In reply to: [Plugin: AskApache Password Protect] Ask Apache pasword issuesThanks for the props Gangleri, I’m a day or 2 away from releasing a major update that won’t let people shoot themselves in the foot anymore.
Its pretty amazing how well it works. I had it turned off for about 8 hours while I was working on it, and when I checked back in to activate I had received over 500 spams! Each one of the akismet found spams uses my limited server connections, cpu for each instance of php and mysql, and slows everyone else down. With the anti-spam research I and a few other people are doing for this plugin, its really going to be nice.
Theres just this whole issue of “coding” the dan thing, which I struggle with but enjoy. This next upgrade is a good one.

In reply to: AskApache Crazy CacheI created the plugin ON DreamHost VPS, which is what askapache.com is hosted on as well.
I’m using a beta version of AACrazyCache on askapache.com that I will be releasing in 1-2 weeks that will be pretty amazing in terms of keeping your load to a minimum *including php, cpu, mysql, memory, and bandwidth*
Don’t uninstall it or you might not see when I update it.

In reply to: AskApache Password Protect PluginPeople are getting error messages and such because I’m still learning how to code robust for all servers and hosting providers that allow wordpress but .htaccess is something very different.

In reply to: AskApache Password Protect PluginAPP only creates /.htpasswda1 (you choose where to create this file) and /wp-admin/.htaccess (which is only used when you turn on password protection.)
WordPress creates the /.htaccess file when your server is capable and you use pretty-permalinks. APP just adds to this file.

In reply to: [Plugin: AskApache Password Protect] Cannot get AAPP to workHmm. The plain encryption test is just there for windows clients that won’t support anything else..
Try installing the updated plugin, if you are still having problems then email me the .htaccess files modified by the plugin..

In reply to: AskApache Crazy CacheNow it works with WP-Super Cache, hyper-cache, and WP-Cache.
I added the new cron capabilities of the latest wordpress release so that it automatically runs every hour and keeps your cache updated at all times.

In reply to: [Plugin: AskApache Password Protect] no configuration screenPlease upgrade to the latest version – currently Version: 4.2.4
Because of the extreme nature of this plugin (and my lack of time and skill at programming) I have purposefully made each upgrade to automatically erase the old version so that you have to start all over again and re-think your security posture.
Hopefully you don’t have a exploited blog, thats weird that you are still using 3.5.1 — If you ever have a problem, just remove the modified parts of the .htaccess file in your root and wp-admin directory.

In reply to: Move index to root OR permanent redirect to sub?If it were me I would move the subdirectory above your root, re-download wordpress and unzip it into your root folder, so that wp-config.php is in your root folder. Then go back into your subdirectory and move the files you need like wp-config.php, themes, and plugins.
Just make sure you change the site and blog address in the database.

In reply to: [Plugin: AskApache Password Protect] Change log?I normally try and explain the basic changes in the log window of the plugins repository each time I commit new changes. Unless the major version number changes I’ve only been refactoring code to make it stable and robust.
Keep in mind this is just a hobby of mine, so there isn’t any proper documentation or anything like that. sorry

In reply to: Change wp-admin into another nameInteresting idea, of course from my experience of hacking through the WP code, there is an awful lot of hardcoded references to the admin folder.. But I don’t know that much about WP so maybe. Since the result of moving wp-admin to wp44-admin would be they would start using bigger guns and attacking everywhere, it might be better for the server resources if WP developers just added a lock-out after so many attempts.
The problem that I have seen in the past with that type of setup is when they build it all into the database.. whcih effectively just gives you a slower site.
One way you could make apache and WP do this is by having .htaccess code that denies access based on the value or presense of a cookie, which mod_rewrite can see in the Set-Cookie HTTP header. So after 10 bad login attempts the login script stops providing the robot with the correct cookie, thus locking them out.

In reply to: Permalinks not workingHmm. A few months ago I would’ve assumed it was a WP issue, but they’ve fixed everything as far as I know. And I really beat the crap out my installs and haven’t had any issues with 2.5.1 yet so my guess is that its either some server configuration setting or its how the php interpreter is being used and was installed on your system.
Do you can try looking at your basic .htaccess directives like Options, DirectoryIndex, ErrorDocument, and maybe you’ll get lucky. Or you can try replacing that “Not Found” message with a phpinfo message (by setting up wordpress to output phpinfo from the 404.php) which could tell you if php is having some issues like pathinfo, and especially cgi stuff.
But now that I look at your blog, maybe it is WP.. I think I remember having the same kind of problem when trying to post in a category that is a subcategory of another category. I bet it would work if you posted into a parent category. Something is wrong when your latest posts are in your /category/archives/finally folder. Should be /category/finallly or else you will have to make pages.
