if it helps i just tried deleting htaccess and rewrite.php and got exactly the same error as when they were there.

found this https://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/misc/FAQ.html#malfiles but all i have in my ftp is .gnome2 folder which is empty and public_html which is where the contents of the unzipped wordpress files sits. i can’t see how i can access httpd.conf file

thanks

hi thanks for checking it out.

I have tried to look into what you have suggested but i am not that knowledgeable with the depths of coding hence why i have become completely unstuck with this problem.

I have looked with my ftp program and can’t see any httpd.conf file. In my offline set up that file is situated outside of all the file I have connetced to wordpress. location is K:\My Pictures\xampp\apache\conf and my offline wordpress site is set up on K:\My Pictures\xampp\htdocs. so i have no idea where to find that file online to check its status.

also i have tried to see if i can work out if mod_rewirte is on but can’t. i followed the instruction of this link https://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-test-check-if-mod-rewrite-is-enabled-t40.html and got returned exactly the same problem is i do with all my link. 403 FORBIDDEN

if it helps this is my htaccess file
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

as it says rewrite engine on i’m guess that means mod rewrite is on

where do i find the files i need to check?

thanks

Adam
