tried version 1.4.3. Still brakes our site in our case. cb

I just updated the Hide Login plugin and it completely broke my site. I rolled back to the previous version and it started back up. Even when i disabled WordFence it did not help. Only disabling the hide login plugin helped.

this was the from the error log

We were, but we just moved to a VPS and it only occurs when im updating the plugin settings.

I did find that after every upgrade the plugin thinks it needs to be installed from scratch.

I have also just found that viewing images directly displays a huge block of code

example – https://blogs.newschool.edu/social-justice/files/2012/08/SJRC_book_covers2-225×300.jpg

I also get this message when updating a setting.

“Settings Saved. You will have to manually add rewrite rules to your configuration. See the Better WP Security Dashboard for a list of the rewrite rules you will need.”

Hi Bit51,

I am having issues with the plugin turning off all images when the plugin is active.
I disabled the “filter suspicious query strings” and the “long urls option” which has had no effect.

Its all images, not just the thumnails.

Disabling the plugin entirely fixes the problem, but I would not want to do that. This is only an issue with this version of the plugin.

That would be great.

I also just found that it re-activated itself today. Is there anyway I can remove any reference to awaymode as a precaution.

Now that I know where to go in the DB I can at least turn it off, but I did find that I have to re-set it in the secure.php and the DB to regain access.

what I found is that for WP multi-sites the place to look is

wp_1_options (if you have not modified the DB table names)

I have also found that this feature works for a while and then resets itself to being active but running 24 hours, which locks everyone out of the site.

I could modify the bwps_awaymode in the plugin >>secure.php by changing the 1’s to 0’s but this only gave me access to the child blogs not the blog network admin area.

So for right now I have deactivated this feature. When it was working it was great… then it stopped.

The away functionality has caught me up twice now. And following the directions to deactivate via the database are unclear.

Where does bwps_awaymode reside in the DB?

The only 2 references to bwps are “lockouts” and “logs” and I do not have a “wp_options”

its the most up to date version and I get this message when using the above URL string

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

Yeah, we actually rolled back a day in our DB and a lot of our problems were gone. And the bits that were missing in the DB were no longer missing.

We think it the action taken by Better WP Security when it re-wrote the prefix on out database away from wp_

We are not using any management/role plugins. Disabling all plugins and going back to the default theme was one of the first things I tried.

So I looked at the data for 28_user_roles (the blog that was acting up) and it was empty and went to 26 user roles and copied the data from there and added it to 28. It seemed to have fixed it.

I will be going through all the other child blogs to check there status as well.

Thanks for your assistance in this Ipstenu. thx cb

Yeah, we started life as a WPMU back before the merge.

And I have tried all of these suggestions – https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/11725/help-why-my-roles-are-not-showing-multi-site-network

none worked.

Great, that helped but the link you posted was a bit wrong.

Use this instead

But you response got me to where i needed to be. Thanks
