To set the settings for permalink, directions say:
If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.
I can't find the .htaccess files to figure out how to do the above. Can someone please lead me step by step?
Thank you.
in file manager it would be 1st file listed in wordpress root.
to do it automatically, you would chmod .htaccess to 666 - save permalinks and chmod back to 644 for security
if you don't have an .htaccess file yet

Hi, I called bluehost and they guided me to create one in the root rather than in the wordpress root. I just created another one in the wordpress root. Will it be a problem to have the other one, a level above wordpress? Shall I delete it or leave it?
Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly.
Is there a search feature on the support forum?

if wordpress is not in root, you still need one in root but also one in wordpress root.
