htaccess causing admin layout error

paul griffiths

everything across the whole website was working fine...until i edited the htaccess file which caused the layout of the dashboard to not be correct. the config in root nor the config in /admin was changed. I did restore the default htacess file although this to did not correct the layout.
current htaccess looks like this:-

# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

    Hello, Paul,

    It is unclear what changes you did to .htaccess. What would you like to achieve with these changes?

    Kind regards,

    Hello, Paul,

    There are a lot of changes to .htaccess. You should add them one by one to check what causes the issue. Most likely some resource file (css or js) is not loaded properly after these changes.

    Also, I noticed that there are multiple rewriteCond lines but they are not ended by RewriteRule. Usually rewriteCond directives are closed by RewriteRule because they are conditions for the specified rule.

    Kind regards,

    Karapuz

    Thanks that helps me. I admit i pasted 'rules' from google help which obviously was incomplete.
    now i just need to correct this coding, and to get my dashboard to display correctly.

    Hello, Paul,

    It is possible to open a developer console in browser and see if there are any errors regarding file loading.

    In chrome on windows it can be found here:

    Later, open a page where you see any issues and check two tabs in the developer tools: 'Console', 'Network'. It might give you some clue on what is going on.

    Thank you for addressin this issue. I experienced the same problem on the http://englishinsane.com/  but after reaching out to the developer and making a few adjustments to the basic code, the issue was resolved.
