I can't see my .htaccess file

By default, cPanel hides hidden (dot files). This means you may not be able to see your .htaccess file when using cPanel's File Manager. 

Step 1: Login to cPanel via the Jolly Leaf Tree House.  

Step 2: Click File Manager under the Files heading. 

Step 3: Click Settings

Step 4: Check the checkbox for Show Hidden Files (dotfiles) and then click Save.
