I know the question is closed, but make sure you keep a backup of any .htaccess file and keep it handy.<br />
<br />
Sometimes .htaccess files are hidden and sometimes they could be overwritten. <br />
<br />
And by having a backup of your .htaccess file from your old live site, it can help you or your hosting company fix any unexpected issues related to the &quot;wrong&quot; .htaccess file being made live on the site.<br />

Dear Experts,<br />
<br />
Our website needs to be redone because a component doesn't work like it should. I probably have to set up joomla! again to clean up this mess.<br />
<br />
My problem is now, that we don't seem to have a local copy for our current custom-made template. Is there any way how I can download the current active template?<br />
<br />
Thank you for all your answers!

Joomla is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. It is built on a model–view–controller web application framework that can be used independently of the CMS. Written in PHP, Joomla uses object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques and software design patterns, stores data in a MySQL, MS SQL  or PostgreSQL database, and includes features such as page caching, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, search, and support for language internationalization.

Content management (CM) is a set of processes and technologies that supports the collection, managing, and publishing of information in any form or medium. When stored and accessed via computers, this information may be more specifically referred to as digital content, or simply as content. Digital content may take the form of text (such as electronic documents), multimedia files (such as audio or video files), or any other file type that follows a content lifecycle requiring management.

Content Management

A web-based content management system (CMS) provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools that enables users with little knowledge or experience to create and manage website content. Most CMS systems use a content repository or a database to store page content, metadata, and other information assets, and a presentation component that displays the content to website visitors.
