Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[joepixel]

Has anyone had issues with CEON not playing well with Captcha? The Captcha field does not appear on the contact or create account page when the URI is set. I changed the URI for the contact page to /index.phpmain_pagecontact_us and the Captcha now appears. But, the login page does not show the Captcha and then errors out when a new account is created, showing that Captcha was not entered. I tried changing the URI mapping on both the login and create account pages with no luck. So, I had to disable Captcha on create account.

Did you try a thread search to search this thread for CAPTCHA? If this has been an reported issue you ahould find the info that way..

Hi Guys, installed the plugin, added the code for .htaccess - I have an issue. If i have yourdomain.co.uk/blog ect and it's now showing the page not found.

Any ideas on what to do, or could someone include a fresh .htaccess file?

Thanks.

What would be REALLY helpful is to post the .htaccess file.. (will keep folks from guessing a bit..) Also a link to the site would also help.. Are you sure the issue isn't with your blog's .htaccess file???

Hi Diva,

the link is: --- WARNING!! ADULT SITE! NSFW! http://naughtynightsuk.co.uk

If you try /competitions or /community ect you will see it comes up with the ZC sitemap.

I can confirm the directories are there.

Here's what's in the .htaccess file in the root.

I couldn't upload the file due to invalid extension.

... I'm trying to determine what code should be placed in the .httaccess file to prevent certain URI's containing certain character strings from rewriting. ...

# Don't rewrite URI if contains "x45poty" string 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/*x45poty* [NC]
...

If you want to exclude all URIs containing the string "x45poty" (case insensitive) use the following:

# Don't rewrite URI if contains "x45poty" string 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !x45poty [NC]

When checking I was able to get into the blog without any issues... Take it you were able to get things sorted? Without seeing the problematic behavior one can only guess what the problem was. Could you post what was needed for future readers of this thread?

Other thoughts:
When uploading I highly recommend using FTPS or SFTP with WinSCP, Filezilla, or similar. They do not care what the file extension is and using a secure version of FTP with an ecommerce site is always a good idea.

As for the matching to exclude the blog... Do you really have images for your blog at /wp-images instead of under /blog/wp-content? The less excludes, the simpler it will be to debug and the faster the request can be processed. If you want to exclude both /blog and /blog/someurl (some incoming links might incorrectly specify /blog instead of /blog/) you can change the RewriteCond for the blog to match the EOL or /.

# Don't rewrite blog directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/blog($|/) [NC]

I also noticed you are running multiple domains using nested Document Roots (public_html). This is not best practice and can lead to some negative situations. You may want to look into (or have your hosting provider) remove the nested Document Roots and provide separate physical paths for each domain. See this post for an example.

Hi.
Thanks for the advice.

The blog seems to run on and off, it's more the /competitions and /community that isn't working.

wp-images is for a different program altogether, not for WordPress.
