Plugin rewriting htacess file causes 500 Internal Server Error

    I’m running WP 3.9, plugin 4.0.23, on an Apache Linux server. Since I upgraded, saving any setting or doing anything else with the plugin rewrites the htaccess file and renders the blog unreachable. However, deleting the htaccess file brings it back. I talked with my webhost, and they said the htaccess file was giving them the following errors:

    [Thu Apr 17 10:53:13 2014] [alert] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
/hsphere/local/home/username/blog.username.com/.htaccess:
RewriteCond: cannot compile regular expression
'^.*(request|select(?!ed)|concat|insert|union|declare).*'\n
[Thu Apr 17 10:53:13 2014] [alert] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
/hsphere/local/home/username/blog.username.com/.htaccess:
RewriteCond: cannot compile regular expression
'^.*(request|select(?!ed)|concat|insert|union|declare).*'\n
[Thu Apr 17 10:53:13 2014] [alert] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
/hsphere/local/home/username/blog.username.com/.htaccess:
RewriteCond: cannot compile regular expression
'^.*(request|select(?!ed)|concat|insert|union|declare).*'\n

    Please advise?

    We will have an update later this afternoon to address this. The issue had been due to a fix other users were experiencing. The new fix will remove the line altogether.

    If you would like to test the fix (this is a BETA link so please don’t do so on a production site) a few hours early you can use this:

    Glad to hear it’s being updated so quickly. I can’t use the beta (don’t have a non-production site), but once the full update goes live, I’ll install it and test it, and let you know in this thread if there’s still a problem. Thanks!
