Hi
Please try this:
http://www.yourdomain.com/%5Bsecret folder]/?fargs[]=testing
Ff you get the same error, there is something blocking the brackets [] in the URL
A known plugin called “BulletProof Security for WordPress” block brackets creating special rules on .htaccess file
If I go to http://www.mydomain.com/?fargs%5B%5D=testing it takes me to my homepage – is that what’s supposed to happen?
If I try it with a directory (“secret folder”?) like this: http://www.mydomain.com/books/?fargs%5B%5D=testing I’m taken to that directory.
(I put the brackets in the urls above, as you demonstrated, but somehow they’re not showing up in my post.)
I don’t know the significance of brackets, kind of confused here.
Do I need to install BulletProofSecurity?
Thanks for your help!
Denise
this plugin worked great for me. I recently updated now I can’t do any backups either to dropbox or locally.
You are not authorized to access the webpage at http://www.xyz.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=pressback_principal&function=backup_start&fargs[]=backup_download&fargs[]=7,5,3. You may need to sign in.
I am signed in otherwise I wouldn’t be able to run the plugin.
Thanks,
Bob
quantaweb, there is something, a plugin or a htaccess rule, removing the brackets from the URL causing the error. BulletProofSecurity does it, so it is incompatible with Pressbackup.
Please try deactivating some plugins to test if that solve the problem.
rwilki, Please install the old version and test if that fix the error, otherwise your are in the same problem as quantaweb
i had deleted all of my security plugins and reverted back to the older version. still not working… bummer
