    Some clarification, please. I’m not excly sure where I am with this issue.

    Like others, I updated RS SSL and then all articles got 404 errors. Resetting the Permalinks fixed the problem but only for about 10 minutes, then it was back to 404 errors.

    To make a long story short, I grabbed another RS SSL updated today and also manually updated RS SSL PRO.

    I then resaved my Permalinks. So far so good.

    However, now I have an htaccess file that is stripped down to this:

    #Begin Really Simple Security
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
    </IfModule>

    #End Really Simple Security
    # BEGIN WordPress
    # The directives (lines) between “BEGIN WordPress” and “END WordPress” are
    # dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
    # Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    My old htaccess file had a lot more code although frankly I can’t remember why most of it is in there.

    Am I okay now? During the several RS SSL updates I would revert to 404 errors, then reset the Permalinks, and it would be fine for about 10 minutes. Then back to 404 errors without me doing anything. I’m hoping it is stable now.

  • Hi @moviedebuts,

    The rewrites should now be contained, I haven’t seen any errors on your website for the last 15 minutes.

    We’re figuring this out at our end, could you perhaps post your plugin list, theme and PHP version so we have an idea how to reproduce this issue?

    Thanks for letting us know,
    regards Aert

    From multiple users it’s been confirmed that the latest version fixes the issue, which was caused by a conflict with another plugin which was rewriting at the same time.

    Limiting the conditions for the write has solved the problem. We’re still looking at which plugin or plugins this was/were, but for users the problem should be resolved.

    I’m very sorry for the trouble caused. It never showed up in our tests because we didn’t use the other plugin in those tests. As soon as we know which one it is it will be included in our tests.

    Hope this explains what happened.
