Deactivating all plugins excepting Wordfence 2. Changing themes to 2025 3. Uninstalling and reinstalling Wordfence with all data removed. 4. Making the URLs absolute paths. * After observing this behavior on all of my client WP builds on a particular host( but not on other hosts), I began to suspect it was a server firewall or config setting that was at issue. I worked with my hosting provider tech support team to resolve this issue. In my case, the issue was caused by a server mod_security rule that was being activated and was blocking the change to be saved. Tech support changed this and all is well. Hope this helps someone else. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Image Refresh] Image Refresh not working in any browser when not logged in to WP Admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-refresh-not-working-in-any-browser-when-not-logged-in-to-wp-admin/) * Thread Starter [Lightwing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightwing/) * (@lightwing) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-refresh-not-working-in-any-browser-when-not-logged-in-to-wp-admin/#post-18193653) * Ah, yes. That was it! WP Fastest Cache. Not the various settings like minification, combining or gzip, the plugin itself. When caching was enabled with all settings disabled, it still impacted your plugin for some reason. I had to exclude the whole main page to get it to work. * All’s well that ends well.

My next maintenance pass will be on Thursday, the 25th. I will try disabling first. If this doesn’t work, I will reach out after setting up the config per your specs. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Kadence Security – Password, Two Factor Authentication, and Brute Force Protection] Empty file encountered when attempting to update apache config file.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-file-encountered-when-attempting-to-update-apache-config-file-3/) * Thread Starter [Lightwing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightwing/) * (@lightwing) * [2 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-file-encountered-when-attempting-to-update-apache-config-file-3/#post-17349041) * After speaking with Pantheon support, it appears to be an issue with your plugin trying to write in the /code directory which is not allowed by platform design. Test and Live environments are not code-writable by default. I am not allowed to reboot the server. So, that option is out. * Suggested Workarounds below or at this link: [https://docs.pantheon.io/plugins-known-issues#ithemes-security](https://docs.pantheon.io/plugins-known-issues#ithemes-security) * **Issue 1:** The “File Change Detection” check in the [iThemes Security](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/) plugin, warns site admins when files are modified. On Pantheon, automated backups will trigger this warning. * **Solution:** Disable the “File Change Detection” component of the plugin. Code files in the Test and Live environments are not writable, so this is not a security risk on Pantheon. * **Issue 2:** iThemes Security attempts to modify `nginx.conf`, `.htaccess` and` wp-config.php`. Components that need write access to these files will not work since `nginx.conf` [cannot be modified](https://docs.pantheon.io/guides/platform-considerations/platform-site-info#nginxconf) and code files on the Test and Live environments are not writable. * **Solution:** _Modifications to `wp-config.php` should be done in Dev or Multidev environments, then deployed forward to Test and Live._ * So, my question is – what can I write to wp-config.php that will fix the error showing up in the logs? “Empty file encountered when attempting to update `apache` config file.” Is there anything? If not, can I mute this error? * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Kadence Security – Password, Two Factor Authentication, and Brute Force Protection] Empty file encountered when attempting to update apache config file.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-file-encountered-when-attempting-to-update-apache-config-file-3/) * Thread Starter [Lightwing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightwing/) * (@lightwing) * [2 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-file-encountered-when-attempting-to-update-apache-config-file-3/#post-17148239) * I tried your fix several times and the bug persists. Are there any other steps I can try to mitigate this issue? If it helps, this website exists in a Dev/Test/ Live NGINX server environment. There is NO .htaccess file to write to. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Kadence Security – Password, Two Factor Authentication, and Brute Force Protection] Empty file encountered when attempting to update apache config file.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-file-encountered-when-attempting-to-update-apache-config-file-3/) * Thread Starter [Lightwing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lightwing/) * (@lightwing) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/empty-file-encountered-when-attempting-to-update-apache-config-file-3/#post-17114622) * Log file shows the errors are persisting in spite of cycling the checkbox several times.

These images wouldn’t have the same proportions as the square images.

How about a version for people who can? Or, at least keep the Classic Editor going for those of use who develop using a code-centric approach. Just a thought. Thanks!
