I’m back in by change the name of .htaccess in the root. But do I still have ithemes protection? At the settings part everything looks the same like yesterday, but my .htaccess has changed, offcourse. It’s now just a standard htaccess as it comes from wordpress.
In the defect htaccess I have the following code: I have changed dirs and url to xxxx, so that isn’t a fault.

Can anyone tell me what I have to change before I put it back? I think it’s important to get the full protection from ithemes to do so.
