Backup your existing wp-config.php and .htaccess files, unless this is a fresh install and you have nothing to lose.

1. Add the specified lines to your wp-config.php file.

2. Add the specified lines to your .htaccess file.

If you do not have a .htaccess file, then create it in the same directory as your wp-config.php file. If you already have a .htaccess file, replace any existing WP lines with these new ones. In some cases you might also have to add Options FollowSymlinks at the start of the file.

3. After completing these steps, log in again using the link provided.
