RedirectMatch 301 ^/watermeloncakes/ //www.clienturl.com/watermelon-cakes-1/ (I assuming www.clienturl.com is the hostname for this site.) Well, here’s the thing… this would never have worked on any version of Apache!? Because protocol-relative URLs are not supported by mod_alias RedirectMatch (or Redirect) or mod_rewrite for that matter. From the Apache docs: The new URL may be either an absolute … Read more
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xxxz.com.qa [NC,OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xxxz.com.qa [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.xxxz.com.qa/$1 [L,R=301,NC] This will result in a redirect loop as it will repeatedly redirect https://www.xxxz.com.qa/<url> to https://www.xxxz.com.qa/<url> again and again… If you want to redirect from HTTP then you need to check that the request was for HTTP before redirecting to HTTPS. For example: RewriteCond … Read more
I’ve had this issue on a small number of sites (out of around 60 that I help manage), and I’m wondering if the issue is caused by caching (by a plugin or theme). If you have a caching plugin, or a theme that does caching, there should be a tool in the Dashboard for emptying/clearing/deleting … Read more
As long as a plugin is blocking excess login attempts, then I am not sure that additional protection is needed. The plugin should be protecting against the attempts at credential guessing. There will always be login attempts on sites, even if they aren’t WP sites. You could look at your access logs (filtering by a … Read more
From the two .htaccess files you posted I can’t see how your site is working at all?! If you request example.com/ (the document root) then the second rule in the root .htaccess file rewrites the request directly to /subdirectory/index.html (not index.php). If /subdirectory/index.html exists then the (non-WordPress) file is served, otherwise see #2 If you … Read more
I’ve found a solution. The WordPress made from AWS Lightsail instance image is bitnami WordPress. And the bitnami WordPress is disabled Basic Authentication as default. So it needs some modification on /opt/bitnami/apps/WordPress/conf/httpd-app.conf to enable Basic Authentication. This modification is adding 3 lines below. RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*) RewriteRule ^(.*) – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1] The httpd-app.conf ended … Read more
I would setup two WP installations at: /consumers/ /business/ Then you just need to share the theme between the two, adding switch statements to a single installation or trying to amend the rewrite structure can get messy quickly. The example.com homepage can just be a simple HTML page allowing the customer to link between the … Read more
OK. It appears it was a cookie path problem. I eventually solved it by adding @define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, “https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/” ); to the start of wp-config.php – as suggested by AppFlak. The vital clue came from monitoring the output of wp_parse_auth_cookie() under various states. Thanks for the ideas, guys! Makes it a lot easier with extra brains … Read more
A quick fix could be to change the permissions on your .htaccess file so if you change settings in WordPress, it’ll show you what you need to manually change your .htaccess to since it won’t have direct write access to the file anymore.
Due to WP admin architecture this would be really inconvenient list to compile and maintain reliably. My best educated guess is that many (but possibly not all and not just) of these files would need to require admin bootstrap (wp-admin/admin.php) to function. I ran a quick search on respective directive with following results: C:\server\www\dev\wordpress\src>ack –files-with-matches … Read more
