accessible.
