 * Hi, I have installed the plugin “Wpdiscuz”, always in my logs there are a lot
   of 404 error about this path “/wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/utils/temp/” I tried
   to prevent that on my “404 File/Folder White List” but the problem doesn’t dissapear.
 * This is my White List:
 * /favicon.ico
    /robots.txt /apple-touch-icon.png /apple-touch-icon-precomposed.
   png /wp-content/cache /browserconfig.xml /crossdomain.xml /labels.rdf /trafficbasedsspsitemap.
   xml /wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/utils/temp/
 * What do I do?
 * Thanks.

 * Weird, it should work fine assuming you are using the latest iTSec plugin release(
   5.1.1).
 * Perhaps you should figure out why /wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/utils/temp/ gives
   a 404 and then fix that …
    Does that path actually exist ? If it exists is there
   anything in the utils folder or is it an empty folder ?

 * [@dwinden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwinden/) thanks for your response.
 * I use the latest iTSec. I can’t understand why the path gives me the error.
 * The 404 error is like this “/wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/utils/temp/eXzSy-1449798744.
   png”
 * The path exists and the folder contains .png files and .txt files. They are about
   the captcha, but recently I disabled Captcha in Wpdiscuz plugin and it didn’t
   work, the path still gave 404 error.
 * I don’t know why the white list doesn’t work. I think it could be a solution…

 * Oops, seems like I did not receive an email of your last post.
 * It looks like specifying a folder in the 404 whitelist does not work as expected…
 * Since there are several similar topics opened on this forum I’ll have a look 
   at the iTSec plugin 404 Detection code.

 * Thank you so much, for the moment I chose to disable the 404 error detection.

 * Actually I already figured this out a while ago.
    The conclusion is included 
   in [this](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-filefolder-white-list-does-not-work)
   topic.
