Guest mode issue

define(‘LSCWP_DIR’, ‘/all-my-folders/wp-content/ajouts/litespeed-cache/’);

Did you add this code?

Hi serpentdriver,

No … The right one. Litespeed plugin does the work.
As a matter of fact, it does not come from this. Problem is between keyboard and seat.

I just notice it comes from lines in htaccess, in order to protect access to php files:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteRule wp-content/ajouts/(.*\.php)$ - [R=404,L]

So I tried to add, previous this line (even if order is not important), this code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-content/ajouts/litespeed-cache/guest.vary\.php$

In order to exclude guest.vary.php

But It does not work.

I’m quite sure it comes from this. If you have an idea …
Thanks !

Please undo (remove) this code:

define(‘LSCWP_DIR’, ‘/all-my-folders/wp-content/ajouts/litespeed-cache/’);

Constant LSCWP_DIR is already defined. A constant can’t be overwritten by another constant for LSCWP_DIR.

And also remove this code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-content/ajouts/litespeed-cache/guest.vary\.php$

To be more precise, this configuration of LSCWP_DIR comes from this topic (I’ve tried guest mode for long time ago…):
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/404-error-with-guest-vary-php/

Well, I removed it, and I commented all this block:

# bloque  l'accès aux fichiers .php des dossiers theme et plugins 
# exclusion de fichier et répertoire sur les 2 premières lignes : 
#<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-content/ajouts/litespeed-cache/guest\.vary\.php
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-content/plugins/directory/to/exclude/
#RewriteRule wp-content/ajouts/(.*\.php)$ - [R=404,L]
#</IfModule>

I purged all, ans same result:
POST https://lesbijouxdelhermine.fr/wp-content/ajouts/litespeed-cache/guest.vary.php 404
and
Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘<‘, “<!DOCTYPE “… is not valid JSON

It is indicated in the gui of the litespeed plugin that htaccess is modified when guest mode is activated.
What line(s) are added?

I use 7G FIREWALL from https://perishablepress.com/7g-firewall/
which adds some rules to htaccess in order to secure the website.

I commented the only line which contains “guest” (and replace the same without “guest”:

#	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/%7e)(root|ftp|bin|nobody|named|guest|logs|sshd)(/) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/%7e)(root|ftp|bin|nobody|named|logs|sshd)(/) [NC,OR]
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

I’m going to make a test with an htaccess without 7G firewall.

I deleted all lines of 7G Firewall, same result: guest.vary.php in error 404 , while it exists.

Could the method used be the cause of the problem (POST vs GET)?

It is indicated in the gui of the litespeed plugin that htaccess is modified when guest mode is activated.

Cache plugin only adds rewrite rules for cache vary. This rule has no influence in your issue.

A 404 error means that the requested source could not be found at the specified URL. You’ve made some custom modifications to your server that can’t be reproduced from the outside, so finding the cause can only be solved by yourself.

Hi serpentdriver,

You’re right …. as usual …!

I finally found the problem: an htaccess that was a little too “tight”. So now I can test the guest mode… and perhaps having some questions …

Thanks for your support ! We are sometimes alone, but supported. That’s important.

Best regards
