Haha I know and I was SURE it was that plug-in causing the problem, but I guess not. It ended up really saving me. I will do it daily now.

I had a WP_Clone backup from a few days ago. I ended up deleting my production site and restoring it from that backup. No idea what the issue was but at least 90% of my site came back and I was able to update the few things I’ve added since July 7th and I have my wp-admin login page back! I appreciate your help, Steve.

Yes…I changed the folder name to plugins.deactivate and no change

Is there a standard .htaccess file for WordPress? I know it’s created when permalinks are enabled, right? I’m seeing 2 .htaccess files.

1 is just:

.htaccess

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

# END WordPress
# php — BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# NOTE this account’s php is controlled via FPM and the vhost, this is a place holder.
# Do not edit. This next line is to support the cPanel php wrapper (php_cli).
# AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php72 .php .phtml
# php — END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

Another is:

.htaccess.preinstall

# php — BEGIN cPanel-generated handler, do not edit
# NOTE this account’s php is controlled via FPM and the vhost, this is a place holder.
# Do not edit. This next line is to support the cPanel php wrapper (php_cli).
# AddType application/x-httpd-ea-php72 .php .phtml
# php — END cPanel-generated handler, do not edit

I had seen an site that showed how to increase max upload file size using .htaccess and I tried it but it didn’t work of course. I think that’s when the problems started. I was cached logged-in though, so I didn’t notice the wp-admin login being gone until the next day (yesterday)

Should there just be 1 .htaccess file and in the root directory only?

I’m not seeing the same tables as in that screenshot. I don’t see themes or stylesheet in the wp_options table.

Thank you Steve- I appreciate the help. I was able to deactivate the plugins, but nothing changed. I uploaded the healthcheck plugin, but since I’m not able to log-in, is there a way to change my theme from ftp or file manager? I saw that the log-in page mentions cookies aren’t enabled, but they are on all browsers I use.

Oh thank you, I will try there.

Just want to add, if I add back a default template like twenty eleven, then they do appear.

Do you know how to make a theme (specifically the Blast theme) show a PAGE on the main URL instead of a post? From all the themes I’ve seen the only test on the “home” page is what’s in a post.

Oh i see, so it would then link to the single post instead of being too long? Thanks again…this is so great to know about. I actually don’t mind the template as it is now that I know it’s not broken or something I did. Gives it kind of a cleaner look. ??

oh i see…i didn’t even notice they were good on the single post pages I was so obsessed with trying to figure out why they didn’t show on the front page haha. thank you! Do you have any idea if removing the_excerpt() would break the theme? I will try it but if you have an experience with that i’d appreciate any feedback.

Just to add- links show fine on PAGES, just not POSTS.
