 * Tty to install plugins via WordPress and it continuously says “installing” or“
   unpacking” and then never does. Went to the FTP to get them over that way. That
   worked, but can not view the plugin settings or edit them, all I see is the blank
   screen. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.

 * Try adding:
    `AddType x-mapp-php5 .php` to the top of your WordPress .htaccess
   file to solve your downloading issue.

 * Thanks for your quick response. I can’t find the .htaccess file anywhere in the
   wordpress file and I can’t seem to get it to show using Filezilla. Not sure if
   I’m doing it right though.

 * If you’re using custom permalinks, it should be in the same folder as WordPress.
   Make sure that Filezilla is configured to show **all** files on your server.

 * Damn, unfortunately after clicking show all hidden files under server in Filezilla,
   I still can not see the htaccess. I’ve been told it could be a server problem(
   I’m on 1&1) but I don’t even know how to go about fixing that.

 * Use a [plain text editor](http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Text_editor) to
   create a file called “htaccess” with the following content:
 * `AddType x-mapp-php5 .php`
 * Upload that to the same directory as WordPress or to the root directory (could
   be public_html, html, web, www, public, etc) and rename it to “.htaccess”

 * Hey macmanx, you were very helpful before and thanks again. But I’ve run across
   another problem and was wondering if you could help again. I can’t do anything
   with my pages. They won’t update and I can’t add or remove them. It’s the same
   on two wordpress sites I’m working on. Thinking it must be a problem within my
   wordpress somewhere. Any ideas?
