Websites Unreachable After Latest Update
-
Hi team, updated to the latest version (4.3.9.3) of your plugin on a number of websites I manage. When I check if the site loads corrector I get site unreachable 127.0.0.1. I am unable to login to WordPress Admin as site is unreachable. The only way to resolve is to disabled your plugin by renaming the plugin folder name via a FTP program. Thankfully I backup every time I update plugins. I had to revert back to the previous version (4.3.9.2) that works properly. There is definitely something amiss with the latest version of your plugin.

Hi @vbaaccess,
I can’t think of anything in the changes in version 4.3.9.3 which would cause the blocking redirect to 127.0.0.1. The changes made in 4.3.9.3 were purely related to comment captcha functionality and they were literally 2 lines of code.I think you’re probably being blocked via one of the firewall rules for some reason.
Instead of reverting the site back why don’t you try editing the .htaccess file and removing all of the aiowps rules and then attempt to login.After you log in you can resave your firewall settings (which will write the rules back in the .htaccess file) to see if that was the cause.
Another way you can get redirected to 127.0.0.1 is if your IP address is in the “permanent block list”.
In that case instead of editing the .htaccess file you can use PHPMyAdmin to find your IP address in the “aiowps_permanent_block” table and then delete it from the DB table.
