Forbidden You don’t have permission to access this resource

I installed a new WP site last week on uniform server, and spent the week building my sit using Divi builder. Today I noticed my URL was showing and ID number and not page titles so i went to settings>permalinks and changed it from “plain” to “post Name”.

As soon as I hit save my page blew up and I got the Forbidden message shown in the title of this post. From searching I found the following had been written to my .htaccess file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

If I in turn remove this code from the htaccess file I can load the home page and the wp-admin page to get to settings. However, no other page can be loaded.

I am unable to find any reference as to which files permission may have changed and even if I did I do not know where to see the files and folder permissions in uniform server. Any direction would be appreciated.
