You can take it out and use the edit css moving forward.

You got the url placed right. To make the background non-repeating, use this CSS:

body.home{background: url('https://www.coreintentions.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Sq-Town.jpg') no-repeat scroll 50% 50%/cover;}

50% 50% – vertical and horizontal position
cover – makes the image full width

I think you might want to get an image with a better quality as it gets blurry when made into full width. ??

How did you increase the memory limit? This usually works:

but you have to put the code before the line that has require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

This is the URL of your stylesheet:

https://www.coreintentions.com/wp-content/themes/snowfall/style.css?ver=4.5.2

Can you please add the CSS code that I gave you earlier to the bottom of style.css and I’ll check if it gets updated. Did you install any caching plugins? If yes, please clear the cache after updating the file.

Try disabling the WS Super Edit plugin. If you don’t have access to the dashboard anymore, go to the cpanel and use the file manager. Go to wp-content > plugins and rename wp-super-edit to something like xx-wp-super-edit.

Let me know if that helps.

Maybe you should try disabling the Ultimate Under Construction plugin for now from the plugin list in the dashboard as it is breaking your site.

Can you try adding a third parameter to the code?

define ('DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT', true, true);

The third parameter makes sure the there are no case-sensitive related errors to the constant DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT.

Your website now just displays a white page.

You might really want to contact hostgator on this. The contents of your htaccess file is correct.

You can also try doing this extra step if you can. If you have access to the file manager of your website, rename the .htaccess to something like .htaccess-backup1 and then go back to your website dashboard and save the permalink settings. This process should generate a new htaccess file.

You might want to check if your CSS has been added successfully. Can you disable the maintenance mode for a little while so that I can view the theme’s stylesheet?

Glad to have helped. ??

This trouble is usually caused by an invalid htaccess content or permalink settings. The plain permalink settings is the default setting however it is not SEO friendly. Can you try to set it to post name and see if it works?

Where did you put the code? Did you put it before or after the wp-settings.php inclusion?

sterndata’s code is correct.

Have you installed any plugins to the site recently?

It should be in wp-config.php as well. If you can access your cpanel you should be able to find that file if you go to the file manager.

Have you tried setting the permalinks to “Plain”?
