Well, it's definately the .htaccess file. Removed it and xcloner worked fine.

Here below is the suspect code.  Note: I don't include my 301 redirect and W3 total Cache. I don't think there at issue.

 

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# FILTER REQUEST METHODS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} ^(TRACE|DELETE|TRACK) [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]

# QUERY STRING EXPLOITS
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \.\.\/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} boot\.ini [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} tag\= [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ftp\:  [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} http\:  [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} https\:  [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|%3D) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(\[|\]|\(|\)|<|>|’|"|;|\?|\*).* [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*("|'|<|>|\|{||).* [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(%0|%A|%B|%C|%D|%E|%F|127\.0).* [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(globals|encode|localhost|loopback).* [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(request|select|insert|union|declare|drop).* [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]

As i would suspect is one of the #FILTER REQUEST METHODS methods, so try commenting them all, and then enabling them one by one and see which one might get you that message.

Respectfully, at this stage your expertice is required or someone who understands Apache.  A workaround is what's in order.

See wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bulletproof-security/  .

How 'bout you contact the plugin's developer, Ed Alexander; see ait-pro.com/about/ .

After having a closer look at the .htaccess query, the actual issue in caused by the default file-naming of the backup which might contain the word "drop", name which is banned in your .htaccess file, line

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(request|select|insert|union|declare|drop).* [NC]

 

Renamig your backup files to something more appropriate for your system will help, either when generating the backup or after in your View Backups screen; either way, the delete function is still working, backups being deleted properly.

Huh?  I'm sorry.

"Renamig your backup files to something more appropriate for your system will help."

I name the backup by date, e.g. 10-4-743.  What do you suggest?

As i specified above, removing the drop or nodrop from the backup filename will help.

Also, i also discovered that the .htaccess rules they created also blocks the "File(s) deleted" message because of the (s) from the url. I would advise contacting the developers for a fix as that is not indicating an exploit in this case. I will look into getting that adjusted into a future version

Hi,

Ed from AITpro here.  Happened to come across this post in my travels.

I think your problem is this  - You have 2 RewriteRule entries

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Thanks,

Ed >>> Cool
