In that case, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to figure out what firewall settings are interfering with the subdomains.
Even if I can figure out what settings allow the apps on my other subdomains to function properly, that doesn’t mean that other applications installed in the future won’t have any problems.
To avoid the hassle in the future, I will simply remove AIOWPS and explore other options.
There really should be a way to prevent this plugin from interfering with anything beyond the WP instance it is installed on.
I’m sure I’m not the only one out there with non-WP apps running on subdomains.
To confirm… There is *no* way to prevent AIOWPS from interfering with subdomains?
As I said above, I’ve done that multiple times.
When having a problem with a subdirectory, one of the first things I do is remove all the lines added by AIOWPS from the .htaccess file.
If the problem on the subdirectory is resolved, I know that the problem was caused by one of the lines added by AIOWPS.
From there, I use the process of elimination to figure out which line is causing the issue and comment it out.
So far I’ve had to comment-out about 5-6 different lines in various sections of the .htaccess file to keep the apps on my subdomains working properly. I’d love to tell you which lines, but I just checked the .htaccess file and see that my changes have been automatically overwritten.
Hence my original question… How do I prevent AIOWPS .htaccess rules from affecting subdomains?
Yes, multisite using subdirectories rather than subdomains for sites.
Not sure which rules are to blame. There seems to be several that are added by AOIWPS that cause issues.
Usually, when an app on a subdomain isn’t working properly, the first thing I will do is delete all the rules added by AIOWPS from the .htaccess in the root directory. Very often, that fixes the issue. Then, I use a process of trial and error to figure out which line(s) need to be commented out.
Obviously, this process is onerous and I’d rather figure out a way to prevent the .htaccess rules from affecting subdomains at all.

In reply to: [WP Edit] Useless!@nullmem: Thanks for the warning, I’ll stay away from this one for now.
I don’t mind paying for plugins… However, when a developer is willing to purposefully cripple free (or lower-tier versions) by removing features, rather than simply making the premium versions better, I take that as a sign to stay away.
Nowadays, with the SaaS model becoming so prevalent, you need to pay extra-close attention to the businesses practices of the vendors before you get tied up with them.
@josh: You’re right, $280/yr is not a whole lot if you have dozens or hundreds of sites. But, you’ve got to remember that your plugin is just one of dozens of other premium themes and plugins that we may also be using — and it can add up very quickly.
Then, the issue is compounded given the frequency that vendors tend to change their licensing terms. Again, it goes back to what I was saying in regards to observing patterns of business practice — vendors who keep things as simple and consistent as possible are far more appealing.
I don’t want to have to worry about features that I’ve become reliant upon to be taken away and moved up the premium ladder at some point in the future (a pattern which already has precedence).
