That did the job. Thank you very much.

Thank you. That worked perfectly, except…

<link rel='stylesheet' id='dashicons-css' href='/wp-includes/css/dashicons.min.css' media='all' />

is still loading.

OK, I made these changes to the form on my site. Just like the test site, the form submits (I get the email and the submission is entered into the database) still no success message. I included…

function success_message() {
    
    if (isset($_GET['success'])) {
    
    echo '<p class="success">Thanks for contacting me. Expect a response soon.</p>';
    
    }
    
}

in the plugin and…

<?php success_message(); ?>

above the form in the footer template. Works when cache is disabled, not with cache activated.

Yes, It works the same as every other page when the cache is disabled.

I’m not using a plugin. The form action is in the footer template above the form.

I moved the action for the form to a plugin and to use admin-post.php on my test site. The form submits, however the success message that still relies on the redirect doesn’t show. I’m going to make the same change on this site as well, so if someone fills out the form, at least I’ll get the message.

Yes. I disabled opcache, cleared cache, and the problem remains.

Sure.

1. I have opcache enabled
2. No cache inclusions
3. I disabled all plugins, deactivated Cache Enabler, tested, reactivated and tested, several times.

Sorry for the late reply, I didn’t get the email notification.

I’ll turn on caching.

Thank you,
Sean

Hi,

I’m just wondering if you have any updates on this. I got a test submission through the form a few days ago. I have the cache disabled for now, because I don’t want to leave the form inoperable.

After the last update, it wasn’t renamed and replaced. Just had the rules erased.

Thank you for the update.

The only plugin I use that writes to .htaccess is WP Fastest Cache. There are two sites that I don’t have that installed on which were affected. Yours is the only security plugin I use, and the only one installed on every site.

Oh, forgot to mention…

I’m running Pareto Security in standard mode without email notifications.

Thanks for the quick response te_taipo, and for the suggestion alexander70.

This happens randomly and has affected every site at least once. (No multisite) Before the last update, the .htaccess file would be renamed as .htaccess-bak(string of about 5 numbers).

A new .htaccess would be created that looks like the one above with only the list of ip’s with the end of Pareto Security code intact.

It contains no WordPress rules. (Happens with only WordPress rules and Pareto Security rules in .htaccess other than…

# Force SSL
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://oldtownweb.com/$1 [R,L]
# END Force SSL

The following part of the Pareto Security code is also missing…

# oldtownweb.com Pareto Security Ban
order allow,deny

Only the home page shows and all others are 404 because of the rewrite rules missing. If I re-save permalinks, the rules are added back.

After the last update (yesterday morning) I found two sites affected. This time, the .htaccess file wasn’t re-named and replaced, just had the rules deleted with the string of ip’s.

I only run a couple of plugins on most sites, and there isn’t one that’s installed on every site that was affected, so it doesn’t seem to be a conflict.

All sites are on a LiteSpeed server. It’s a reseller account, so my site has a different ip than all the others. The problem affects both ip’s.

Hope the info helps.

I don’t think this issue is fixed. Found two sites affected this morning.

Thank You.

Any progress on this? I had this same thing happen a few weeks ago, and a second time today to multiple sites. I’ve been using this plugin for a while on all my sites. This is the first problem I’ve had.
