Reply To: error_log – error log file being quarantined

I deleted any search results that could not be a possibility above.  ARQ is a file monitor and quite a bit more then just a simple file monitor so you would not need to also have the WordPress File Monitor Plus plugin installed.  CloudFlare is not a simple thing to turn on or off so this is the logical step that I would take to see if any of these plugins are creating the multiple error log files:

Deactivate these plugins:  timthumb-vulnerability-scanner, wordpress-file-monitor-plus, broken-link-checker

Also I just thought of a reason why you were being redirected when clicking the Quarantine delete and restore buttons.  On some hosts depending on how PHP processing is configured, file names without a file extension are not seen as valid files.  This is pretty rare, but I have come across this issue before. So that is a possibility that could be confirmed by quarantining a file with a normal file extension to see if it can be restored and deleted correctly.  Then you would know that the issue is isolated to files without valid file extensions.

When excluding error_log files that do not have a valid file extension name then the sequence of how you create the exclude rules for these individual files is very important.

AutoRestore MUST be turned off first.
The error_log files MUST actually exist in these folder locations.  ie /wp-content/error_log and /wp-admin/error_log
You can then use the Single File Exclude Form tool to create the exclude rules for each of these files.
Then copy each of these files to their respective /bps-backup/autorestore/wp-content/error_log and /wp-admin/error_log AutoRestore folders.
After all of these steps are done in this exact sequence you can then turn AutoRestore back on.
On most Servers these steps will keep ARQ from checking or quarantining these files, but on some servers this may not work depending on how the PHP server is configured to handle files without valid file extension names.
