I tried contacting iThemes via Twitter and they told me to email them. I did so (10 days ago) but haven’t had a response yet. I’m still not clear on whether iThemes officially support this plugin or not…

First off, thanks to the authors for an excellent plugin!

I’ve been having this problem too, using Version 3.6.3 on WP 3.7.

The .htaccess file seems to get left half-written, so it’s cut off mid-section and Apache complains it’s invalid. The most recent time, the full WPBS content was there, but the standard WordPress rewrite rules and other custom content were missing.

It seems to happen particularly when someone’s been repeated IP blocked from bad logins (which I presume causes the .htaccess to be re-written more frequently).

This is a pretty serious issue as it causes the site to be completely non-functional. I’m keen to keep using WPBS but will have to find an alternative if I can’t find a solution to this problem. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I checked the setting. WP Better Security is reporting “You are allowing users to edit theme and plugin files from the WordPress backend.” and still no extra menu items for EWWW.

Also tried updating, no change.

I installed the custom version you provided, and the menu items have appeared! “BuddyPress Optimize” under Media, “Optimize” under Themes, and “Optimize More” under Tools.

Thanks!

I’m logged in as the main site administrator account. No customisation of user roles as far as I know.

In the Appearance menu, I have Themes, Widgets, Customize, Menus and Theme Test Drive.

The only thing I can think of which could be interfering with edit_themes is that we run the Better WP Security plugin with the option “Turn off file editor in WordPress Back-end” to disable in-dashboard theme file edits. But I’ve just tried disabling that option and it didn’t make the EWWW menu items appear.

Should I update to 1.7.2?

No, I’m not.

Hi,

+1 for thanks on creating such a useful plugin ??

I’m also having the issue that no “Optimize More” menu appears under Tools. I also don’t see the Buddypress menu I think should be there since I have BuddyPress installed.

I just upgraded to v1.7.1 (on WP 3.7) and I still see the “Bulk Optimize” menu under “Media” and the usual EWWW plugin settings page under “Settings” but no other admin menu items.

I’ve tried disabling and re-enabling the plugin. I haven’t tried deleting and re-installing the plugin yet, thought I’d check here first.

Any help appreciated! Thanks.
