Hey Len,

Happy to Help!!!!

I remember what a nightmare it was with the ’screen of death’…and what a relief it was to get it working again.

Thanks for leaving a comment.

You are AWESOME! My site finally works again because of your post. Phew! I still have no idea why it stopped working all of a sudden, but who cares right, that .htaccess thing fixed everything. Thank you! Kisses, LEN

Hey Paul,

Thanks for your comment. Wordpress and I enjoy a love hate relationship and it’s been striking back at me again since this first episode which I’ll be posting about soon to help out of anyone else discovers the same problem.

But it’s just a little bump along our way!

Hope all is well mate.

As the old saying goes: There’s no such thing as a perfect system. In my case, I did encounter some errors with Wordpress. Good thing I always make a backup of my database. Having a backup is a life saver. :-)

Hi Rob,

I hate it when things like that happen, you’re probably the same as me when it comes to wanting the answer to why things have happened? I’m not content with just knowing its fixed now.

When something like this happens you it just makes you want to find out why, so that you can try and avoid it happening again. Rather than having to just hope it doesn’t happen again!

So on that note, I hope it doesn’t happen again, and I also hope it doesn’t happen to me either… But at least if it does I’ll know where to come to find the solution. ;)

Brilliant!!!

Thanks very much for stopping by and clearing that one up Kenneth.

It’s still a little weird that it happened with nothing being changed and after the blog running without a problem for a few months, but I’ll trust your expertise on this one.

Thank you for the ‘permissions’ link too.

I suspect it has to do with the permissions of the .htaccess file. When you saved it, after cut/pasting the same text, you saved it with permissions that allowed wordpress to automatically update. See
http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions for more detail.
