 I'm experiencing lot of inconsistencies with EasyBlog 5. Blogs not getting saved, some other get in draft but cannot change to published, etc...

I made thorough requests and interaction with Stackideas Support Team so finally they arrived to the conclusion:

Regarding your issue, look like when there is a gallery block in the content, upon saving, the saving ajax request hits 403 forbidden error. Please see http://screencast.com/t/3uZ8qdDorZj I also noticed your site enabled the x-xss-protection so I not sure is this issue related to that or not.



Can you temporary disable the x-xss-protection and see if your issue still persist? If yes, then can you send me your FTP account so that I can investigate your issue further?


SO I checked and in the WAF section the XXS Shield is disabled as you can see in the first attached image.

Then went to .htacces maker and founs the setting Reflected XSS prevention setting which was set to YES. I disabled and made new .htaccess but nothing changes so I put it back to YES.

I also included

components/com_easyblog
media/com_easyblog

in all exception textareas. Nothing changed.

My main questions are:

Is there somewhere else in the Admin Tools where these XXS protection can be active?

Are you aware already of these problem with some other user?

Any suggestion?


Thank you.

Hello,

after performing a change in the .htaccess, please wait a couple of hours.
Some hosting cache the .htaccess file contents and it usually get some time before the changes take effect.
Please try again and wait a couple of hours.
If you still have the same issue, please try to replace your .htaccess file with the Joomla default one (and wait a couple hours). Do you still have the same issue?
