Can't access Permalink page in Admin

    I was recently adding thousands of pages when I lost the ability to update WordPress. I now can’t update or view pages. After some research, I believe that the issue revolves around the custom permalink structure I am using. Unfortunately, now I’m unable to access the Permalink page in the admin to change it. When i try to access it, I keep getting the standard Fatal Error Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in public_html/wp-includes/rewrite.php on line 875.

    Is there any way to modify the permalink structure outside of the admin area? Or possibly reset the structure?

    Have you tried renaming your .htaccess file? That might allow you to log back in again and reset the permalinks to the default setting.

    For some reason, I’m unable to view and modify the .htaccess file. My host keeps the file hidden in the control panel. I’ve emailed them on how to access the hidden files. Is there possibly a way to access the permalink structure via the database?

    Accessed the .htaccess file, tried renaming it, re-logged into the admin area and still can’t access the Permalinks page. This is the entirety of my .htaccess file

    # Use PHP5 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5s .php

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Ten theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides. You may need to try logging into your site to get this to kick in fully.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
