I have no doubt that I am doing something wrong since this product has never failed me but for the life of me I cannot find the problem. I am using a modified version of the Personal Fundraiser plugin. The plugin uses client side javascript to call validate-slug.php which results in a 500 error. I followed your other posts and added
# personal fundraiser skip/bypass rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-content/plugins/personal-fundraiser/ [NC]
RewriteRule . - [S=13]
to the root htaccess file under the CUSTOM CODE PLUGIN SKIP/BYPASS RULES, saved the change and activiated bulletproof mode.
I also added
/personal-fundraiser/validate-slug.php,
to the plugin firewall rules, saved the changes and activated bulletproof mode.
At some point in all my attempts, I was able to raise a 403 error but cannot seem to remember how I did that. Need much more coffee. The only other note I would make is that the user is logged on at the time this function is used.
Any thoughts?
