Thanks, jpw94.
Hope it helps. There are two places that mention the .htaccess, both in the Tweaks (or System Tweaks) area on the dashboard:Server Tweaks –> “Protect Files”
and
Other Tweaks –> “Remove write permissions from .htaccess and wp-config.php”
I have now enabled editing in both places. Unfortunately I had already cleared the database, so I am now waiting for the next “Changed Files” warnings to see if it works!
I am getting the first four error messages (lines 908 & 914 and 1066 & 1072).
Except that my Memory Used is about 15 MB – and I get about eight simulataneous error messages with 0 Added, 0 Deleted, 0 Modified files!
(with an e-mail notification for each)I suspect a conflict with a plugin … but which one :-/
A different way to generate lots of 404’s without necessarily discovering it: renaming the wp-content directory path will generate one 404 per item with that path – until you locate and rename the paths.
I noticed it immediately as my header was suddenly off, but I did rack up quite a few 404’s before fixing it!From experience I know to keep at least two copies of the .htaccess file, luckily. I am still not sure what happened this time: “I was not playing with the .htaccess” ;-D – but BWPS saves to the .htaccess file, so my guess is that (strange as it sounds) the saving operation must have been interrupted resulting in a corrupted file … Or maybe clumsy fingers on my part (a definite possibility): my redirects were cut off in the middle of the first line. Thus every page except the frontpage generated a 404 :-/ And it took me a little while to realise the problem was with the .htaccess, since it was not a 500 error!
All of which is to say that there is a good reason to whitelist yourself in the “404 Detection” area. And to perhaps not be too stringent with the 404 timeouts etc if you work from different locations and/or have a dynamic ip.If you accidentally corrupt your .htaccess file you can generate quite a few 404’s before it’s fixed. Especially where several people use the same ip-adress (in an office, for example) – and the “404 Detection” text specifically advises adding your own ip to the (404) “whitelist”.
I remembered the specific word whitelist from one installation and was looking for it in a differennt installation – and I’m guessing that must be what stevebower is looking for.
But no, as far as I can see, it’s not possible to whitelist ip’s for login-attempts.
I was just looking for it – and found it under “Intrusion Detection” (below “404 Detection”) …
As far as I can gather it only whitelists you from 404-lockouts, but presumably that is the area in which the site admin is most at risk from being locked out.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Browser Screenshots] open in a new windowThanks, cob-web, that works. Only drawback is that now all links are external.
I would prefer the option of having external links for external sites and internal links for internal pages.Like srumery I am looking forward to the next version.

In reply to: [Browser Screenshots] open in a new window+1 +1 Browsershots are typically for external websites, where updates are controlled by somebody else. For ones own site, where same-window links would be standard, it would reduce the need to update duplicate content, I suppose.
