Hi,

Thanks for your post.

We use Fastest Cache on some of our websites, but we don’t have any problems with it. But that are all sites without SSL.

Could you send the contents of your .htaccess file to me ([email protected])? Then I can look if there is something Fastest Cache adds to it that conflicts with BFLP.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

To protect against Brute Force Login attacks, my plugin should be sufficient.

For other kinds of protection, it is of course recommended to install other plugins. For example, I really like Akismet to protect against spam comments.

Maybe there’s ‘earlier’ configuration on your Apache webserver. When an Apache server finds an .htaccess file, it needs to know which directives declared in that file can override earlier configuration.
Deny-rules require “AllowOverride Limit” if you wish to use it in a .htaccess context.

See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride or https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html#how

Thanks! ??

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

Are you sure your website is running on an Apache webserver? .htaccess files only work on Apache. You can try if it works by adding your own IP to the .htaccess file, and check if you can reach your website.

Hi,

It indeed only works with Apache.

Hi Chris,

Maybe the .htaccess file belongs to a different owner then the PHP process?
You can try to chown (change owner) of the .htaccess file to the user on which PHP is running (or ask your host to do that).

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

Are the two sites hosted on different hosts? Because permissions are different from host to host.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

WordPress 4.3 is indeed very new, and I haven’t had time to test the plugin with 4.3. But when I see the changelog of 4.3, I think this plugin is completely compatible and safe to install on WordPress 4.3.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

I think that’s a great idea. I will implement it in a next version.

JP

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

I’ve heard someone with that problem earlier, but I have no idea why that is happening.

I will look at it and fix it in a next version.

JP

Hi,

Thanks for your post. I will take a look at it, and include a fix in the next version.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

Do you use a CDN (eg. cloudflare)? There are some problems when using the plugin on a site that uses a CDN, I am looking for a solution and will include a fix in the next version.

Hi,

Thanks for your post.

This cannot be done with the current version, but I am planning to add wildcard support in a future version.
