Har du problem med att hitta .htaccess-filen i WordPress?
En av de vanligaste frågorna vi får från Beginnare är: ”Var är min .htaccess-fil? Att inte kunna hitta den kan vara frustrerande, eftersom du kan behöva edit eller delete den för att fixa vanliga WordPress error.
I den här artikeln förklarar vi varför filen .htaccess inte finns på din site WordPress och visar dig hur du hittar den.
Vad är .htaccess-filen?
.htaccess-filen är en server-konfigurationsfil som talar om för din server hur den ska hantera vissa uppgifter på din website. Den är location i din WordPress.org site’s root folder.
Några uppgifter som denna PHP-fil kan hantera inkluderar hantering av permanenta links, redirect av användare, password-skydd av admin area, med mera. Tänk på det som en bruksanvisning för din web server.
Varför saknas .htaccess-filen?
Du kanske inte kan hitta .htaccess-filen eftersom den kan vara dold av din FTP eller filhanterare. Eller så finns den inte, och du kan behöva uppdatera inställningarna för permalänken.
Vi kommer att förklara båda dessa scenarier med lösningar för att lokalisera filen. Använd gratis dessa länkar för att hoppa till ett specifikt scenario:
Scenario 1: Din FTP eller filhanterare visar inte dolda filer
Punkten före filnamnet .htaccess indikerar att det är en dold fil. När du ansluter till din server på webbhotellet WordPress med en FTP-klient visas som standard inte de dolda filerna.
För att göra dolda filer synliga måste du ändra dina FTP-inställningar.
I FileZilla hittar du det här objektet genom att clicka på menu item ”Server” och sedan välja ”Force showing hidden files”.
För andra FTP-klienter hittar du alternativet att visa dolda filer i appens inställningar eller i menyn Alternativ. När du har aktiverat det här alternativet kan du view all dolda filer, inklusive .htaccess-filen för din website i WordPress.
För de som använder appen File Manager i webbhotellets kontrollpanel hittar du alternativet att visa dolda filer.
Om din hosting provider använder cPanel kan du clicka på knappen ”Settings” högst upp i högra hörnet.
Scenario 2: .htaccess-filen finns inte
Den näst vanligaste orsaken till att en .htaccess-fil saknas är att din WordPress site ej har genererat den ännu.
WordPress genererar automatiskt en .htaccess-fil eftersom den är obligatorisk för att korrekt redirecta permalänkar.
Om din .htaccess-fil saknas är det första du behöver göra att besöka Settings ” Permalinks från din WordPress dashboard. Klicka sedan på knappen ”Save Changes” utan att ändra inställningarna för permalänkarnas struktur.
WordPress kommer nu att försöka generera .htaccess-filen åt dig.
I vissa fall kanske WordPress inte kan generera .htaccess-filen på grund av ett problem med filens behörighet. Om så är fallet visas ett message längst ner på sidan Settings ” Permalinks som säger att ”.htaccess-filen inte är skrivbar”.
Du måste manuellt skapa en new .htaccess-fil och lägga till följande code snippet i den:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /mysite/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
Bara copy and paste den här koden i en textredigerare som gillar Notepad. Efter det måste du save den som en .htaccess-fil på ditt skrivbord.
Anslut nu till din website med hjälp av en FTP-klient och uploada .htaccess-filen från ditt skrivbord.
Om du får ett error när du uppladdar filen måste du ändra behörigheten för filen i din root directory.
Låt oss anta att alla dina WordPress-filer finns under /home/johnsmith/public_html/. Detta gör mappen public_html till din root directory. Du måste gå till dess parent directory och högerklicka på mappen public_html.
Därefter väljer du ”File Permissions”, vilket öppnar en dialogbox för filbehörigheter.
You need to enter ’755’ into the ’Numeric value’ box and then try to upload your .htaccess file to the public_html folder.
Och det var allt! Om du är nyfiken på .htaccess kan du läsa mer om det i vår artikel om de mest användbara .htaccess-tricken för WordPress.
Note : När du har hittat din .htaccess-fil föreslår vi att du först skapar en backup av din WordPress site innan du redigerar den. Felaktiga edits kan orsaka website functionality issues.
Vad gör du om du inte kan skapa eller edit .htaccess
I vissa situationer kan du stöta på problem med att skapa eller editera .htaccess-filen på din WordPress site.
Till exempel kan konfigurationen av din web server begränsa edit av vissa filer, inklusive .htaccess-filen. I sällsynta fall kan ett plugin till och med störa din förmåga att hantera .htaccess-filen.
Om du har försökt med de nämnda tipsen för felsökning och fortfarande inte kan skapa eller edit .htaccess-filen, är det bästa att kontakta supportteamet hos din hosting provider för WordPress.
För mer information kan du läsa vår guide om hur du ber om support för WordPress och får det.

If you have multiple with the same name for some reason, you may want to check with your hosting provider’s support in case it was set up for something specific to your hosting provider.

I still can’t find the .htaccess file. I’m using a free WP site (so plugins aren’t available), and there’s no ”permalinks” section in the admin for me to manually create the file. What should I do?
Thanks!
WPBeginner Support
WordPress.com does not give access to your htaccess file. If you wanted that you would need to use WordPress.org and we have our comparison guide on the two below:

Yes, your site should have an .htaccess file. It handles some things on your site and gives you more tools you can use.

Also you may not be able to the find .htaccess file on the site server, since NGNIX is being used.
WPBeginner Support
You are correct, that is another possibility but not always a common one

hi. I tried to see if the file was hidden. This didn’t start showing .htaccess. I then went to permalinks and saved changes (even tried updating some settings and updating again) a few times. I didn’t get any text from WP. It just accepted the changes. I still can’t see the htaccess file.
Not sure why this is happening. Can you please help.
WPBeginner Support
You may want to check your hosting provider to see if they see the htaccess on their end.

hey there,
I followed the instructions step by step, however I still cannot find the .htaccess -.-
when I create one on my mac with text pad (or should I use word doc?) and try to paste it via ftp (filezilla) in the ” / ” folder but it still does’nt work.
The links on my wordpress shows ”404 Not Found nginx”
please help!!
WPBeginner Support
You may want to ensure you don’t have a file extension on the end of your .htaccess file as that is one of the more common reasons it does not work.

Go in WordPress and then click on settings and then select permalinks and then select plain and then save changes

This probably worked once, but no longer. No message appears on the Permalinks page when you save it. Show Hidden Files in FileZilla doesn’t reveal the .htaccess file. Pretty much useless from the get-go.
WPBeginner Support
Hi Don,
It still works. .htaccess file is hidden by default. If you cannot see it in your FTP client, then please try a different FTP program.

I have the same problem. No .htaccess using CuteFTP (yes, I enabled filters) and the file manager in Plesk. Does this mean there isn’t one??? Please answer!!!
WPBeginner Support
Hi Carolina,
If your web hosting server is using a different software like Windows or Nginx then you may not be able ot find .htaccess file.

It helps a lot .. Thanks .. i can access again my website .

The htaccess rewrite worked! Thanks ever so much for your help. Brain is fried after a complete loss of dashboard today. I had to create a .htaccess file and upload it through ftp.
Thanks again
Kathy
OMG thank you. I added this to my .htaccess file
php_value upload_max_filesize 64M
php_value post_max_size 64M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
FTP wouldn’t let me overwrite .htaccess so I uploaded it as .htaccess-new then deleted .htaccess and renamed .htaccess-new to .htaccess
Yay!

Hello,
I am unable to select any of the code in the box to recreate my .htaccess file. It appears to be an image file only…
Thanks.

Can you please tell me how to keep WP back end log in longer time when i am on back end for uploading? because due to SSL, it automatically logs out of the account in some minutes and ask me to log in again. this is troublesome, thank you

I have the same problem! did you find a solution?
please help.
thanks
Kay Collier
The permalinks solution didn’t work for me either.
In cPanel I have a page that will allow me to edit 403 (forbidden) but when I click on the code to edit I’m absolutely lost which is very annoying as I’m sure it must be easy to do, if only I knew how!
Can anyone explain please?
Sincerely
Kay

Hi!
I am new to wordpress and have set up my wordpress site this weekend. To ensure it is safe, I followed the htaccess/htpasswd settings today and all worked fine.
After some hours, I could not access my wordpress site anymore but get the error message
[Tue Nov 01 20:31:36 2016] [authn_file:error] [pid 26428] [client xxx.xxx.xx.xxx] [host xxx.xxx.de] AH01620: Could not open password file: /XXX.htpasswd
How can I overcome this issue?
thanks for any help!

Having tried the above I still can’t see my htacess file and I do not get the message saying not rewritable under permalinks. Can anybody help, I’ve been getting the 500 Internal Server Error for two days now and am desperate to update to the latest version of Wordpress. My site is slow and shows the message frequently. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Solved: Yesterday I started my second wp site, all went well until I noticed that all permalink options didn`t work except the default one, every time I changed to another permalink structure, I received the famous 404 error. I cross referanced with my first wp site, and noticed that the web.config file was not in the root. Obviously I copied and pasted the web.config file from my first site to my new site, refreshed and now all permalinks work fine.

Thanks you so much Balkhi, Your information is brilliant Boss. Thanks again.
Dave Naylor
It’s worth pointing out that your .htaccess file might be missing because you don’t need one. For instance the Nginx web server doesn’t use .htaccess files for security and performance reasons.
Pierre Gazzola
Hope you do not intended to leave permission at 755 for the file or anyone would be able to hack your site via that file no ?
WPBeginner Support
755 is safe, 777 will make your files writable by anyone.

I had occasion to look around for some redirection plugins for WP, and I noticed that some implement ”hit counters.” I suspect all of them have to put something in the .htaccess file. I would love to see an article that goes into more depth on redirection, link cloaking, and hit counters.
Kasa
Isnt it easier co create .htacces right in cPanel (if you dont have it) rather than saving in notepad and uploading via ftp?
I think that way is more easier and faster.
WPBeginner Support
Kasa yes this should work too, however many users don’t have access to cPanel. Some webhosts use their own hosting control panels.
