   may help me with my current problem that’s sort of similar. But, since it’s been
   resolved no one is answering my question at the bottom. Can someone clearly explain
   to me how I’m supposed to add this file?

 * My blog is [here](http://missbakersbiologyclass.com/blog)
 * I can’t make any changes to my blog. I can’t add posts, edit my theme, etc. Whenever
   I click a button to save or make a change I get redirected to the home page of
   my blog.
 * Someone suggested I deactivate all my widgets and I did. But, it still doesn’t
   work!
 * Thanks for offering to help!

 * assuming this is your site, missbakersbiologyclass.com ..
 * Regarding creating an .htaccess:
 * set up your ftp client to view hidden files.
 * on your local computer, create a blank text file. name it htaccess
 * you can then upload that file to wherever you intend on having it.
 * once its been successfully uploaded to the server, you will need to rename it
   to .htaccess (the . (dot) is intentional)

 * Thank you! But, this didn’t end up working after all. I’m at a total loss. Do
   you have any other suggestions as to what might be causing this to happen?
