If anyone could help me with this, that would be so awesome:
I migrated my site to make it live today, and in the process I deleted the .htaccess file without backing it up (I know--idiotic move on my part!). Now, even if I regenerate it in the backoffice by toggling the Friendly URL option, it still remains blank. I am very new to all of this, but based on the threads I've been reading, .htaccess seems pretty darn important... and I'm thinking it may be the reason why I can't upload any more images.
When I tried to upload a new image for a product, it shows up as a broken link image, and the console says its a 404 error and the image couldn't be found. When I went into the img folder, I realized that the images were not even generating, thus the error..
I'm afraid to regenerate thumbnails in case I lose all my existing images on the front end..
I know it's not the size of the image that's the problem, because it is the exact same size and quality as as all my previously uploaded images.
Any help would be so appreciated!
