Yeah I guess that could have caused the issue, but my guess would be that would be a one-time issue. In any case, what is important is that ARQ prevented a major problem of new WP files being quarantined during the WP update by shutting ARQ off with the failsafe built into ARQ. So a minor inconvenience of having to manually run the Setup Wizards…[Read more]

I also just realized we also installed a plugin through MAinwp in bulk, which we did last week also when the problem first appeared

If AutoRestore|Quarantine is unable to backup/update all new WordPress files during a WP update then ARQ will turn itself off and send you email notifications. Since this issue occurred on several websites then the most likely cause for this issue is that there was API or host server latency occurring during the WP updates. If that is what…[Read more]

Yes, the /plugins folder is excluded by default. The /plugins folder is protected by the BPS Pro Plugin Firewall feature.  So it is unnecessary to have AutoRestore|Quarantine check plugin files. You can of course remove the plugins folder exclusion rule. That choice is up to you, but you really don’t need to have AutoRestore|Quarantine checking…[Read more]

Perfect. Thank you!

Most likely the file path is not valid or the Quarantine DB table is fubar. Do the steps below to clear/delete the Quarantine DB table.

Go to the BPS Pro menu > Tools menu > DB Table Cleaner|Remover tab page > select the Drop Radio button for the BPS Pro Quarantine DB table > xxxxx_bpspro_arq_quarantine > click the Empty|Drop button. A new empty…[Read more]

Hi – I have a file in a local install and now migrated to production site that continuously gets quarantined. It’s a simple admin-style.css file containing 4 very basic styles for editing acf pro post types. 4 basic background colors. That’s it. I mostly ignored this when developing it on my local computer but now that the site is live, I’d like…[Read more]

Delete that htaccess code. The BPS Plugin Firewall is blocking that plugin js script. Do the steps below to manually add a whitelist rule. Go to BPS Pro menu > Plugin Firewall menu link > Plugin Firewall Whitelist Tools text area.

Adding a Plugin Firewall whitelist rule manually

BPS does not block or do anything to robots.txt files. I checked your robots.txt file > https://www.walkingsports.com/robots.txt and the problem is that you have added an unneeded User-agent rule in your robots.txt file, which is most likely causing the problem. User-agent: * means apply the robots.txt rules to all crawlers. So you do not need to…[Read more]
