403'd Everything

    Hi
    I just tried this plugin on a site. Everything went well until trying to set it to use specific URLs, the last stage after going through each option during initial set-up, before you can enter the individual urls

    When saving the option to use URLS, the site got locked down completely – All requests (public and admin) got 403’d.

    Was a bit difficult to get back into the site afterwards. Had to completely remove the .htaccess file, delete the plugin from the server. As I couldn’t un-install from WordPress, also had to edit the database to remove the entries

    Not sure why simply editing the htaccess file to remove the plugin’s code wouldn’t fix the problem (maybe an encoding issue?).

    It’s a client site, so I can’t risk further testing unfortunately.

    Keep up the development of this plugin – It’s going to be very useful….

    Was your admin side using HTTPS URL also?

    Admin was using SSL Yes,

    Site had WordPress HTTPS (SSL) https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-https/ installed… so could have been a conflict

    Was having a bit of bother getting SSL to work with with a leadpages embed (doesn’t produce a normal WordPress Post/page-type) with the other plugin Client doesn’t want the whole site using SSL, only some pages

    We have fixed it in v1.1

    Nice work ??

    I am having this exact same problem. I have the latest version of this plugin installed and after enabling the options I get a 403 error on all pages including WP-Admin. I did have WordPress HTTPS installed like the last person but I disabled that before doing anything with this. What do I need to edit in .htaccess to turn this plugin off? I have already renamed the plugin directory under wp-content and that did nothing. I am currently locked out of my site.

    By the way, I already removed this code from .htaccess and I still get the 403 errors:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /(.*)\ HTTP/ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]

    </IfModule>

    I followed mikeotgaar’s steps of removing .htaccess, renaming/deleting the plugin directory, and modifying some entries in the database to get back into my WP site. Seems this might still be an issue with the latest version of the plugin.

    what database entries need to be made?

    please upgrade to v1.3, you shouln’t see this issue after that. We have made the htaccess rules more robust. Let me know how you go.
