htaccess

Hello @kobler

I hope you’re well today!

There are two ways of doing that:

1) you can make Hummingbird remove them

– install and enable Hummingbird back and then in plugin
– make sure to disable “Hummingbird -> Caching -> Browser Caching”
– disable “Hummingbird -> Gzip Compression” if there is such option given; Gzip compression is often “out of the box” enabled on servers
– then disable the plugin and remove it again, via “Plugins -> all plugins” page

OR instead

– install and enable Hummingbird back
– go to “Hummingbird -> Settings -> Data & Settings” page
– in “Uninstallation” section set “Settings” switch to “Reset” and “Data” switch to “Remove” and save settings
– then save changes and again disable and remove plugin via “Plugins -> All plugins” page

2) or you can clear it up manually by editing .htaccess file (via FTP or cPanel’s “File Manager” or similar tool):

all the code added by Hummingbird is between the lines that start with

# BEGIN WP-HUMMINGBIRD

and

# END WP-HUMMINGBIRD

so you can just remove all the code between these lines, including these lines (even though they are just comments).

Kind regards,
Adam
