To CarrieM and others,
I followed the suggestion of CarrieM and deleted .htaccess. But oh my, there were 2 .htaccess files in my database files, and I did not know so I, clever me, deleted the wrong one. Still no eccess. So I had to delete the other one too, it read: deny from all.
Still no access!
Then I found a .htaccess text on some forum, it read:
# BEGIN WordPress<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
Now I could enter my site again, and I hope will be in the future as Ithemes Security asked to change files and I gave permission. so for the future… I do not know what other problems I will meet.
The corrupted .htaccess had onl;y one line: deny from all
On some other forum I read to delete the .htaccess
I deleted the wrong .htccess as I later discovered there were 2 .htaccess filesThen I made a new .htaccess file (txt found somewhere:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress
But I’m sure the other changed files are still corrupted.
But still: how can I even try if my site is still blocked?
I am locked out too and I have not enough technical expertise to do all the steps with the database! I am afraid I will have to delete my WordPress completely from the installatron (FTP server). And then install it again and import the files from my backup. Any other help for a not so technical person?
I installed my version less then 2 days ago, so it seems the new version has problems too. I can kick myself for allowing this plugin to change my settings!
What I absolutely do not understand is that a plugin with so many problems gets an 5 star rating! For me that was a reassurance.
