 * Hi
    If I select any permalinks other than the default it corrupts my htaccess
   file & then I cant login to the site after that.
 * My server host said this:
    The default .htaccess rule set for WordPress is:
 * —
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule
   > —
 * The issue was that, the rewrite rules to redirect translationdoctor.co.uk to 
   [http://www.translationdoctor.co.uk](http://www.translationdoctor.co.uk) in your
   main .htaccess file as shown below:
 * —
    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} . #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.translationdoctor\.
   co\.uk [NC] #RewriteRule (.*) [http://www.translationdoctor](http://www.translationdoctor)\.
   co\.uk/$1 [R=301,L] —
 * and the option to disable/enable various permalink options in WordPress admin
   panel is conflicting, because of which WordPress ends up erasing the default 
   rules for its own .htaccess file (wp/.htaccess), making the blog inaccessible.
   As of now, I have disabled the www redirect by commenting out the above rules,
   and everything is working fine now.
 * To be able to use both the options, you will need to seek assistance from WordPress.
   ——————-
 * Can you help?

   >  #RewriteRule(.*)
   > [http://www.translationdoctor](http://www.translationdoctor)\.co\.uk/$1 [R=
   > 301,L]
 * remove the backslashes. so it will be:
 * > #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.translationdoctor.co.uk [NC]
   >  #RewriteRule (.*)
   > [http://www.translationdoctor.co.uk/$1](http://www.translationdoctor.co.uk/$1)[
   > R=301,L]
 * *) Based on my site .htaccess, i find no backslashes for site redirect.
