Automatic update to 4.9.1 broke my site
-
I am having problems after an auto-update to 4.9.1. Now if I have any form of .htaccess at all, my site (including admin pages) throws a 500 Internal Server error, even with the most basic of .htaccess file generated by updating my permalinks settings. It’s so bad that I cannot access the admin pages, and have to go in and delete the .htaccess via my cpanel file manager. Any ideas what could have hosed this so badly? I tried disabling the W3 Cache plugin, but that didn’t help
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please try the main domain sfn-ottawa.ca ( I cannot find a way to edit my post)
even the following very basic code in .htaccess results in a 500 internal Server Error:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule># END WordPress

I have isolated the problem to SPECIFICALLY the rewrite rules posted above. Other code for the W3 Cache plugin works fine. I’m stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello there, it looks like your site is using the standalone WP software.
For issues with standalone WP, you can find all the support information at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and the forums at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.
Standalone WP (org) and WordPressdotcom (where we are) are different entities with separate documentation and support forums; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
Best wishes.
