  I made a mistake when editing the .htaccess file and the website has broken on me. Can you please help me revert the changes I made?

  Hi! Can you reach out to your host? They may have a copy of your original .htaccess file, or maybe even something recent that you can go back to. You can also find a basic WP .htaccess here if you just want to start over:
  https://wordpress.org/support/article/htaccess/

  Going forward, you’ll want to use the correct forum for self-managed WordPress installations:
  https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  Here’s the difference between that and our managed WordPress services:

  Hoping this helps!
