Thread: My WP htaccess is EMPTY!!(??)

Hi,

I encountered a strange thing today. I was trying to modify my .htaccess file, I opened it in Notepad and was in shock to discover it contained NOTHING or at least just this:

HTML Code:

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

.

If you are wondering if I opened the right htaccess file, i will tell you yes because it is in the same directory with my index file for wordpress. and I installed the Blog in the ROOT directory itself. The site, as I said works just fine, but how can I make changes to the htaccess when there is nothing? How can I remake a new Htaccess based on the specifications of my site.

P.S. I made a copy of an old .htaccess (before upgrade) but I am afraid to use it since I don't really know if it will destroy anything...any suggestion, please?
Merci beaucoup...

So put whatever else you need behind it.. should work

Thanks Karen,

You mean, I can write things inside the "empty" htacess file? (between the #Begin WP and #End WP)? or are you referring to the old file I saved?

No.. write things AFTER the #end wp

Like your old htacess entries.

really appreciate it, Karen! Thanks a bunch
