I’m sorry I’ve checked a second time and realized that I’m running Apache behind Hiawatha and not Nginx. I don’t know if that make a different.

I am not sure where to add it in wp-config.php. So I added at the end. I’ve tried both and it didn’t work.

Server|Website IP Address: 127.0.0.1
Host by Address: localhost
DNS Name Server: ns1.mydomain.com
Proxy X-Forwarded-For IP Address: xx.xxx.xxx.xxx <==(my home ip address)

Not sure if this help. I am running Apache behind Nginx.

No this is not on my computer. It is a VPS.

Here’s the system info you’ve asked.

Server Type: Apache/2.4.25 (Red Hat)
Operating System: Linux
WP Filesystem API Method: direct
Server API: fpm-fcgi CGI Host Server Type
Apache Modules|Directives|Backward Compatibility(Yes|No)|IfModule(Yes|No): View Visual Test
403: mod_access_compat is Loaded|Order, Allow, Deny directives are supported|IfModule: Yes
403: mod_authz_core is Loaded|Order, Allow, Deny directives are supported|BC: Yes|IfModule: Yes
403: mod_authz_host is Loaded|Order, Allow, Deny directives are supported|BC: Yes|IfModule: Yes
200: mod_rewrite Module is Loaded

So I just did another test on another website on the same server. And it did the same thing but a big change.

When I click “Preview” or access /wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess/bps-maintenance.php, I got this.

mydomain.com 403 Forbidden Error Page

If you arrived here due to a search or clicking on a link click your Browser's back button to return to the previous page. Thank you.

I don’t understand what you meant by this:

Do these troubleshooting things next:
Go to the BPS System Info and copy and paste this system info about your site/server.

Server Type: Apache
Operating System: Linux
WP Filesystem API Method: direct
Server API: cgi-fcgi CGI Host Server Type
Apache Modules|Directives|Backward Compatibility(Yes|No)|IfModule(Yes|No): View Visual Test

403: mod_authz_host is Loaded|Order, Allow, Deny directives are supported|BC: Yes|IfModule: Yes
200: mod_rewrite Module is Loaded

I don’t have any other plugin install as this is a newly built website.

It’s a Free version.

It’s a single WordPress type.

Yes, I checked my ip to make sure. It is correct with the one in Whitelist Text Box.

The 403 is standard/generic host server 403 error page.

I also get standard/generic 403 when access /wp-content/plugins/bulletproof-security/admin/htaccess/bps-maintenance.php

I’ve just noticed with above code the responsive menu no longer work. When tapped on menu it doesn’t opened up. Maybe I will just like dashicons on, it’s only 30kb.

I don’t know what dequeue means or does. I just simply want to removed dashicons all together. I don’t want to load it. And I noticed that MMM loads it. I don’t mind it show up on the admin.

After adding this code to function it seems like dashicons is not loading anymore.

function megamenu_dequeue_scripts() {
   wp_dequeue_script( 'megamenu' );
   wp_dequeue_script( 'hoverIntent' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'megamenu_dequeue_scripts', 9999 );

function megamenu_dequeue_styles() {
   wp_dequeue_style( 'dashicons' );
}
add_action( 'megamenu_enqueue_public_scripts', 'megamenu_dequeue_styles', 9999 );

But there’s like a second that I see something appeared in replaced of the icon and then disappeared. Is that how it is? Is it possible to get rid of it?

Nevermind, there was a submenu that didn’t hide the icon. After hide that, it no longer load the dashicons. Great plugin, first time using it. It was a little of figuring out but it works great very nice.

I’ve figured it out. Somehow, htaccess was disabled inside the Setup Wizard Options. Enabled it and all is working perfectly.

I also get this message:

htaccess Files Disabled: Root htaccess file writing is disabled.

Thank you for clarifying that for me.

I see this and that’s why I was confused. I thought it was an option.
Advanced users only: Install an object cache. Choose from Memcached, XCache, eAcccelerator and others.

So I finally got think back in ordered. Well, I think 90% at least. Anyway, I was playing around with this a little more and got an extra boost in load time. I got it to dropped about 1 second. I am pretty consistent under 2 seconds now.

I think I don’t know how to use Hyper Cache. I have basic setting on it. Anyway, I ended up deactivated it and deleted it. I installed W3 Total Cache and use with Autoptimize and server is running mod pagespeed.

Tested a page that was consistently at 2.5 seconds to 3.0 and sometimes 3.5 seconds. Now, that exact page is doing under 2 seconds.

For now, I am ok with it. I am too tired to mess around with this for awhile. These few days are painful but is not helping my website progress. I need to finish this project and stop playing with the server. hehehe

Thank you Frank, appreciate your work and your willingness to help.
