I have found the error myself. For some unexpected reason, permissions to the .htaccess file were changed to 444. Got this fixed up and all is well again.
any luck finding the issue yet? I’m going to have to ask for a refund and choose a new theme if I cant get this running by tonight.
currently at 5.4.24
I get this error every time I try to respond privately ERROR: Your reply cannot be empty.
Please take the http off of the ftp address and then it will work.
