Allowing ' and . in Events Manager's searches

Can this thread be resolved? If so, please resolve this thread. Thanks.

So the modifications would be update-safe, but would need to be redone always after recreating a secure .htaccess file?

Resolving the issue since that would be an acceptable workaround while waiting for a plugin option to enable/disable core filters when recreating the secure .htaccess files.

Yes, if you use AutoMagic again then the standard BPS security filters/rules would be created again.

We have been looking at and testing the best way to handle this type of scenario. Creating separate options is not a good solution, but what is a good solution is to create another Custom Code text area for the entire Section of # BPSQSE BPS QUERY STRING EXPLOITS code. This will be added in the next version of BPS.

Sounds great!

BPS has gotten an overhaul in the custom code section after we last spoke about this. Is there now a way to allow ' in searches in a way that’s both update-safe and survives the recreation of the secure .htaccess file?

You would copy the entire BPS Query String Exploits block of code from the root .htaccess file to Custom Code and edit/modify it or you can copy and paste the BPS Query String Exploits code in this link below to Custom Code, which has already been edited/modified to allow the single quote code character in strings.

That worked. Thank you!
