    Hi,

    I use your plugin for most of my website, and just noticed a lot of 404’s being detected for most of my users. After a long search I found out (using Fiddler web debugger) that it’s caused by a single css file that can’t be loaded.
    It’s the wp-admin/css/farbtastic.css that returns a 404.

    My guess is that this is because .htaccess rules which block access to wp-admin.

    Could you please tell me what to add or change to allow users to load the css files from this folder?

  • We had the same issue. Standard WordPress loads farbtastic.css only for the admin back-end. If blocking /wp-admin in .htaccess (e.g. by using Better WP Security) gives 404’s on wp-admin/css/farbtastic.css, there must be a plugin on the front-end to cause this. One of the plugins known to cause this is Ultimate Landing Page and Coming Soon Page. Do you have that plugin? If so, you should deactivate it when your site is live.

    Thanks for that meelker! I was indeed running the Coming Soon plugin. Deactivated it now, i wasn’t using it anymore anyways.

    Thanks!
