    As per instructions, I changed my permalink settings from the default. There was a message to update the .htaccess file but when I tried to do it manually in CPanel, I learned that I’m not allowed to do that. I can download the file via FTP but I cannot upload a revised file via FTP.

    Please advise.

  • Hey llizard,

    Check the permissions of the file and make sure you can write to it. Your host can help with this.

    Thanks,

    Thank you. I see that in the initial configuring of iThemes security (I had to move fast – my site was undergoing a brute force attack at the time), the permissions were changed to disallow me from changing the file.

    I’ll go into CPanel and change the permission temporarily to put in the necessary coding and then change it back to what it was.
