Edited your theme? Installed any other plugins? Played about with your Permalinks? Changed your .htaccess?

I was trying to upload an image it wasn’t working so I googled that. * My search led me to this plugin: Image Upload HTTP Error Fix * So I uploaded it and when I went to activate it : POUFF everything was gone. * [alism](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alism/) * (@alism) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-internal-error-help/#post-1284070) * Ok, have a look at your .htaccess file in the root directory and/or wp-admin folders. I’m guessing it’s messed with that/them. * If you don’t know what to look for, try just renaming it to htaccess.txt for the time being, just to see if it brings the site back up again. * Or post it here. * Thread Starter [mikey22](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikey22/) * (@mikey22) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-causes-internal-error-help/#post-1284072) * ok i’m not sure if im doing this right but browsing through my wp-admin (using filezilla) there is no .htaccess file, only .php and .css files. * I don’t know where else to look for this file forgive my newbness? * [Rev.
