Today  i was helping my friend to fix an issue. In order to fix it i had to edit .htaccess file which is hidden in Cpanel. Luckily i know how to view hidden files but there is another problem.Before telling the problem let me show you a step by step procedure on how to view hidden files in cpanel

Procedure

Step 1

Login into your cpanel and click on file manager

Step 2

Tick the check box beside Show Hidden Files (dot files) from the pop up window and click GO

Problem

When you click on file manager a pop up window appears there will be two check boxes

1 . Show hidden files

2 . Skip this question, and always open this directory in the future when opening File Manager.

Now if a user ticks the second check box while opening file manager then the pop window doesn’t appear from next time. My friend did the same so i need to  find another way to view hidden files. I Google for the solution for few minutes but dint find any and i decided to reset the settings . After searching the whole page i found a link [ reset all interface settings ] at the footer

Now after resetting pop up window will appear when ever we click on file manager

Hope it helped .Would love to hear from you all about the article
