No problem, good to see you’re acting so fast on it 🙂

Hello,

Updating IIS user here as well.. since the last update it broke my site so I had to disable the plugin manually.

1. Hosted
2. Windows NT 10.0 build 14393 (Windows Server 2016) AMD64 / Microsoft-IIS/10.0
3. $wp_version = ‘4.9.8’; / $wp_db_version = 38590;
4. I was running this plugin fine, untill the latest update broke it.

If there is any more information that might help, let me know!

Hiding errors is never the solution 😉

If you are using the latest WordPress version this problem is likely to be caused by a plugin or your theme. So probably you’d best wait for an answer from the developer.

Hi!

I’m assuming you feed the category named “prod-kat” to $cat. Is this correct? In what sense doesn’t this code work? Does en error gets thrown? Does the mentioned category even have parents? Have you tried debugging using the debug modus already?

Hi!

Have you done anything special before you got locked out of your WordPress? Install any new plugins, run updates, etc. ?

If that’s not the case: do you get a error message when trying to login? If so: what does it say?

Something you might try is to login to your database and check out your users table. There should be an entry there for your user account. Check if your user is still present, and if the e-mail is also correct. Are there any new user accounts visible here?

Hello,

IIS web hoster here 🙂

in /classes/wp-security-utility.php on line 480 you declare the following function:

static function get_server_type()

which you use to perform a check to get the server type used by the plugin’s user. A few servertypes will get an ‘OK’ for the rest of the plugin, while all others are denied with an error. For this I feel it might be better to use the two variables from WP: $is_iis7 and $is_apache.

While some IIS setups do allow the usage of Apache styled .htaccess configuration-files, not all setups support this.

In this specific case you can add the following lines to this file, on lines 495 through 499:

else if
(strstr(strtolower(filter_var($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'],
FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING)), 'iis'))
        {
            return 'iis';
        }

This will fix the plugin for IIS users that have the ability to use .htaccess files. For IIS users that have to use web.config files you can take the following steps:

1. Check whether the IIS rewrite module is active (iis7_supports_permalinks()) https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/iis7_supports_permalinks/
2. Add the required rules to the web.config configuration of the site: iis7_add_rewrite_rule() https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/iis7_add_rewrite_rule/

This way this plugin should work on most IIS servers.

Kind regards,

Pieter
