It breaks my entire site! CSS and JS file can’t be loaded anymore. What should I do?

First of all, WP permalinks (Settings > Permalink) should be enabled and “work” on your site. Following this, make sure you use Apache webserver and not Nginx, Windows (IIS) or Multi-site as they need manual configuration. If they are OK it means you have a customized htaccess. Open your htaccess via a FTP program and follow below check list:

  • Make sure you have only ONE WP block. Delete FIRST one if there are more. WP block is something like below:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase / #OR YOUR DIRECTORY NAME
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    #[Probably HMWP LINES]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    
  • Make sure HMWP lines are right before:
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  • If you see below lines, comment them (i.e. add # before each line)
    RewriteCond [Something] 
    [One or more RewriteCond [Something]]
    RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
  • You may need to enable customized htaccess (in HMWP settings page) or change its permission to read-only to avoid WP updating htaccess frequently.
