Where Do I Find My Htaccess File in WordPress?

If you are using a self-hosted WordPress site, the most likely place to find your .htaccess file is in your WordPress root directory. If you are using a hosted WordPress site, your host may have placed your .

htaccess file in a different location. In either case, you can access your .htaccess file by opening your WordPress site in a web browser and entering the following address into the address bar:.

http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/includes/htaccess.php

If you are using a self-hosted WordPress site, you should also be able to access your .htaccess file by entering the following command into your terminal (or command prompt):

htaccess

If you are using a hosted WordPress site, you should first check to see if your .htaccess file is located at the root of your WordPress site. If it is not located at the root of your WordPress site, you can find it by entering the following command into your terminal (or command prompt):

find . -name ‘htaccess’

If your .htaccess file is not located at the root of your WordPress site, you can find it by entering the following command into your terminal (or command prompt):

find / -name ‘htaccess’

If your .htaccess file is not located in either of the previous two locations, you may need to create a symbolic link to your .

htaccess file. To do this, enter the following command into your terminal (or command prompt):.

ln -s /path/to/your/htaccess/file /path/to/the/symbolic/link/you/want/to/create.
