Blue Lotus Works

After testing BackuPs login redirect change for htaccess, we need to retract our +1. We got locked out of our WPMS test site admin area with remote login and admin redirect on and off. We resolved our not_found issue as follows:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site1.tld/wp-admin
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site1.tld/wp-login\.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site1.tld/my-hidden-login
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site1.tld/my-hidden-admin
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site1.tld/my-hidden-register-new-user
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site2.tld/wp-admin
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site2.tld/wp-login\.php
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site2.tld/my-hidden-login
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site2.tld/my-hidden-admin
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^(.*)site2.tld/my-hidden-register-new-user
etcetera

While this could mean a lengthy htaccess for large wpms installs, perhaps the domains data should be referenced?

+one on BackuPs login redirect change for htaccess. We’ve just been tolerating the not_found page and getting back to admin area via the admin bar. Unless there is some issue we’re missing, maybe make that change for all installs so a conditional doesn’t need to be added?

For Nginx compatibility in relation to identifying the correct IP for 404 errors and login lockouts, we suggest inc/class-bit51-bwps-utilities.php rows 136-149 be further modified to look for the X-Real-Ip header, then the X-Forwarded-For header, then the REMOTE_ADDR.

It would be great if you would patch the 3.5.6 version for this and push to 3.5.7. For now, we replaced all instances of X-Forwarded-For in the inc/secure.php file with X-Real-Ip (rows 483-496) to resolve our issue. php is not our strength (but we’re working on it and nested if statements are something we still screw up), so we’re not going to push a patch to you but will be happy to test one.

Re: LanauzeDesigns.com comment, it may not be a memory problem at all. If your site has a lot of plugins, themes and media, the file change data sent to MySQL may exceed the default 1MB packet size. If you have access to your error logs, look for a message like “WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query INSERT INTO wp_t2uqew_options” or “WordPress database error MySQL server has gone away for query INSERT INTO wp_t2uqew_bwps_log“. That’s a likely indicator of a packet size limit that needs to be increased.

For VPS and dedicated server hosting you can likely make a change. For shared hosting, it doesn’t hurt to ask.

Thanks for releasing the hack Jose. We tried several combinations and still couldn’t get it to work related to what we are trying to achieve. Regrettably, we need to use another solution for now, but will keep an eye out for your next official release.

Thanks much!

Can we add a request for an rss url and icon?

More information on creating a child theme for theron lite is found at https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/theron-lite-child-theme-help-please-using-localhost which should resolve child theme creation issues for version 2.0

You should also copy the contents of “images” folder from parent to child too. We experienced several image file 404s (too many to bother with selectively copying the files that needed to be copied). Probably, the most important one to copy though is checkbox.png.

This thread might have the fix you need: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/aam-complete-uninstall-reset-to-defaults

We’re running it on a fresh 3.6 MU install without issue other than some 404s due to missing image files (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/bug-report-404-errors-due-to-missing-png-files?replies=2)

You might try checking the support forum at https://whimba.org/support#viewforum.php?f=3. There’s a specific topic on this issue at https://whimba.org/support#viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6

P.S. Not that this happened in your case, but because of the changes/additions made to a site’s database tables, this is definitely a plugin that should be uninstalled via the plugin manager, not by simply deleting the plugin’s folder.

We just checked out v1.3.5. Verified by code review and install. Issue resolved. Thanks!

And, thanks for the info on AAM! I’ll resolve that too with reference to your note here.

Per plugin author, bug will be resolved in version 2.0. See https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/bug-report-404-errors-due-to-missing-jpg-files?replies=4

If clearing the 404 errors is important to a user prior to the 2.0 release, we suggest commenting out the lines noted above.

Excellent! We’ll check it out when released and then mark this topic resolved.

P.S. We saw a similar issue on AAM and posted a support thread there…in case you missed it.
