.htaccess – where is this file?

  • I activated my buddypress plugin and to do that i had to change my permalink settings from default to another one offered within wordpress ready options…

    cool

    but then i get this message
    If your .htaccess file were writable, we could do this automatically, but it isn’t so these are the mod_rewrite rules you should have in your .htaccess file. Click in the field and press CTRL + a to select all.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /wordpress/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    The point is
    Where do i find this file that i need to update. I did a search in the wordpress folder and this file is not there?

    Please Help
    Thanks
    Anand

  • Your .htaccess file will be in the root of your FTP server. If you have access to your FTP folder, go to root and it should be there. It is not located in a wordpress folder.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to post back.

    I checked for the file and it was not there in the root folder. I guess that must be the reason why i am having this problem. Thanks for the help.

    cheers

    I have another question though

    i keep getting this message as well

    An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request.

    Dunno why?
