Rules changing in .htaccess

    Hi @te_taipo,

    I’ve been having a problem where a rule I have in .htaccess chnges every time Pareto Security updates the ip list…

    <FilesMatch "^.*(error_log|debug\.log|xmlrpc\.php|wp-config\.php|php\.ini|\.[hH][tT][aApP].*)$">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

    becomes…

    <FilesMatch "^.*(error_log|debug\.log|xmlrpc\.php|wp-config\.php|php\.ini|\.[hH][tT][aApP].*)$">
</FilesMatch>

    I deactivated Pareto Security on one site for two weeks. Every morning I check, and the rule changes on all sites except that one.

    The only other plugin I use that writes to .htaccess is Litespeed Cache. If I update the settings, it creates a new .htaccess file, and the rule doesn’t change when that happens.

    Thanks in advance,
    Sean

    Latest update 2.7.0 should address that issue. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

    Hi @te_taipo,

    This is happening again.

    This time parts of the rewrite and redirect rules I have above the ClassicPress rewrite rules disappear.

    Sure. This…

    # Force SSL
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.oldtownweb\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://oldtownweb.com/$1 [L,R=301]
# END Force SSL

#Block author scans
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^author=([0-9]*)
RewriteRule .* https://oldtownweb.com/? [L,R=301]
# END Block author scans

# Redirect Useless Archives
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$    https://oldtownweb.com/
RedirectMatch 301 ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?page https://oldtownweb.com/
RedirectMatch 301 ^/author/(.*) https://oldtownweb.com/sean-thompson
# END Redirect Useless Archives

    Turns into this…

    # Force SSL
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.oldtownweb\.com [NC]
# END Force SSL

#Block author scans
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^author=([0-9]*)
# END Block author scans

# Redirect Useless Archives
# END Redirect Useless Archives
