We are seeing this error in our logs as well. We are on the free version.

Plugin version 2.0.6 fixed my issue. Thanks.

@agungjegstudio I’m not OP, but disabling Gutenverse clears up my error on WP Engine.

I seemed to have traced the trigger of the error to WP Engine’s new proxy in mu-plugins/mu-plugin.php.

function wpe_use_wporg_proxy( $c, $args, $url ) {
// Check if the request is for WordPress updates or plugin/theme information.
if ( strpos( $url, 'api.www.ads-software.com' ) !== false ) {
// Replace the default API URL with the custom proxy URL.
$url = str_replace( 'https://api.www.ads-software.com', 'https://adkfjhd-dkshjd.wpengine.com', $url );
return wp_remote_get( $url, $args );
}
if ( strpos( $url, 'downloads.www.ads-software.com' ) !== false ) {
// Replace the default API URL with the custom proxy URL.
$url = str_replace( 'https://downloads.www.ads-software.com', 'https://dkdkjsdh-cvnvjkke.wpengine.com', $url );
return wp_remote_get( $url, $args );
}
return $c;
}
add_filter( 'pre_http_request', 'wpe_use_wporg_proxy', 10, 3 );

That call may or may not be returning a 404, I’m not sure.

This is also affecting us.

We have the same problem. Rolling back the plugin for now.

This worked for me. Thanks!

This is a big problem for us. Many of our members are grandfathered in at a different price. Please fix this.

@willbeforce, It isn’t clear, but OP’s encoded version is actually the encoded version of the guessable https://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php. The plugin was revealing the hidden path after being passed an encoded guessable path.

@tabrisrp, You might be interested in how iThemes Security is approaching this. They seem to have a combination of actions and filters that are working for them. https://github.com/wp-plugins/better-wp-security/blob/master/core/modules/hide-backend/class-itsec-hide-backend.php

Thanks for the patch. I was having both of those errors. I’d like to see this patch implemented as well.

I took a look at your site and I don’t see comments turned on anywhere. If that’s the case, this plugin isn’t doing anything for you as ?replytocom links only exist within a comment.

In my installs, I set the redirect url as https://localhost. That saves me a page load. If you leave it blank then it will link to the post that the comment is on. I could see myself removing this option in the future.

Ok, could I get you to test version 1.2 for me and ensure it works without errors. Thanks.

One second. Think I’m onto something. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11912233/php-array-syntax-parse-error-left-square-bracket

I’m trying to track this down but I’m not seeing that error message on any of my sites or servers. Any ideas?

I’ve also set 1.0 as the stable version of this plugin until I get this sorted out.

Thanks for the detailed report. Looking into it now.
