404 File/Folder White List Does NOT Work

    I am using GravityForms which keep giving me a captcha-random-number.png 404 error in the security log. I have a bunch of pages just from that…

    So I go to “Settings” – 404 Detection and entered “/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/” into the 404 File/Folder White List section.

    but why do I keep getting individual logs? or does this white list option just make it so that whatever is in this folder doesn’t count as a missing file to the user?

    Hi,

    Try listing the full path and see if that helps.

    /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/captcha-random-number.png

    Thanks!

    each captcha is different… they are random numbers

    I have

    /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/

    as the FOLDER whitelist but that doesn’t prevent the 404.

    After looking into the iTSec plugin 404 PHP code …

    /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/ entry in the whitelist will only prevent a 404 being logged for the following url:

    http://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/

    What you need is for the “404 File/Folder White List” box to support wildcards like:

    /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/captcha-72f780b5d276e336909599f74550b2d8/*.png

    or

    /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/captcha-*/*.png

    Unfortunately wildcards are not currently supported in the “404 File/Folder White List” box.

    If the above info answers your question please mark this topic as ‘resolved’.

    I ended up installing the plugin – “Gravity Forms No CAPTCHA reCAPTCHA” to display Google’s new captcha service. Waiting to see if I get any 404s from that.

    Since you’ve got a solid answer to the question raised in this topic I think it would be best to mark the topic as ‘resolved’.

    Your issue is not actually resolved (simply because there is no iTSec plugin solution) but I hope you get my point.
