Rewrite rules breaking wp-admin

Our client is having quite an odd issue; when trying to visit pages within wp-admin, pages often load for several minutes, then return a WordPress 404. I believe I’ve tracked this down to your rewrite rules, at includes/class-geodir-permalinks.php at lines 398–400 and 732. In particular, this appears to occur on URLs without query strings, such as wp-admin/plugins.php or wp-admin/themes.php, and doesn’t seem to occur on URLs like wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page, but we could be mistaken about that.

Using Query Monitor, we can see that when wp-admin/plugins.php 404s, for example, that two rewrite rules match for that URL. We believe your rewrite rules need to exclude the wp-admin directory, or possibly any URL with .php, We’re not sure which would be preferable.

We’ve spent about 5 hours at this point trying to track this down, and we’re about 80% sure it’s this plugin causing the issue, but we’ll try to do more testing and report back as soon as we can; the issue is somewhat intermittent, so it’s difficult to test.
