 * BPS Security conflicts now with my Wp-Realty Plugin. When I try to call for a
   search, i get 403 access denied. However, when I deactive the secure root HTACCESS
   file and go back to the wordpress default it works just fine.
 * Is there a rewrite rule we can put in to skip over this plugin or?

 * you can see it here: [http://www.ml33913.com/realestate/](http://www.ml33913.com/realestate/)
 * Run any query and you see the 403 error. Now, when I deactivate it, it works 
   just fine.

 * You will need to modify these BPS security filters in your Root .htaccess file.

       Before modification

       After modification
       RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(\(|\)|<|>|%3c|%3e).* [NC,OR]
       RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(\x00|\x04|\x08|\x0d|\x1b|\x20|\x3c|\x3e|\x7f).* [NC,OR]
