 * Hello,
    I’m sorry if this is a duplicate post, but I can’t find my other one 
   in the forum. I am using Fantastico in C-Panel to create a new blog and I’m afraid
   I has fouled it up beyond repair by messing with the categories and permalinks.
   Is there a way to reset WordPress to the original settings so I can start over?
   Thanks, golfcomp

 * If you toyed with the permalinks, that’s proberly the only problem…can be a nightmare
   if you’re new…
 * Look for file manager in your CPanel…..
 * Once you have that open, in the Public_html folder, look for a file called….
 * > .htaccess
 * Open that file and remove any lines inside these bits..
 *     ```
       # Begin WordPress
   
       # End WordPress
       ```
   
 * .. Click save…
 * Now load your page again…
