.htaccess keeps getting modified – taking down site

    I have an installation of WordPress where, after recently installing a new theme, the .htaccess file is being modified and causing the site to go down. This has happened three times this week and when I change it back the site comes up again.

    Here’s what the code looks like when the site goes – looks like just a spacing issue. What could be causing this?

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

# END WordPress

    Does the htaccess file get overwritten every time you activate any theme? Or does it only happen with 1 particular theme?

    I haven’t tried activating another theme, as far as I know it’s just this one. I developed this theme based off the underscores starter theme. Since it’s a redesign, I’m trying to avoid reverting back to the old theme.
