   It looks like there is something wrong with our .htaccess code, whenever we add .txt to the end of the .htaccess file name, the site runs perfectly, however, enable the .htaccess file - we get the error 500 internal server error message.

   Here is all of the .htaccess:
   

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   # END WordPress

   Can anyone see what is wrong with it? Or suggest a way to fix this?

   copy all bu the wordpress code and paste that into a text document and save it. Delete everything bu the wordpress code and load that .htaccess. Then if it shows up add each code individually until you find the one that breaks it and break that code down by line until you find the line that is breaking it.

   unfortunately this is probably a server issue that is why I am telling you to do it this way. There is no real problem with the code you have therefore it is probably a rule that the server does not support.

   Just a caveat: lots of shared host don't support expired headers.

   I've done what you said, even with just the WordPress stuff gives the 500 internal server error. Luckily, I've got a backup of the .htaccess. I've uploaded that and it works, but If I I go to make a change to this backup .htaccess and save it, the error returns again.

   edit your .htaccess file. First delete all the content . After that put the below code in the file and save the file.

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   # END WordPress
