[Plugin: Role Scoper] Internal Server Error 500

    Hi,

    Hope you can help, I installed Role Scooper late last week, set up all the privileges etc to the desired users. Since the plugin was installed there has been some serious stability issues with the site, as the .htaccess file is being re-written in an endless loop therefore breaking the site.
    I’ve carried out some intensive research into this and there seems to be a couple of people with a similar issue.

    Would it be possible for you to advise on solutions, I’d rather not have to keep on restoring a working .htaccess file as this is for a recruitment website and our client will not be best pleased with stability issues.

    Would be great to get this resolved as the site is meant to be going live tomorrow/end of the week.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

    Role Scoper modifies the .htaccess file to support http authentication of rss feed requests.

    For multisite installations, the main .htaccess file is also modified to support file filtering. For single site installs, only wp-content/uploads/.htaccess is created/modified.

    Apparantly that code is running amuck on your site (possibly due to a conflict with some other code). You can prevent RS from touching .htaccess by disabling the corresponding features:

    Roles > Options > Features > RSS Feeds > “HTTP Authentication Request in RSS Feed Links”

    Roles > Options > Features > File Filtering

    Hi Kevin,

    Thanks for getting back to me, I’ve had a look into the sections of configuration that you mentioned were already disabled. I’ve set the RSS feed links to enabled for the time being to see if the error occurs again and will keep you updated.

    Cheers!

    Hi Kevin,

    Just an update with the solution of the note for future reference to other users.

    Roles > Options > Features > RSS Feeds > “HTTP Authentication Request in RSS Feed Links”
    => Changed to ‘always’

    Roles > Options > Features > File Filtering
    => File filtering is un-ticked.

    Let’s hope this isn’t a jynx and it breaks… Thanks for your help!

    Kind Regards,
    Dan
