Restoring the previous .htaccess enables admin to be accessed again. * Plugin Author [parswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parswp/) * (@parswp) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-completely/#post-3363134) * Is there any installed plugin that plays with your .htaccess file and rules ? * [batters22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batters22/) * (@batters22) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-completely/#post-3363135) * No – pretty sure that original .htaccess is the default WP install. In any case I’ve just tried it again disabling other plugins, same result I’m afraid. * [batters22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batters22/) * (@batters22) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-completely/#post-3363136) * To add…. If I comment out this line in the new .htaccess then the Server error disappears: * `RewriteRule ^wp-admin/(.*?)$ /wp-admin/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]` * Don’t know enough about htaccess to comment further, I’m afraid. * Plugin Author [parswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parswp/) * (@parswp) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-completely/#post-3363137) * What about changing that line to this : `RewriteRule ^wp\-admin/(.*?)$ /wp\- admin/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [QSA,L]` * [batters22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batters22/) * (@batters22) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-completely/#post-3363138) * No, that still results in an error. Does it not do so when you test? * Plugin Author [parswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parswp/) * (@parswp) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-completely/#post-3363139) * Being bugs doesn’t mean that no test is performed. However i installed the plugin on a fresh installation of wordpress and on a working-years one. No internal error was given. * [batters22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batters22/) * (@batters22) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-completely/#post-3363140) * OK, I appreciate your efforts. I’ll have to find another solution. * [batters22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/batters22/) * (@batters22) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broken-completely/#post-3363141) * Just if it helps you, the .htaccess file changes still generate an internal server error even with the plugin completely removed. The server’s running Apache 2.2.23.
