Hi, I like your plugin and have tried using it. But I noticed that the press this bookmarklet that has been one great feature of WP stops working when I have BPS active. I get an access error message:
You do not have permission for this request /wp-admin/post-new.php?u=http//xx.xx.xx
Do you have a solution for this? Thanks a lot in advance!
Are you talking about the WP built-in Press This feature in Settings > Writing? If so, can you be more specific about exactly what you are doing and what is not working exactly. Thanks.
BPS does not block the built-in WordPress Press This feature. Other plugins that do block this are the Website Defender plugins. Resolving this post.

Hi, if you go in WP dashboard to tools->available tools there is something called "Press this". This is a bookmarklet that allows you to create a post from the page in your browser. The error message I get when BPS is active is related to this bookmarklet.
I have never used Website Defender plugin.
Regards.
Ok i do not use and have never used this WP feature so can you be more specific about exactly what you are doing and what is not working exactly. What i mean by specific is this. step 1 - i do this, then step 2 i do this, then on step 3 this error and problem occurs. Thanks.
Ok i had some spare time so i played around with this. this was a really simple fix that i could have given you in 5 minutes if you had explained step 1, etc. For future reference if you want a quick answer then provide a good question. ;) Thank you for reporting this issue.
Add this .htaccess code shown below in your wp-admin .htaccess file - NOT YOUR ROOT .htaccess file. And not all the code - just the portion of .htaccess code shown after # REQUEST METHODS FILTERED and before the start of the BPS security filters.
# REQUEST METHODS FILTERED
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(HEAD|TRACE|DELETE|TRACK|DEBUG) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
# Allow wp-admin files that are called by plugins
# Fix for WP Press This
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (press-this\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule . - [S=1]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (<|>|'|%0A|%0D|%27|%3C|%3E|%00) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (libwww-perl|wget|python|nikto|curl|scan|java|winhttp|HTTrack|clshttp|archiver|loader|email|harvest|extract|grab|miner) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?\ HTTP/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \/\*\ HTTP/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} etc/passwd [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} cgi-bin [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} (%0A|%0D) [NC,OR]
.....
.....
.....Since there is a conflict with WP's Press This functionality and this is a safe thing to add as a standard to BPS, this code will be included as standard wp-admin .htaccess coding in the next release of BPS >>> BPS .46.9.

Thanks a lot AITPro! Thanks for taking time. I will try this and report if any further errors. This time I will be more precise ;-)
Thank you for reporting this because this is something i was not aware of and BPS was blocking the Press This WP functionality. :) :) :)
And my previous comment could be taken the wrong way so i just want to let you know that i was only suggesting the best approach at getting quick answers in a friendly way, but my previous post could be interpreted as i was lecturing you. LOL I was not. I have a tendency to speak very directly and sometimes it comes across as borderline offensive. ;) Thank you again for this very important catch and info.
