In the error_log, I’m seeing a lot of this (changed IP and usernames to fakes, of course):
[Thu Oct 8 07:38:04 2015] [alert] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] /hsphere/local/home/user/blog.URL.com/.htaccess: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression ‘^wp-content/uploads/.*\\.(?:php[1-6]?|pht|phtml?)$’\n
Would that have anything to do with it?
(Also seeing a lot “mod_security: Access denied” listings resulting from xmlrpc.php. Maybe I need to turn mod_security off with a line in htaccess? I had done that in the past, but I went with a “clean” htaccess file when trying to get to the bottom of the 500 errors.)
I’m running Apache (not sure which version); and I did not rename my wp-content folder.
The Disable PHP in Uploads entry in my htaccess file looks like this:
# Disable PHP in Uploads – Security > Settings > System Tweaks > Uploads
RewriteRule ^wp-content/uploads/.*\.(?:php[1-6]?|pht|phtml?)$ – [NC,F]And I confirmed once more that it results in a 500 error on my site. Removing it brings the site back to normal.
Thanks so much, that explains a lot. Strange that the Disable PHP in Uploads feature is listed as “fixed” in that other thread, when it sure as hell broke mine!
After completely uninstalling the plugin, then reinstalling and checking off preferences one by one, I’ve found that the 500 error was caused if either of these two options are checked:
Banned Users: Hackrepair check
System Tweaks: Disable PHP in UploadsOnce those settings are written to the htaccess file…the 500 error shows up after the site is refreshed. The odd part is that BOTH of these options have ALWAYS been checked, from the first time I installed the plugin ages ago. The change I made this morning (the WPtouch exclusion noted above) actually did NOT add anything to the htaccess file. Just the very act of saving the file without changes was enough to do it, since the Hackrepair and Disable PHP functions were in there. I’ve since gotten the plugin settings back to where they were minus those two, and everything works fine after multiple saves to htaccess.
Makes no sense to me; any ideas? I’m contacting my webhost about this, too.
Tried that, and the good news is that the site loaded immediately once I uploaded the new htaccess file. Bad news: after saving settings in iThemes Security (WITHOUT making any changes), it immediately breaks the site again and returns the 500 error. I don’t know what in the htaccess file could have caused it.
Gotcha. I couldn’t see what had changed in that .htaccess file; if I remove all of the iThemes stuff from it, will the plugin rewrite it correctly the next time I save settings?
Glad to hear it’s being updated so quickly. I can’t use the beta (don’t have a non-production site), but once the full update goes live, I’ll install it and test it, and let you know in this thread if there’s still a problem. Thanks!
Both were from the same query. Just tried the test tweet, and it was successful.
Just returning the error; the tweet doesn’t go out at all.

In reply to: Does ecto work under OS X Mavericks?Everything, since I use ecto to publish to multiple WP blogs. I assume I’m not alone in that regard, and someone else here may have run into the same issue.

In reply to: How to hide blog title in MT Dark?Awesome, that worked! Is there any way I can do that on the single blog post pages, archives, etc?

In reply to: How to hide blog title in MT Dark?That did hide the header, but also moved the page links up to the top, where they’re very hard to see.
