    Since this plugin is simulating an RFI hacking method you will need to whitelist the argo-this.php file in the TimThumb / MISC File skip/bypass security filter. Add the argo-this.php file name to this security filter as shown below in your Root .htaccess file using the BPS built-in htaccess file editor.

    Another issue/problem with this plugin that is not caused by or related to BPS would be if your web host is using mod_security and they have a SecRule or SecFilter that is blocking this plugin:  See this WordPress Forum post:  http://wordpress.org/support/topic/argo-links-403-error/page/2?replies=48

    NOTE: The ait-pro.com domain is shown below in this security filter because this code example was taken from the ait-pro.com website. You will see your domain instead in this security filter.
