htaccess file being emptied.

    I have a site using artemis theme with woocommerce. It has been working fine and not had any new plugins added. I suspect that plugins have been updated though.

    The site has started emptying the contents of the htaccess file when work is undertaken in wp-admin. It can be fixed by saving permalinks again.

    I have changed the permissions on .htaccess to 444 and this seemed to work but the problem occured after 1 hour of the client using wp-admin again, to edit and delete some products.

    I have tried switching themes and disabling plugins but the nature of the problem is such that it may break after a couple of edits in wp-admin or an hour. It is not consistent.

    Any ideas please?

    Hi,

    It appears that your website uses the self-hosted version of WordPress rather than WordPress.com, which is what this forum is designed to help with. Note the difference here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    You may be able to find help here: https://wordpress.org/support/ or alternatively contact your hosting provider.

    Hope this gets fixed soon!
