@taketheleap did you find anything further regards this issue?

I am still trying to figure this one out.

Cheers

I’ve also done some further investigation myself with some help from the good guys at Web hosting talk and have narrowed it down a little.

Something is creating internal redirect loop. Usually it is a combination of
mod_rewrite rules, .htaccess & sometimes auth headers or location headers produced by php / cgi script.

So it may not be caused by the plugin’s .htaccess rules alone but more likely conflicts between it’s rules and other scenarios.

I don’t imagine it’s a basic case of ithemes .htaccess rules conflicting with WordPress permalink .htaccess rules otherwise this issue would be more common. But then again these are the only rules I have in my htaccess files.

So I am still stumped.

I’m also using Bones and LESS for the first time as well.

Your Less syntax does not look correct. A @variable should equal #fff and then u refer to it later on with @variable.

I think a LESS file will usually compile into a CSS file of the same name unless u specifically have LESS files imported into a certain CSS file like the way Bones does.

I am wondering about the CSS grid that Bones uses, seems to be bootstrap stripped right down with no push and pull type classes unless I am missing something.

OK

The theme dev got back to me. To resolve this issue you have to edit the file “shortcode_generator.php” inside theme/plugins directory.

update

I have double checked and it really is just an issue with the theme I am using, nothing to do with the “better WP security” Plugin which really is a great plugin.

It seems that the theme developer has prevented access to the File editor for any user with less permission than an Admin. This is great however it also prevents access to “Add new post” to all users except admin.

No idea why the developer would have done this as it prevents normal use of WordPress. I have asked the theme dev, so wait and see what they come back with.

Hi

Just activated a different theme and the same issue did not arise. Reactivated the original theme and problem persists. Nice little clue there but still searching for the solution.
