liriotherapy,
If you resubmit your lines (hopefuily the file is not too large), however EDIT/change and references to your domain, using instead EXAMPLE.com, than your submission should be o.k.

Hopefully than, somebody may assist you.

404s are a normal server response when a file is requested that is not found. "Bummer!" is not normally part of the server response. Where do you see these 404s? Are these generated by some plugin? Have you created a "Search Console" account with Google? You can also create a similar Webmaster Tools account with Bing. That gives you a simple way to notify search engines that you are aware of the missing files.

The .htaccess file is found at the root directory of your domain normally. It is not a good idea to edit that file until you have a good understanding of what rules should be there and how to use the right syntax for your version of Apache. The little section for WordPress is added automatically when WordPress is installed on your domain. Some plugins might also add their own little sections to htaccess also but you should learn to use WordPress without relying on more plugins than you really need. Some plugins can make your site vulnerable, so always check out a plugin before relying on it and don't overload your WordPress with excessive plugins - they don't always play nicely together.

You can check plugins at the WP Vulnerability Database site: [wpvulndb.com...] and when you see the number of reports listed there, you can see why it is not a good idea to add too many plugins.

Well, ###. If I had known there were two posts on the same question, I would not have taken the time to answer the other one. Did they start out in two different subforums?

Same forum, just days apart.
First post was edited (likely to domain or URL). than sat awaiting his response, which apparently was decided to be a 2d thread ;)
