[Plugin: BulletProof Security] 500 error

To allow this Theme to use the WP media-upload.php file without being blocked by BPS add this .htaccess bypass / skip code below to the wp-admin Custom Code box – CUSTOM CODE WPADMIN PLUGIN FIXES: and then activate BulletProof Mode for your wp-admin folder again. The skip rule must be [S=2] because it will be written to your wp-admin .htaccess file above skip / bypass rule [S=1]. This bypass / skip rule is safe to use because the wp-admin area is protected with WP Authentication security.

# Allow Theme to use media-upload.php bypass / skip rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (media-upload\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule . - [S=2]

And thank you for the excellent description of the issue. It makes providing the solution a no-brainer. 🙂

Good timing on posting your question that’s all. I was making my rounds and was checking the BPS posting area. 😉 I check it every 6 hours or if I get a reply to a post, so good timing.

Yep I’ve seen a very similar issue before so I already had the solution – just did a copy and paste here.

Custom Code that you save is permanently saved forever to your WP DB or until you delete it. Plugin Repository upgrading / updating from WP.org only replaces plugin files in the plugin folder and does not change or modify your WP DB settings / options.
