# plugin breaks “set feature image” functionality

 * Since upgrading to WordPress 5.5, I am no longer able to set a feature image.
 * See an example of what that looks like [here](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/51000/chrome_Fv0lQd0eLO.png).
 * As you can see from the screen shot, the “set feature image” button simply remains
   inactive.
 * Also, the usual image information on the right, once an image has been selected,
   is missing.
 * This issue occurs on different sites which run on completely different hosting
   servers.
 * By deactivating and then reactivating one plugin at a time, I was able to pinpoint
   the cause of the issue to AIOWPS.
 * When I deactivate it, everything works as expected again.
 * Activating it causes the issue again.
 * Even if I don’t restore the previous rules after reactivating it (meaning just
   activating it in vanilla mode), it still breaks the set feature image functionality.
 * Thank you for your help!

 * Hi,
 * Just for testing purposes, can you test one of WordPress default themes like 
   Twenty Nineteen? Let me know what happens.

 * Hi!
 * I am using a default WP theme already (which is up-to-date), and I have been 
   using this same theme before and after the WP 5.5 upgrade, so the theme cannot
   be the reason.
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * If you disable all Firewall rules, does that fixes your issue?

 * Hi,
 * no, just disabling the plugin altogether fixes the issue.
 * Thanks!

 * same problem, it’s definitely a plugin issue since it disappears as soon as I
   deactivate the plugin.

 * Hi,
 * Can you disable all other plugins except ours, then carry out a test. Let me 
   know what happens.
 * Thank you
