Reply To: Can't lock htaccess file

So what you are saying is that you see this blue text below on the htaccess File Editor page correct?  If so, then the Root htaccess is actually locked and the problem you are describing is something on your website or server is preventing the Turn On AutoLock POST Form from processing the Form code/submit.  You can try deactivating all of your other plugins and see if the Turn On AutoLock Form works.  If you have Mod Security enabled then a Mod Security SecRule or SecFilter could be preventing the Turn On AutoLock Form from working.

Your root htaccess file is Locked with Read Only Permissions.
Use the Lock and Unlock buttons below to Lock or Unlock your root htaccess file for editing.

Yeap, my bad. I forgot to purge cache. Now is all fine.

Well you found the problem – You should NEVER cache your WordPress wp-admin area for any reason.  You should also never cache any Forms on the frontend of your website – Login page form, Contact page Form, etc.  All caching plugins have option settings to exclude individual frontend website pages.

Yes, thanks, I created the RewriteRule bypass rule for the folder. Just what I needed.

WPML Update – htaccess code created in Root htaccess file

After I updated WPML settings, it wanted to apply Htaccess change as follow:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

What to do (file is in quaranteen)?

Delete the Root htaccess file (auto_.htaccess = Root .htaccess file) in Quarantine.  Go to the BPS Pro > B-Core > htaccess File Editor tab page and lock your Root htaccess file to prevent this problem from occurring again.  Also turn on AutoLock.  The generic WordPress Rewrite htaccess code that WPML is adding to the Root htaccess file already exists in BPS Rewrite htaccess code.  BPS incorporates the WordPress standard Rewrite htaccess code already.

How to get past Advanced BP's

<p class=”s1wjcqzz-10 lkEbBw”>Title. I’ve been playing for almost a month, I’m at 51 LPP, have a T6 BP, plenty of bonuses, x5 click x5 merch x 10 research, x30k merchant revenue (without x5 merch ad booster), etc, but I’m finding it really difficult to push past Advanced. I can’t get good BP’s because by the time Advanced BP’s are showing up I can only get maybe 10 fame per soft reset without waiting 5-10 minutes for higher tier stuff, and that’s about a 50% chance (at best), assuming the token isn’t all the way at the end of the slider. What do I do here? Can any veterans/people in my position suggest some stuff to help?</p>
Thanks

I tested the Query String you posted in your first forum post and got a 403 error on my testing server because of the round bracket/parenthesis code character in the Query String.  What is being blocked in the second Security Log entry that you posted is the %27 url encoded value for the single quote code character – ‘.  My guess would be that several things in the random token string that is being generated are blocked by BPS root htaccess file security rules.  So the best method to use to allow any/all dangerous code characters used/created in the token string Query String by your phpMyAdmin 3rd party application would be the RewriteRule bypass rule for the /phpmyadmin/ folder method, which is what you are using.  So that should take care of the issue permanently.

Or you can create a RewriteRule bypass rule for the /phpmyadmin/ folder by doing the solution in this forum topic:  https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/custom-applications-outside-of-wordpress-3rd-party-apps/

UPDATE BPS Pro 14+ and BPS free 3.5+ versions:  The Script|Style Loader Filter (SLF) In BPS Plugin Pages option is now turned On by default.  Previously there was a performance problem caused by turning SLF On, but that issue has been figured out and now SLF increases BPS plugin page performance significantly.

Just wondering, would you consider it of any help to my site if I add Speed Boost Cache when I’m using Cloudflare (free plan)?

Both the Speed Boost cache code and Cloudflare caching do the same thing. So nope adding the Speed Boost cache code would probably not add any more website performance speed.

Hi,

I have next:

BPS AutoRestore/Quarantine – ARQ Log
====================================
====================================

[BPS Pro 14: wp-content File AutoRestore Logged: julio 13, 2019 18:30]
Quarantined Filename: class-astra-theme-update.php
Quarantine Path: /opt/bitnami/apps/xxxblog/htdocs/wp-content/bps-backup/quarantine/wp-content/themes/astra/inc/theme-update/class-astra-theme-update.php
Restore Path: /opt/bitnami/apps/xxxblog/htdocs/wp-content/themes/astra/inc/theme-update/class-astra-theme-update.php

Why it happen?

AutoRestore|Quarantine checks all website files for any changes. Files are checked against files in AutoRestore|Quarantine backup.  If a file is quarantined then either a file change occurred in the theme file or the file is a new file added by your theme. Did you upgrade your Theme?  Did you do anything else with your Theme?  See AutoRestore|Quarantine Guide link below to get a general idea of what AutoRestore|Quarantine is and how it works.

Well, I’m not sure what is going exactly here, but certainly is connected with MainWP (despite that I followed all steps).

1) So, in that case, I actually didn’t updated Astra (other plugins are updated) and outcome was that. I hardly believe how site was attacked (to not explain why), especially not in the moment of remote updates.

2) About 10 min ago, I remotely updated FVM plugin in 10 sites and ONLY ON ONE, I get .maintenance in quarantine (??? why?). Again, mostly 100% sure how it is not consequence of attack.

3) There is basically ZERO times when I did remote updates and that at least one (cannot remember for more than one site per time) didn’t sent me email notification about Auto Restore On/Off (??? – why and why only one?).

Please be kind and try to explain what is really going on here.

I don’t think your site was attacked.  I think that the file was added or updated due to something that was occurring at the time.  You can view the file in Quarantine to check it just in case, using the View File option in Quarantine.  If everything looks ok then use the Quarantine Restore File option to restore the file.

“I get .maintenance in quarantine (??? why?)” – this issue is caused in this case scenario – WordPress adds the .maintenance htaccess file when doing WordPress, plugin or theme updates and is then supposed to delete the .maintenance htaccess file after the update is completed.  If an AutoRestore cron runs before the .maintenance file is deleted or a WordPress error occurs and the .maintenance file is not deleted then the .maintenance file will be quarantined.  In both cases the solution is just to delete the WordPress .maintenance file in Quarantine.

AutoRestore email alerts can be turned Off on the S-Monitor page.  So check to make sure that the AutoRestore email alerts are not turned Off.  Other possibilities for not seeing the AutoRestore alert email.  The email was sent to your email Junk or Spam folder.  The email address that you are using to send email alerts to is incorrect/invalid on the S-Monitor page.  Your web host flagged the email as Spam and did not deliver the email alert to your mailbox.  Your web host bulk mail queue has a problem occurring currently and there is an extreme delay in sending emails.  Your web host mail server mail config in the php.ini file has some issues/problems.  Another plugin or theme that you have installed is interfering with WordPress Cron jobs or mail functions.  There are probably some more possible causes, but these are the most common.

1) Yes, I’m also sure that it is not attacked. I just connected cases/situations.

2) OK, make sense.

3) Maybe I wrongly exposed it. I’m actually wondering why if I did same operation remotely at same time on 10 sites, ONLY ONE send email (why not 10?). So, my issue is not email, rather number of sites. BTW –  all 10 sites have 100% same configuration including servers.

Maybe what happened with the AutoRestore email alerts is this – the default AutoRestore email alert setting is set to send the “AutoRestore is deactivated” email alert every 15 minutes.  So maybe only 1 email alert was sent because the Cron job that checks if AutoRestore is deactivated was ready to fire on one site only and not any of the other sites.  You can always test one of your sites by turning AutoRestore Off and waiting 15 minutes to see if the email alert arrives.  Or if you don’t want to wait 15 minutes you can change the S-Monitor > ARQ: When AutoRestore|Quarantine is Turned Off option setting to > Send email alert every 5 minutes.
