Protecting the wp-content folder with an .htaccess file prevents the Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu plugin from working:

06. Prevent Access To wp-content

Order deny,allow
Deny from all
<Files ~ “.(xml|css|jpe?g|png|gif|js)$”>
Allow from all
</Files>

Removing this code enabled the plugin to work properly. Is there a modification to the .htaccess code to allow the plugin to work?

I’m running WordPress 4.0 and now plugin version 3.6.9. Tested on a third Windows 7 computer which has never been used for accessing this website. Problem still occurs.

Not sure where the PEBKAC is when hardly anything is running.

Thanks for your prompt response.

The problem seems to be a conflict with s2Member and W3 Total Cache. If I deactivate W3 Total Cache, the problem goes away.

Has this conflict been reported before?

The problem appears to have been fixed. There was no one clear culprit. There was some kind of timeout occurring between my websites and CloudFlare and that caused the error messages.

The problem cleared up for me and wavesoftech after CloudFlare fixed an issue with IPv6 connectivity to https://www.cloudflare.com but they were not sure that was the root of the problem.

Nevertheless, I no longer have the error messages and I can change my settings in W3 Total Cache without getting error messages.

Only certain hosts were affected by this so this must have been a bad combination of specific host configurations with CloudFlare.

I have the same problem. I cannot change security (always set to Essentially Off), Development Mode (always set to Off) and Rocket Loader (always set to Off). I am currently in discussions with CloudFlare support.

I have one site on another host and I do not see those problems. I can change security and development mode so I am thinking it is my primary host that has the issue.

So far, CloudFlare tech support had me run a line of code on my server that used my e-mail address and API key and send them the output.

I just tried to update another WordPress installation on a different domain, same host. This time, I deactivated all of the plugins before uploading the 2.7.1 files.

I then ran upgrade.php and I got the same blank screen.

I never had the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin.

Once again, I had to downgrade to 2.7 so that I could see the list of plugins.

I never had the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin on my server at all.

I downgraded to 2.7 and all was well. Sheesh.

My attempt to auto update gives me a message that it’s downloading the 2.7.1.zip and it sits there for several minutes. The word “Done” shows up at the bottom of the browser (Firefox 3.0.6) immediately.

I wound up updating manually.

My DNS records are set up per Google Apps. I’ve checked them carefully and I’m not having problems with the e-mail accounts themselves.

I just found out that I have had this problem for several months!

I stuff the admin e-mail address field of Cforms 10.2 with 3 e-mail addresses that have 3 different domains all controlled by Google Apps and none of the accounts get it.

However, my Gmail account does get the admin notification. That’s the only workaround I know of, which is not good.

I tried setting up an external SMTP using a Google Apps account (smtp.gmail.com, SSL, port 465, SMTP authentication), but when I click the Submit button, the form just hangs.
