.htaccess keeps getting messed up

    Every 4 days or so, my website crashes because the .htaccess gets updated by wordpress and adds an extra s or other characters to the code. It is like it doesn’t see that the code is right already and trys to overwrite it.

    1. I have deleted the .htaccess and regenerated it in the dashboard
    2. I have set the permissions to 444
    3. I have turned off all of the plugins for a week and it still happened.

    If there are any ideas at all on how to stop this.

    It sounds like you have about tried it all! Do you have FrontPage Server Extensions turned on by accident?

    Do you have any Must-Use or Drop-ins plugins. Look at Installed Plugins in your Dashboard. If you have either of these, they will be shown at the top of the page in the totals. They are not shown in the list of plugins.

    Have you written anything custom in functions.php? Especially any thing that uses $wp_rewrite->flush_rules( true )?

    Even though your .htaccess file only has read permissions, plugins and things written in powerful files like functions can still write to it.

    Has your site ever been hacked? Do you add anything to the standard permalinks .htaccess file?
