Hi, have you checked if the folder wp-admin still exists with files in? You can do so using the File Manager from cPanel or login through FTP.
Then, WordPress does use htaccess to serve the content. You should have a look at the htaccess article in WP Codex for more information. It means you’ll have to upload an archived copy or brand new version of an htaccess file.
Well actually I have another site with the same host and looking trough the directories there is no sign of the file .htaccess whatsoever. so that means there is no need for that file. Also I have tried to add manually the file and it doesn’t work.
Thanks
Many hosts experienced problems due to mass attacks recently and may have limited access to wp-admin and/or wp-login.php as a result. Your hosts may be one of them. Try contacting them about it.
That said, we do not recommend running WordPress on free hosting.
I noticed that some file managers are hiding the .htaccess file which still does exist and still needed. Using filezilla FTP, I always seem to find this file and can edit it right from there.
Depending on your hosting environment, if it is Windows based Apache, the file could have to be named htaccess.txt to work. On an IIS Windows server, you should use the Web.config file which I haven’t had the change to play with. It uses a different syntax.
Did you get a response from your Web host ?
