tried the permalinks. no-go. and as for getting hung up, that’s exactly what i was thinking too, but until now i can’t figure out what part of the progression is either gone or changed, causing the error.
follow up, had this code all by itself in a random htaccess file that had no other code in it AddType application/x-httpd-php52 .php
commented it out, and it worked.
i don’t have that addhandler line in my htaccess file. any other ideas? i’m having the exact same problems accessing the themes, plugins, core updates.
