Stuck with question on every admin page

Check your log files – ie, the AIOWPS log file and your server log files.

Let us know if you see any logs which shed light on the behaviour you are seeing.

This is all that’s in the AIO logs. The server log has nothing related to htaccess. I’ve deleted and installed AIO a few times to see if the message would go away, but no luck.

I notice these log files are publicly readable on the net. This seems like a security problem. What is the recommended permission setting for the logs directory?

======== logs: =============

[01/12/2015 2:36 AM] – FAILURE : AIOWPSecurity_Installer::run_installer() – Update of option settings failed upon plugin activation!

AND

[01/12/2015 2:36 AM] – SUCCESS : Cronjob_Handler – Hourly cron handler got fired.
[01/12/2015 2:36 AM] – SUCCESS : Cronjob_Handler – Daily cron handler got fired.
[01/12/2015 2:36 AM] – SUCCESS : DB Cleanup – checking if a cleanup needs to be done now…

@parisology is your issue resolved?

No the message is still there. The only way to get rid of it is to disable the AIO plugin.

Do you have a cache plugin? Have you tried a different theme like one of WordPress default themes?

Did you deactivated all your plugins except this one to see if the message disappears?

Can you log into PHPMyAdmin and go to the wordpress “options” table and look for an entry where:
option_name = aiowps_temp_configs

If you find such an entry, can you check what is contained in the “option_value” column? Do you see any configuration data?

I tried the twentyfifteen theme no change. The plugins don’t seem to have any effect.

aiowps_temp_configs starts with:

a:67:{s:36:”aiowps_remove_wp_generator_meta_info”;…

There are a lot of settings in there. I don’t know if I should post the whole text due to security, there is a secret key, and email address and don’t know what else. Is there a specific setting you need?

Also when I click yes (to re-insert) this message appears (as well as the problem message).
“The AIOWPS .htaccess rules were successfully re-inserted.”

I assume this is referring to .htaccess in the root of the site? Mine is set to 0644 permissions.

The problem was that the database user didn’t have DELETE privilege on the WP database. Granting delete fixed a lot of issues I was having.
