WP Statistics fail with Bad Query Strings enabled

    I found an issue with having Bad Query Strings enabled and WP Statistics.

    It looks like the htaccess detects the https:// part of the URL and denies it.

    I’m no expert in htaccess, but adding a condition that allows a url with the _wpnonce paramter in it would work? – but not sure if that opens up more abuse potential – but it makes the request look more legitimate.

    Hi,

    In some sites this feature might not work and trigger some error messages. If that is the case you can leave “Bad Query Strings” rules disabled or you can modify them by figuring out which string is causing the trigger. Then all you have to do is copy and paste the modified rules in the custom rules section.

    In general if you had to choose only one set of firewall rules to enable, it would be the 6G rules because they are the best all-round .htaccess firewall rules.

    Let me know if the above helps you.

    Thank you
