Additional Firewall Rules – Rules applied from plugin but not reflecting on app

Hi,

I wonder if this plugin can conflict with others and that is why it is not working properly on my side or there might be some sort of a bug in the software itself?

Yes, there are times that different plugins, theme and or server settings can conflict with AIOWPS plugin.

Thank you.

Thanks, but is there any way I can verify whether it is clash with other software or simply a bug within a plugin?

Hi, yes you can start by carrying out the following steps. First disable all other plugins except AIOWPS. Then carry out a test. If it works then you can assume there is a conflict with one of the plugins you deactivated. If it does not work, then it could be related to your server’s configuration.

Kind regards.

Thanks,

Tried the first part already and it seems that this did not resulted in any improvement which would suggest the latter. I had an infrastructure engineer looking specifically at the Apache config to see whether there is anything which would interfere with this plugin but they have not called out anything specifically.

Any idea what on server configuration side could be an issue?

Thanks

Hi, who is your host? Can you share some information about your server specs?

Thank you.

Yes sure,

So solution is hosted internally and this is server spec:

Thank you for sharing the information above. It all looks normal to me. I can’t see anything out of the ordinary. However I don’t have this issue in my site and no one else has reported this issue. This might be just be an isolated issue with your server and site configuration. Unfortunately there is not much more I can do to help you. For now, I recommend you don’t activate the features causing a conflict in your site.

Kind regards.
