Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: .htaccess reverting to defaultI also would like to report that it was a problem with malware, However I would like to report that the malware was in a wordpress installation in a folder under the wordpress installation where the problem was manifested. In other words the hack was affecting both the local wordpress installation and the one in the parent folder. Running Malware scanner and re-installing the current release did it.
I suspect that the malware was so focused on preventing anything but a standard .htaccess file was to prevent security addins such as Bulletproof Security from being activated.

In reply to: .htaccess reverting to defaultActually I just tested one of the subsites by making a test of changing their .htaccess file and it changed back as well.

In reply to: .htaccess reverting to defaultSingle site installation(s) and it does not seem that the other sites are affected although I may not be sure on that since the other sites do not need any redirects and thus only seem to need a standard .htaccess file.

In reply to: .htaccess reverting to default@james Huff. It is Godaddy, but it is not a Managed WordPress plan. I do however have several subsites in folders under the main site that are also running WordPress.

In reply to: .htaccess reverting to default@james Huff: made no difference. The edited version was replaced with the default in less than a minute.

In reply to: .htaccess reverting to default@neotechnomad I have no trouble replacing the .htaccess file, the problem is that within seconds of doing so something is changing it back to the default.

In reply to: .htaccess reverting to default@james Huff. I have a malware scanner plugin, no extra security plugin I do have a SEO plugin that allows you to edit the .htaccess file and I tried editing the .htaccess file from within the plugin but no difference, it still quickly reverted back. In addition I tested disabling all plugins and the behavior did not change.

In reply to: .htaccess reverting to default@james Huff, Outside the block. I have experimented with both before the block and after the block with no difference. The .htaccess file consists of just the WordPress block and a fairly long (about 20kb) list of 301 Redirect lines.
