Question:

How to create .htaccess file and upload it in root directory?

by Guest22620107 | 1 year, 4 month(s) ago

Installing wordpress is quite easy, but sometimes it gets really disappointing, when I am unable to create and upload .htaccess file into the root directory. I have been trying to create the same file for several times, but I failed to do so. This is for the last time when I was trying to create the said file and while changing the permalink structure in wordpress, I received an error that states, update your .htaccess file. I am totally blank about it and I don’t know how to deal with this file. Please tell me how can I create and upload it in root directory? You kind help will be well regarded.

2. This is how you we create .htaccess file. Now the next step is to upload it on server. So, sign in to cPanel entering URL, such as www dot domainname dot com/cpanel and go to the File Manager option.
3. Clicking the File Manager tab will open a new window showing your root directory.
