    Hello,

    i have messed up. i have wp ht access editor, which has been great, but i made a change and now i can’t access the front end at all – though i can get in via the host/ftp. no I didn’t back up the site first.

    Is there a way to delete the WP-htaccess editor via FTP? i have tried just delting or re naming the folder, but that hasn’t worked.

    I have a backup file, which the site says i can reload manually. does anyone know how to do this?

    Alternatively, if i need to reload wordpress, will the contents folder contain my articles and pictures? I don’t mind re-doing the pages etc, but i would like to have the articles up there already….

    thanks,

    i made a change

    You made a change to what? The plugin? Or your site’s .htaccess file?

    So what is currently in your .htaccess file? If it is very long, please use a pastebin.

    I can only get into it via FTP on my host. I have looked at the plugin file, but i can’t find the code that i had copied in in any of the files. perhaps if i knoew where that was, i could delete it?

    other than that i can’t see what is in the file because i can’t access it through worpress login

    You access the .htaccess file via FTP (or whatever file management application your host provides) – not via WordPress admin.

    Thanks,

    i found it in the end – it was invisible and so i had to change the ftp settings to find it. I deleted the code i had put into it and pulled the plugin out and it all now seems to be fine.

    i shall re load – very carefully – tomorrow….

    thanks for your help…
