I reactivated HMWP, copied/pasted settings that I saved previously, saved them, and then un-checked the box for hiding wp-admin, logged out, and tried to click the same link again, only to find the ‘Page Not Found’ once again only this time the page was all messed up with broken formatting/CSS. In fact, I couldn’t even get logged in again until I deleted the plugin via SSH. I’m at my wits end with this thing and starting to regret ever purchasing it.

Any final advice before I give up altogether?

Ok great, email sent, and no, I don’t use any redirect plugins. The login redirects are built into the theme itself.

I welcome your thoughts and hope we can get this worked out as I’d love to be able to continue using the plugin.

I’m not sure what auto test you’re referring to, but I’ll keep an eye out for this happening again, though because of the other issue I have a separate thread for, I’ve had to disable HMWP until that’s worked out since it’s leaving my customers confused about why they’re getting a soft 404.

Well to completely duplicate it, you’d need to be using my theme (Vantage from AppThemes), and then clicking on a link to moderate a comment while logged out. I can send you a copy of the theme if you let me know where to send it. (Can I upload it here and set it to private??

That is, it’s not an issue if you’re already logged in. It’s only an issue with the login redirects.

I thought that the issue was resolved by removing the last line in the .htaccess file, but it seems that only disabling the HMWP plugin altogether resolves the issue.

Once i do that, it properly redirects to:

[my domain]/login/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2F[my domain]%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit-comments.php%3Fcomment_status%3Dmoderated%26comment_type%3Dreview

…which of course then redirects to the original link, once logged in successfully.

I’m afraid that made no difference. Any other advice?

I exported the current settings (since everything is back to the way I had it before, minus the IP black list), and I pressed the ‘undo previous settings’ button a good 5 times or so, but it’s not bringing back my black list.

It’s not the end of the world, but it seems really unusual (and unstable) that it randomly just lost everything, including even the purchase code. So I’m not sure how else to proceed except to wait to see if it happens again, unless you have any other suggestions.

I suppose it’s not a big deal, and respectfully, I’ve had one too many developers mess up my live production site, which is why I don’t give out admin credentials any more. Thanks for being willing to take a look at it though.

By temporarily removing the last line in the HMWP section of the .htaccess file, I think I’ve worked around the issue. From what little I can tell though, this will reduce the level of protection I’m receiving. So I still welcome your thoughts.

P.P.S. I’m manually configuring the .htaccess file, and this is what I have (with the admin login key removed for security reasons):

P.S. I do not have Canonical Redirects disabled

There’s just one warning in the console:
Resource interpreted as Stylesheet but transferred with MIME type text/html

I’m using v5.6.2, which was very recently downloaded.

Any other thoughts?
