Thanks for the response. Debug log showed no errors and verbose logging showed everything imported. I ultimately had to delete the plugin and reinstall/activate, rebuild all the fields to get the DB headers to show up… I say headers because the data would still not populate the list. I went back to the CSV, made sure all the fields were text, then was able to import only 45 of 568 records. I went back to CSV, removed all forward slashes (seemed odd) in the records, then 180 records imported. The last fix was a strange anomaly with one set of quotes (found by viewing the Excel as text). Once fixed the remaining data imported. Seems to be working as expected now. Regards.

Update: I removed that site, something is obviously wrong on the server side, I may have to contact the host. When I changed the WP site URLs, added https and www, it would then simply redirect to ‘not found’. I added a couple pages and when I navigate to them, the URL is full site/directory/index.php/pagename… so permalinks are totally hosed in any subdirectory however work perfectly on the primary domain.
So annoyed.

Yes, PHP 5.2 was running, updated to 5.6 (hope the old site doesn’t blow up while I build the new one! ??

Thanks!

Ok thank you for the response!
This is a GoDaddy server, I have never had this issue on my web host (JustHost).

I’ll reach out and see what can be done!

Regards

Perfect, thanks!

Question, would I add the entire block to Custom Rules (I assume), or just the single line (I don’t imagine this will work without the declaration).

Thanks again for all the assistance, it’s most appreciated!

Hi Ceslav,

No, visiting the site.com/subfolder does not block the images (although the nav buttons still won’t work due to the other settings I mentioned).

I do not believe I’d be able to serve my main site from a sub directory, based on how it is currently configured. I can ask them, but I think it would require a dedicated hosting setup, rather than shared, and that is cost prohibitive at the moment.

I do understand what the htaccess file is doing, hence my question about modifying it to exclude specific sites/directories… and yes, I get that the ‘hot link’ setting is doing its job, but I would think that, even though it is writing to the root htaccess, it would overlook any sites (or files) in sub directories that were tied to their own sub-domains/domains (eg: kenasplund.joere.com > kenasplund.com). But I suppose that may be too much to ask for, due to overarching complexities in hosting configurations.

Another thing though, if the sub folder contains a WP install, and it uses the AIOWPS plugin, the root setup does NOT affect that site (which I suppose makes sense because each of those has it’s own htaccess, where the non WP site does not). I wonder if adding an htaccess to the sub dir of the non WP sitew would make a difference?

I was sure I used a 301 redirect for the oneparthuman.net domain, but I will confirm that is the case.

So thank you for your help with this, I’ll leave it as is for now and investigate further with the host.

BTW, not sure if you are affiliated with the dev of this plug in, but it is generally excellent, far better than what I was using previously, which actually was ‘choking’ the server and causing pages to load unacceptably slow, or not at all!

Thanks again, cheers!

Hello,

I have a root (primary) domain: https://www.joere.com
Within that root resides the primary site (joere.com), as well as a number of subfolders which contain different site roots for other hosted domains (this is a shared hosting environment).

Most of the sub directories contain WP sites, but one particular does not: https://www.kenasplund.com – this is simply a graphic that launches an image viewer.

When ‘disable hot linking’ is enabled, the images for this particular site will not load. Once I disable it, they will

Also, it may be worth mentioning that the image viewer used on this site (high-slide, written in jscript, I believe), won’t show the navigation buttons if ‘deny bad query strings’ and ‘advanced character string filter’ are enabled… the arrow keys will work and the images are there, but NOT the buttons or arrows of the high-slide nav. So it was necessary to deselect those firewall options for this particular site to function.

In another occurrence on a different (WP) site (same server), I have a domain redirect setup (server side) from https://www.oneparthuman.net to https://www.ophmusic.com. If ‘disable hot linking’ is enabled, the images will not load when the site comes up as *.net, but only when it reloads as *.com.

The server is Apache, PHP 5.6, shared hosting.

Let me know if you need more info, or if I have not explained the scenario clearly enough.

Thank you!

The only entries that I found in the error log at all related to AIOWPS are dated from March, and they were errors that have since been remedied – hidden login feature malfunctioned because entries from a previous security plugin still existed in the htaccess file.
Otherwise, there is nothing obvious, or even dated near when I was experiencing these recent ‘anomalies’.
In fact, the non-wp site that I host that experienced the image breaks was not listed in the error log at all.
This is very strange.

Anything specific I should be looking for?

Actually, sorry, yes, it affects different themes, and not only WP installs but it broke links to a non WP site in another directory (located in the primary site root).

This is why I asked if there was a way to simply mod htaccess to specify which sites are (or are not) affected.

Thanks.

I believe it’s happening in two different times but I will confirm this week.

Thank you.

Hi,

Never mind, opened the htaccess and removed many lines from the previous security plugin! Apparently disabling and deleting the plugin did not clear the entries from htaccess… I Should have realized and cleaned this up first.

Thank you anyway!

Anyone?

Yes, I always set up staging for a site build, and then, once complete and approved, move the site to its actual home, and then set the client logins and such so they can update pages via the CMS (with a little explanation).

This client wants the staged site to always be available, to enable someone on their team to update the staged site, and only when all the changes approved, can they be pushed to the main site…. is this something the plugin you mention can do? I will also look into it tomorrow at some point.

Thanks for the info!

Regards
