Support » Plugin: Solid Security – Password, Two Factor Authentication, and Brute Force Protection » Unable to edit site after upgrade to latest version

  • I have just upgraded to the latest version from WP Better Security.
    First problem – more annoying than anything else – I get the “first steps” popup continually – unable to stop getting it on each page refresh.

    Second problem – blocking
    After having backed up the database (I had to go and create manually the expected directories however ! ) and reviewed the settings, I am now unable to do any work in admin which will use the ajax call to admin_ajax.php.
    I get error 406 consistently.
    URL being called = http://[website root]/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php via POST

    What do I need to do to get the site back up and working properly ?

    Just found that I had to add the following to the .htaccess file :

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

    All works ok now for site updates.

    Remaining issue – how to get rid of the annoying popup panel ?
