 * Hello guys and gals.
 * I am having some issues. Yesterday I had a perfectly working blog and was working
   on the theme, and now today, I am getting constant 404 error pages, and they 
   aren’t even the 404 error pages that match my theme.
 * I think this may have something to do with the .htaccess file, which is missing
   now. I think this was caused when I had my hosting service remove the forums 
   I had on my site so I can reinstall it.
 * Basically, I think that once I get a proper .htaccess file on the server, things
   will be better, but I am not sure what to put in the .htaccess file, as I never
   mess with that file.
 * Can someone tell me what should be in that file? Or how to generate a new one?

 * Nevermind. I figured out what should go in the .htaccess file.
 * For future reference I put this:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
   
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
   
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </IfModule>
       ```
