 * Hi,
 * First, with your FTP browser (for example : Filezilla), download the file called
   HTACCESS that is in the WWW root folder. of your website.
    If something seems
   to be strange into the file, paste the code here.

 * OK, so there is no rules to block some files/folders.
 * But if there is nothing between **BEGIN WordPress** and **END WordPress**, it
   miss something important for WordPress…
 * Try by adding this :
 *     ```
       # 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
       ```
   
 * Then save the file, and upload it to overwrite it.
    Then test again.

 * I forgot something important… If your site has been hacked.
 * Still with your FTP browser, check the Date/Time of the last modification of 
   each files first in your Theme folder ! Then in the root WWW, wp-admin, wp-includes
   folders.
    The hacker has perhaps used SQL injection to change your files hosted
   on your FTP server ! Folder permissions as well ! See with Filezilla.
 * What’s your website URL ?

 * I checked All Date/Time. All Files is true.
 * I add that code in HTACCESS file, but show error yet.
 * Website Url: [http://www.acch.ir](http://www.acch.ir)
