# htaccess issues causing link redirects

 * Okay, something strange is happening.
 * I have two wordpress installs under one domain name. Everything was working fine
   until I modified the .htaccess file under the root directory of the main domain.
   One install is located at domain/home which is the new site I’m working on, and
   the other is just domain.com for the original install.
    I went to make a redirect
   in cPanel and it wouldn’t allow me to write to the .htaccess file so I decided
   to change the .htaccess based upon some information I found on the codex page.
   However, ever since then I’ve had problems with the links on the new site (domain/
   home) going to the other sites pages. I even made sure that the links on the 
   new site are indeed looking at the new site…
 * I am running WP 4.0.1 and bulletproof security 5.1.4 on both sites.
 * How can I “reset” all of my .htaccess files on both sites?
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks,
 * Brian

 * I tried all of the solutions below and now it won’t even allow me to login to
   my admin. So, I restored the corrupted htaccess file and I am now able to login.
   But, the problem still remains.
 * I also tried uninstalling Bulletproof and nothing has changed. I hate to redo
   the entire site. Again, this install is under the same URL as the other but in
   a subfolder. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
