    Hi
    i would really appreciate some help as I have made a real mess.
    It all started when I tried to sort out a problem with a plugin that I had reinstalled.
    It was suggested, that I rename htaccess file. I did and lost access to my admin panel, plus th whole site lost any formatting.
    I have been looking at the forums and found that by deleting the htaccess file I would regain access to my admin panel. this has worked. I have reset my permalinks, though a new htaccess file is not visible.
    My site is still just a list of links, and none of them are working.

    Please can someone help me?
    My site is at
    https://ss-designs.co.uk/troyblog

    A thought, and I do not know if this is relevant as I am not very technically minded. The were two htaccess files on my sever. One was before the wp root folder, in other words in the ss-designs.co.uk/public_html folder I deleted that, and then realised that it was the one in the wp root folder that I should have deleted. But as my portfolio is fine and most other thins in wp other than the theme is fine, I did not think it relevant.

    Well, you’ve got me. Short of a “have you tried turning it off and on again” type question, I’m rapidly running out of ideas. Hopefully someone else will chime in with some more ideas (it’s probably something really obvious).

    If you’re a 110% sure that you’ve uploaded those files correctly, I can only suggest to speak to your host I think.

    You might want to try this in your .htaccess (the one inside the main wordpress folder), but it’s a very long shot…

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

    Thanks for trying. If and when it is resolved I will post the answer here for others to learn from.

    Well whatever you’ve done, it seems to be working again now, well done. ??

    Ah, a very kind friend had a look at it for me. It appears that I had one of my permissions set wrong. I am not sure which, but it is amazing how it just sorted it.
    Thanks again for the help. At least I learnt a bit along the way.
