René here, founder of WP STAGING.
I had to debug a recent issue on one of our users. Once AIOM is activated, WP STAGING does not work anymore because AIOM blocks all of our ajax requests. Disabling AIOS fixed it, so I guess the firewall is involved here.

Our Ajax requests always contain the string action=wpstg_[action-name] and the full blocked request looked like this:

https://www.tc-deckenpfronn.de/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=wpstg_processing&_=1694604934.262

1. What can we implement to prevent this from further happening?
2. Can you whitelist our requests for the future?

We never had this issue before with AIOS.

Thanks
René

I tried deactivating All-In-One Security (AIOS), then everything returned to its place instantly. After that, any plugins were being deleted and installed. Then I turned on AIOS again, but a critical error occurred, and my WordPress admin panel stopped working. This was fixed only by renaming the plugin folder through the hosting panel.

The same thing happened with the Rank Math SEO plugin. When it is disabled, All-In-One Security works fine, and other plugins are deleted and installed. But as soon as they start working together, a critical error occurs.

This error is present even when absolutely all AIOS settings are disabled, and absolutely all Rank Math SEO settings are disabled.

I am using:

• WordPress 6.2
• Rank Math SEO 1.0.111
• All In One WP Security 5.1.7

In the logs, I found such a critical memory exhaustion error:

[08-Apr-2023 16:01:16 UTC] PHP Fatal error:
Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted
(tried to allocate 32768 bytes)
in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/
seo-by-rank-math/vendor/woocommerce/
action-scheduler/classes/abstracts/
ActionScheduler_Lock.php on line 1

Yes, I know that this can be fixed by increasing the memory through adding this line to wp-config.php file:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' );

But unfortunately, my hosting provider does not provide more PHP memory on the current plan. And I would like to fix this in another way.

I see that this error is caused by the WooCommerce Rank Math module, but I am not using WooCommerce. Is there any way to disable this script that causes this critical memory exhaustion error?

Thank you

I have a configuration problem on my production environment.
When the plugin locks a user, it impacts other users. I think this is due to my load balancer.

Is it possible to use the ip address returned by the “X-Forwarded-For” value to lock users?

Thanks in advance

my website forced me to to approve a new registration (manual approvement), but today somebody was able to registrate a new user without manual approvement and he was able to change the password.

How can that be?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Can you please help me to create a complete fresh install so that I can re-enable aiows (without captcha on log-in this time)
