Update to 5.4.2 and the slide show acts weird.

You probably also updated or installed or reconfigured another plugin that ‘increases sucurity’ by making ../wp-content/plugins/wp-photo-album-pls/wppa-ajax-front.php unaccessable for http requests.

Unfortunately you did not enable the debug switch as asked here so i can not investigate further.

Search for any .htaccess file ( most likely in wp-content or in plugins ) that denies http access to .php files and correct it.

If you do not want that, stop using ajax by uncheckiing Table IV-A1.

Thank you for the response.
Sorry that the debug wasn’t turned on because I wasn’t aware of that option on the IX-A3 table. Just turned it ON now.

Furthermore, I have looked for the .htaccess file and found 1 in the root, which contained the following:
# BEGIN s2Member GZIP exclusions
<IfModule rewrite_module>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?|&)s2member_file_download\=.+ [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|\?|&)no-gzip\=1
RewriteRule .* – [E=no-gzip:1]
</IfModule>
# END s2Member GZIP exclusions

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteRule ^(index\.php|wp-content/repair\.php|wp-comments-post\.php|wp-includes/js/tinymce/wp-tinymce\.php|xmlrpc\.php|wp-login\.php|index\.php|wp-admin/)(.*) $1$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php$ /nothing_404_404 [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

When I disabled the IV-A1 ==> the image didn’t show up
enabled the IV-A1.1 ==> same affect.

How can I find out which plugin has affected?
Thanks.

I am not an expert in .htaccess files, but at least you can temporary disable this one by changing the name using an ftp program. In any case this .htaccess file is not a standard wp one, so it is worth looking at the plugin that made it, if there is a setting to prevent hiding the ajax php files.

I tried to find the plugin that is in folder hide-my-wp ( because i suspected this one ) but i could not find it in the wp plugins database.

Thanks,
I have checked the plugin you’ve mentioned above and can’t not find any .htaccess file in its folder. It probably didn’t have it. Beside, I didn’t turn it on, it was activated but the option to hide is not turn on yet. So this won’t be the case. I also checked all plugins I have for that file, but can’t find any, except the one in the root which is from the WordPress itself; so I’m not sure about turn this one off.

I deactivate the Hide-my-WP (old plugin), but the results are not getting better, after flushing the cache few times.

Thank for all your efforts.

Hi,
I turned off the Ajax in IV-A1 and it seems to work again.
I’m sure that this option is ON before you advice me to turned it off.

Thanks.
