Browser issue with WP: "Method Not Implemented"

    I run my wife’s photography blog, and we’ve been having some trouble with it. It appears that periodically something cached in the browser will conflict with the blog and not load it. When the cache is cleared, the blog works fine again. This is fine for us, but the problem comes when this starts happening to other people who visit our blog.

    This is what the page displays with Chrome (Version 43.0.2357.130 (64-bit)):

    Method Not Implemented

    GET to / not supported.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    The blog: blog.blytheelizabeth.com

    I am unaware if this problem is present in any browsers other than chrome. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Thank you.

    That is something not right with mod_security on the server. Who is the host?

    Arvixe. I’m assuming the best course of action, then, would be to contact Arvixe’s support?

    Yes. You can also check your .htaccess file. It should look like this at a minimum.

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    This is what my .htaccess file currently looks like:

    # AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

# BEGIN WordPress

# END WordPress

    Should I replace it with what you have?

    That could be the problem. You are running php52 and the requirement is for PHP version 5.2.4 or greater (recommended: PHP 5.4 or greater).

    I assume you picked that version on the cpanel from your host which would write to the .htaccess file. If so go to your host and see if there is a choice of php 5.4. I hope they have 5.4. If you can’t find it confirm they have 5.4 and replace the above with
    AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php .php5 .php4 .php3

    So I emailed Arvixe support and they sent back the following:

    I found below errors under log. Could you please check and let us know why you are trying to code injection ? So that we can investigate it for you.

    I’m trying to make sense of this, but my knowledge of such things is almost nonexistent. Is this something I can fix? Could this be from an installed theme or plugin?

    Yes. It could be a plugin. Try the support forums for the plugins you have, just read, and see if anyone else is reporting a problem.
