Problems with Wordfence

    Hi!

    I’m using the latest version of Polylang and must say, that everything works great so far. Thank you for this great plugin! Possibly I’ve found a tiny bug when editing posts with the QuickEdit Option (changed author and Tags), but I need more time to observe this behavior and the exact mechanics. Because sometimes it works and sometimes I mess the two (en,de) posts up. Nothing really important.

    But the reason I’m here is that i wanted to inform you about an incompatibility with wordfence I guess. When I activate this plugin I get the .htaccess prompt all over my website – on every site and post, though I can access the site by hitting esc. Possibly its more a problem on the wordfence side – I just wanted to tell you, and/or ask, if some others have observed this issue.

    Of cause I had disabled all other plugins and the other requirements of posting here seem irrelevant.

    best regards

    I never heard of such issue. I tested Wordfence 3.8.8 with Polylang 1.1.6 and 1.2.2 on WP 3.7.1 and did not observe any issue.

    In changelog for Wordfence 3.8.4, we can read

    Removed Wordfence .htaccess because it doesn’t offer any security functionality and increases incompatibility

    Could it come from this?

    Hey!
    So wordfence had it’s own .htaccess and overwrote my old one?

    Anyway, I just want to secure my admin folder with a password using .htaccess. Even with the latest version I have thi wierd behaviour, but only if polylang is enabled as well. Even now with 3.8.8 I get a login prompt on any site (which I can close with ‘esc’ – website is working then?!)…
    Shall I remove the .htaccess file and use wordfence or the other way around?
