Incompatibilities

No developer would write this page, but incompatibilities happens. Here I’m trying to track down when Newsletter does not work properly due to interaction with other plugin.

Apache mod_security

Apache mod_security is a module which keep an eye on traffic and tries to sniff hacking attempt. But it can fail. For example if it see a request with a piece of text like “1=1” it believes it to be a SQL injection.

Newsletter administration panels use the jQuery UI tabs which set a cookie to remember the latest used tab and when the tab was the number 1 it write into the cookie tab_1=1. That triggers mod_security which drop the communication.

More details here. Of course it’s a clear fail of mod_security that should be reconfigured or disabled.

404 Redirection

When this plugin is installed it seems that subscription links which points directly to the Newsletter plugin folder are blocked. Try to disable it if you experince problem during subscription to verify if that is your problem. I have no checked the plugin code or configuration to see if it can be kept installed.

Permalink Redirect

This is an old plugin, actually it seems no more maintained. Anyway problems are present only if the plugin is configured to strip away query string parameters from URL. What happens is the inability to show the cancellation message to subscribers (and probably other newsletter messages) when a dedicated page is used.

You can disable the plugin, reconfigure it or not use a dedicated page but leaving Newsletter to use it’s own message page.

Theme My Login

The plugin, actually on version 6.3.1, wrongly intercept a Newsletter’s URL to profile edit page and redirect to another page. Hope they fix that since I should otherwise add an odd patch on my side with the risk to broke other plugins. 🙂
