This is the correct thing for the settings page to do. From the options.php file
* This file is also the target of the forms in core and custom options pages
* that use the Settings API. In this case it saves the new option values
* and returns the user to their page of origin.
Further down in the page it attempts to do a redirect to the referring page. Is it possible the referer isn’t getting set correctly?
fyi here is how wp gets the referer
function wp_get_referer() {
$ref = '';
if ( ! empty( $_REQUEST['_wp_http_referer'] ) )
$ref = $_REQUEST['_wp_http_referer'];
else if ( ! empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ) )
$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if ( $ref !== $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] )
return $ref;
return false;
}
I’m also getting a similar problem.
WordPress 3.4.2
Postie 1.4.5
When I attempt to save the mail server settings on a brand new install, I get 403 error messages for <domain name>/wp-admin/options.php
I have an older Postie install on a sub-domain, setup a long time ago but updated to the current version for WordPress and Postie which is apparently working correctly but I haven’t attempt to reset the mail server settings in the sub-domain installation because I don’t want to break access.
Try accessing <domain name>/wp-admin/options.php directly. A 403 is a forbidden error, could mean permission issues.
Hi
Direct access to the /wp-admin/options.php page redirects me to the admin login page (I wasn’t logged in when I manually entered the URL) and then on to the options.php page giving me the list of options.
I don’t know if you would expect to see any Postie relate settings in the output of options.php but there weren’t any listed.
I think my issue was a permissions issue, it’s now been resolved by tech support at my web host.
I’m waiting to hear back as to what the cause was and I’ll post back here if I think it’s a relevant to Postie in general.
Thanks for letting us know.
I’ve heard back, they have disabled mod_sec for my entire account.
