Dear esmi,

Today is a new day, happy one too.

I was just about to enquire with my ISP 123-reg.co.uk about deleting the index.html file which I had failed to do so with both their File Manager utility and FileZilla when I tried to recreate the action so I could document it accurately.

I tried the delete using their File Manager and the file deleted instantly! On enquiry I found the the ISP was under a serious DDOS attack when I was working with my site. A coincidence? However problem now resolved.

Thank you again.

OK Thanks…Peter

OK I’m starting to get it.

Tried to Delete the index.html using 123-reg.co.uk ‘s File Manager. But the file persists.

Thanks for your help.

Hello esmi,

I think I’m misunderstanding something here. I thought that WP would let me create the web site pages in situ, on my ISPs server.

Do I need to create them on my PC (with WP?) and then upload them to my ISPs server using FileZilla/FTP?

Thanks for your time… Pete

Hello esmi,

I’ve been reading up on Permalinks and have now changed the setting and behold, I now have a .htaccess file!

Thank you. Problem solved, but I still can’t see the test pages I’ve created. I’ll keep digging… Pete

Hello esmi,

Thanks for your prompt response.

First time I’ve used this programme.
Not got that far so must assume these are set to default.

Regards Pete
