We are having this exact problem, too. So far, we have gone back to WP5.2.4, hoping that the Pure & Simple theme will be fixed soon. If not, we will need to switch themes, too.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

It turns out that there are two blocks of code in the .htaccess: the Wordfence WAF that you refer to, and the following:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I could swear that I had no .htaccess file at all before installing Wordfence, but I may be wrong. In any case, commenting out those lines fixed my problem. I’m not sure where those lines came from or even what they are trying to do.

In any case, my problem is now solved.

Thanks again for your help,

Steve

Just tried the new Jetpack release, and it has the same problem. Still not fixed.

Disabling other plugins had no effect. The problem comes and goes only when we enable and disable JetPack.

We are using Solutions 1.0 by Viva Themes as our theme.
