I had what sounds like the same problem. Using
?ao_noptimize=1did fix the problem in my case. Based on experimentation with the AO options, it appears the “Optimize HTML Code?” option was causing the problem for me. Thanks for the tip.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [iQ Block Country] IP range?@mtn “Sunrise, yes, some hackers go to the trouble of using a VPN, but most do not bother attacking low value sites that way. I get super results from country blocking, saves me hundreds of dollars in bandwidth I’d otherwise pay for.”
I’m glad you’re saving bandwidth cost, but my concern is more about security. Hackers definitely do use VPNs, proxies, US-based data centers and so on to attempt attacks against large numbers of US sites. Any site has value to a hacker when it becomes part of a large botnet that can be leased or otherwise used for spam, malware delivery, or to pivot to other ISP hacks. Given how cheap bandwidth is these days, if you are paying that much you must have a very large site that would be a juicy target for hackers.
For security purposes, I believe that blocking specific countries or IP ranges is not a great strategy.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] IP range?I’ve blocked all access to the backend except for specific IP addresses. As you’ve noticed, the hackers will just use US VPN exit nodes or other US-based gateways if you block the foreign access.

In reply to: [Redirection] Redirect to search, replace – with + using regexp?Something like?
Source URL: url.com/(some-not-found-page-title)
Target URL: url.com/?s=\1The regex group in the Source will replace the \1 in the Target.
And don’t forget to check the Regex box. 😉

In reply to: [Redirection] Broken IP in 404 log page?Nevermind, I think I know what happened. When I upgraded recently, the plugin attempted to modify the database tables. However, the WP user didn’t have permission to make schema changes, so that part of the update failed. I’ve added the permissions for the user, but I need to determine what table updates were attempted.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] IP range?I had a similar question.
I’m not the developer, but based on looking at the source code it doesn’t appear possible to use IP ranges or CIDRs for blacklist or whitelist options.
