regenerate .htaccess file in WordPress

[Rex Maughan]

I deleted my .htaccess for some reason, when Wordpress regenerate it?

[Christian J]

WordPress will automatically regenerate the .htaccess file but you can also do it by yourself.

Access your WordPress dashboard, then go to Settings >> Permalinks, and click "Save Changes."

It will regenerate the .htaccess file with the correct default rules.
