Custom PHP scripts and Hide My WP plugin

[eGene]

I need some custom functionality (not related to plugin) to run on cron. For that I have a php script which does what I want. It used to work before I installed hide_my_wp plugin. Now it renders 404 page when I do require(‘[my_path]/wp-load.php’); in my script. If I disable the plugin it works fine again. How do I bypass that?

Hi, please disable/uncheck these options in HMWP General settings tab:

– Hide PHP Files
– Directory List

Let us know!

[eGene]

Both these options are disabled, no help.

Correction. It actually works with those options disabled. I looked at a wrong place while verifying it. Thank you.

[Suman M.]

Alright! Let us know if any issue.

[eGene]

It started happening again. Those 2 checkboxes are unchecked and my cron script is still blocked.

Also, Trust Network is disabled.

I believe I found an error and it looks like the problem is in your code (load.php).

$block_ip = false;
if ($this->opt('blocked_ips') || ($this->opt('trust_network'))) {
    $rules = get_option('trust_network_rules');
    $banned_ips = array_merge(explode(',', $this->opt('blocked_ips')), explode(',', $rules['ip']));
    ....

Here you can see that it would read and block IPs from trust_network_rules even when it’s disabled in case there is an IP added manually to blocked_ips field. This was my case. I think it should check $this->opt(‘trust_network’) again before reading from ‘trust_network_rules’.

Hi, thanks for the detailed info, we’ll take note of it. I hope for now, removing the IPs from Trust Network section has solved the issue for you.
