 * I did multisite to my blog a few years ago and I cant figure out what I did. 
   I want to remove it,
 * I found the .htaccess file and wp-config.php
 * I removed what I read to remove and it does not work.
    [https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/uninstall-multisite/](https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/uninstall-multisite/)
 * At one point it removed my ability to do any new blog posts. I could just see
   my blog, but do nothing to it. So I put it all back and it works again.
 * Im at a loss what to do.
 * Im more of a beginner with code. I know some things but I don’t do it enough 
   to remember them later.
 * Thank you in advance 🙂

 * Thank you for the reply. I don’t know that the link helped me, but it did show
   me that maybe I should post my codes and maybe that would shed some light into
   my problem.
 *  My wp-config.php looks like this:
 * [removed]
 * And my .htaccess looks like this:
 * > RewriteEngine off
   >  <IfModule mod_suphp.c> suPHP_ConfigPath /home/gwenna/public_html/
   > php.ini <Files php.ini> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> </IfModule>
   > RewriteEngine off <IfModule mod_suphp.c> suPHP_ConfigPath /home/gwenna/public_html/
   > php.ini <Files php.ini> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> </IfModule>
   > RewriteEngine off <IfModule mod_suphp.c> suPHP_ConfigPath /home/gwenna/public_html/
   > php.ini <Files php.ini> order allow,deny deny from all </Files> </IfModule>
   > # BEGIN WordPress
   >  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / 
   > RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule./
   > index.php [L] </IfModule>
   > # END WordPress
   > # Google Analytics Integration – Added by cPanel.
   >  <IfModule mod_substitute.
   > c> AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html Substitute “s|(<script src=’/
   > google_analytics_auto.js’></script>)?</head>|<script src=’/google_analytics_auto.
   > js’></script></head>|i” </IfModule> # END Google Analytics Integration

 * Is something off in these codes that would make it not work to follow the remove
   multisite instructions?

 * I was running on Genesis Framework, with a child theme. I disabled it since it
   was on the network. I’m also hosted with Hostgator

 * I recommend you to **delete your code **like keys in your wp-config file in your
   post. This can be used to acces your database **(tip)**.
 * Maybe you can use this guide? [http://www.owingmoneysucks.com/2008/11/28/how-to-reinstall-wordpress-safely/](http://www.owingmoneysucks.com/2008/11/28/how-to-reinstall-wordpress-safely/)
 * Otherwise, if you didn’t resolved this, I will help you to install a new WordPress
   website at your server. (Maybe you have to setup all new settings).

 * I did not realize you had commented, I am sorry I never responded. I went to 
   a developer and he could not figure it out. IN fact he just disappeared.. I can’t
   get a hold of him. Which is strange been a few weeks. He suggested reinstalling
   wordpress, but I’m unsure how to do this.

 * I think a complete fresh start but with all my content would probably fix the
   problem as it seems it’s a weird one.

 * Yes the only option is to upload the full core files of WordPress to your server
   without the wp-config.php file. If this doesn’t help, you have to reinstall WordPress
   on your server. You can export your files in your Dashboard menu. You will find
   this option (I am not sure) under “Extra” and then go to export.
 * I hope this will help you 🙂

 * Thank you. I’ll let you know if it works.
    Might take me time to get to it. But
   when I do I’ll Post back here if it worked. 🙂

 * If I delete wordpress and reinstall it. Will I lose all my pictures? I did the
   backup on my wordpress dashboard, but in the cpanel that’s where my pictures 
   are (at least that’s what I’m understanding anyways).. I sure with that developer
   didn’t bow out on me!

 * Yes that’s possible that you lost all your photos. I recommend you to create 
   a backup in you DirectAdmin or CPanel. You can also create a back-up with FileZilla.
   But when you are using FileZilla, you have to back-up also your database.
