Link Checker HEAD Requests edit

    I have a MultiSite. I am having a minor issue removing/placing this to get rid of HEAD, it won’t save. I’m not doing something correctly.

    This is what I copied from your Broken Link Checker post.

    # REQUEST METHODS FILTERED
# If you want to allow HEAD Requests use BPS Custom Code and
# remove/delete HEAD| from the Request Method filter.
# Example: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|DELETE|TRACK|DEBUG) [NC]
# The TRACE, DELETE, TRACK and DEBUG Request methods should never be removed.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|DELETE|TRACK|DEBUG) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F]

    Honestly, the first go I just deleted the term HEAD. But it didn’t save. It went to an Oops Page Not Found.

    Then I pasted that code block to replace that section. But it did the same thing. Oops… Etc.

    I am not doing something in the correct place the correct way.
    I will also read the link about MultiSites that the BPS developer posted on my other thread.

    Thank you

    The standard custom code steps are: (in the Custom Code Read Me help button text). If the issue/problem is still occurring then describe the specific details for why you want to allow HEAD Requests. ie is a HEAD Request being blocked in a plugin or 3rd party app etc.

    Root htaccess File Custom Code Setup Steps
    1. Enter your custom code in the appropriate Root Custom Code text box.
    2. Click the Save Root Custom Code button to save your Root custom code.
    3. Go to the Security Modes page and click the Create secure.htaccess File AutoMagic button.
    4. Select the Activate Root Folder BulletProof Mode Radio button and click the Activate|Deactivate button.

    wp-admin htaccess File Custom Code Steps
    1. Enter your custom code in the appropriate wp-admin Custom Code text box.
    2. Click the Save wp-admin Custom Code button to save your wp-admin custom code.
    3. Go to the Security Modes page, select the Activate wp-admin Folder BulletProof Mode Radio button and click the Activate|Deactivate button.

    Were you able to save the custom code or are you still unable to save the custom code?

    Oh I am having a serious issue with my other MU network. I got side tracked. I will get on this issue and finish it up. I will update you.

    I am so not tech support! 😉

    Question:. To be clear, those are two different methods or 2 processes, and I must do both?

    I am excited to do my own fix. Sorry, I need to read, absorb, your instructions more carefully and prepare to implement. Make sure I am oriented, find the files and the places to make the change.

    I will watch for your reply, and update you when I have finished.
    Thanks.

    When you add custom code to any BPS Custom Code text boxes can you save that custom code or are you seeing an error? The BPS Custom Code steps I posted above are just the general steps to add/save custom code for either the root or wp-admin htaccess files. If you are unable to save any custom code then that issue/problem would need to be figured out first.

    I tried again.

    I tried removing “Head” from that line of code. The button says “Update File” not “Save”. When I hit “Update File” the page reloads to an “Oops Page Not Found” – Is that what should happen?

    I thought maybe I hadn’t done the Setup Wizard. I must have already done the wizard because there is a lot green text saying everything “passed” and files are “writable”. So I will not repeat the wizard.

    Sounds like something installed on your server is not allowing things to be saved. Likely problems would be a permissions problem or an Ownership problem. Ask your host what might be causing this problem on your server.

    Okay. I will do that. My host tech support is odd. Dense. I must be specific, clear-spoken, with them. And repeat myself by explaining the same thing multiple ways.

    They are going to ask what it is I’m trying to do. Would you write that in some tech way they’ll understand?
    Would you give me the exact verbiage for the question?

    These tech people are not at all like my old host – not one bit. (One of them told me they can’t host WP MU. I happen to have 2 networks on their servers.)

    Yep understand. 😉 What you want to look at and check with your host is something like this below and of course phrased in a way that does not provoke a defensive reaction.

    Example: I am using a WordPress plugin that has file writing capability and I am unable to save any file edits. Could there be something like a file/folder permission or Ownership issue going on that would be preventing me from saving file edits within WordPress.

    Did you get a response back from your host? Seems odd that they would not be able to host a Network/Multisite site since it is basically a standard WordPress site that does more stuff. Maybe they just misunderstood what you were asking?

    I see that you posted this thread: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/cannot-access-admin-of-subsite-err_loop-too-many-redirects?replies=2#post-7189841 and this is a very likely cause of the problem in this thread.

    So sorry!

    Still have major issue with host and a MultiSite install that they nested with another MultiSite. Going mad! About to abandon this prepaid $75 hosting to go back to my outstanding $2 mo. host with insanely great tech support on Host Hoot.

    I will post to tech support and update you later . Thanks!

    Yep that is the ironic thing about getting a VPS, Dedicated or buying rackspace and installing your own server (colocation) – you will pay more and it is expected that you have high level technical knowledge and will need minimum support. When you do the Shared hosting thing it is expected that you will require a moderate to high level of support. 😉

    Just doing a status update to see where you are at with this thing. Let me know where you are at.
