 * Hi there,
 * when i configure the plugin “All In One WP Security & Firewall” there is a firewall
   option “DENY BAD QUERY STRINGS” and in there is an “encode” entry.
 * So when activating this option the settings page the functionality of your plugin
   is broken.
 * i can [work arround](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-security-blocking-paypal/#post-9382731)
   by copying the htaccess result into the custom rules part and remove “encoder”
   from the list and deactivating the rule.
 * But i think it may causes lesser security then and is not update able, which 
   leaves me to think about removing your plugin.
 * that said, the only solution i can imagine is to remove the string “encoder” 
   from the URLs and requests of your plugin.

 * I’ve looked into this, unfortunately the plugin slug itself is `email-address-
   encoder` and that’s why activating the plugin triggers AIOWSF 😐
 * However `encode` was remove from all urls, so it should only trigger once during
   activation.

   for other plugin authors)
 * kind regards

 * When i search for “encoder” in the wp-plugins directory i get 2 pages of results.
 * Maybe a whitelisting for the specific plugin names would be an option (on AIOWPS
   side).

 * I did ask them about a year ago, they didn’t seem to care. You’re welcome to 
   open another topic and I’ll chime in 👍🏻
