 * If you want to bulk edit information, here is a link explaining how to do that
   in the database – [http://freewptp.com/tutorials/bulk-edit-wordpress-posts-and-pages/](http://freewptp.com/tutorials/bulk-edit-wordpress-posts-and-pages/).
   Make sure to do a backup of your site and database before making changes in the
   database. I always run the SQL in preview mode to see what it changes and I run
   it locally before I execute it on a live site.

 * You can use either file manager in the cpanel of your hosting provider or something
   like filezilla ftp software to get access to the .htaccess file and change file
   permissions. Or you could ask your hosting provider if they can change the file
   permissions. In general, htaccess should have file permission of 644 which gives
   owner read and write permissions and group and public users only read permission.

   example code I posted way above. You need to change the parameters to display

 * What’s the url of your website?
 * Also go to Admin Dashboard>Settings>Permalinks and refresh the permalinks by 
   clicking Save. If that doesn’t work, chose another option for permalink, click
   Save, then go back to the original option you had for permalinks and click Save
   again. Sometimes, that fixes the issue.

 * He explains on how to remove it. But at end of article he does mention following:
   I’d start with the likely source of your problem, your server’s recent upgrade
   of PHP that you ignored because surely nothing would go wrong.
 * If you were not seeing it before and you didn’t make any changes in code, it 
   could be a PHP version issue on your web hosting site.

   working live on your site? If so, do post your website url.

 * Are you doing this on local computer or on a domain? Please post link if it’s
   on a web host and I can take a look at it. Also ask your web hosting provider
   if they do backups. You might be able to recover from an earlier setup if they
   do.
 * If your website is new, I would recommend doing a clean install and recreating
   the whole thing again. I have done this and realized it’s faster to do it this
   way than try to fix something. But that’s only if you don’t have a lot of blog
   posts and data already on the site.
 * Some things I would recommend to do are:
    1. Create a local wordpress install
   and test out your changes there. There are many youtube videos on this. 2. If
   using local install, FTP or use git push if your web host supports it, to push
   the files to your account. 2. Install and activate a wordpress backup plugin 
   like UpDraftPlus which backups wordpress if your web hosting provider does not
   do backups. I would also recommend testing the backups it created after making
   some minor changes on your site so that if you ever need to recover from a backup,
   you would know that it works. Using the plugin I mentioned, you can backup on
   dropbox or google account. dropbox is free upto certain limit.
 * At the very least, do a backup of site so that you can recover if needed in the
   future.
