Links get filled with /null (mass 404 errors in log)

  • Hello,

    after your latest Update most of the blog links (Articles, Attachments, inline links etc.) get defined with “/null” at the end of an url / link.

    I’ve recognized this in the 404 error log from iThemes Security, it directly starts after I’ve updated your plugin to the latest version.

    For visitors everyrthing might be fine, because all links are working but behind the scenes every client is creating (not visible) */null links and I had to whitelist */null otherwise Guests / Visitors could be banned because of too many 404 errors (iThemes security feature).

    Please fix this, thank you.

    Can you show me an example of this happening? This is the only report I’ve received about this.

    The logs are purged but I can make an example:

    When your blog url would be https://www.example.com it was like:

    404 error log:
    example.com/null
    example.com/2015/blogpost1/null
    example.com/2015/blogpost2/null
    example.com/site1/null
    example.com/site1/null
    etc

    That */null thingy starts after your plugin was updated over the dashboard and for almost 6 hours every visitor was producing 404 errors in the background while every link on the frontend was working (weird). But now everything is normal, no */null anymore. Maybe it was temporary because I didn’t change anything.
