BPS Pro 9.3/9.4

BPS Pro 9.4 is a quickie bugfix release:

The WordPress 4.0 Media Library was displaying blank due to an unclosed div in the BPS Pro Dashboard Status Display.

BPS Pro 9.3 Core Code Improvements/Enhancements:

Better, Faster, Stronger…

B-Core Security Modes AutoMagic Buttons:

BPS Pro automatically detects your site type and displays the correct AutoMagic buttons for your site type. Other site type AutoMagic buttons are no longer displayed on the Security Modes page. Single/Standard site types are all WordPress installation types that are not Network/Multisite installations of WordPress. Network/Multisite site types are all Network/Multisite Subdirectory/Subdomain WordPress installation site types.

Network/Multisite One Time Code Correction:

If you have a Network/Multisite website/installation of WordPress you will see a one time htaccess code correction Notice message displayed to you with steps to perform the one time code correction when you upgrade BPS Pro. Doing the code correction steps ensures that there are no old htaccess files or code remaining anywhere on your website. The Notice will go away automatically after doing the one time steps.

P-Security WordPress Debugging In-page Check:

This is an In-page check on P-Security pages only that is designed as a heads up that WordPress Debugging/Debug Logging is turned on and that php error logging is being logged to the /wp-content/debug.log file instead of the BPS Pro PHP Error Log file. Checks if WordPress Debugging/Debug logging is turned on and displays this message: WordPress Debugging / Debug Logging is turned On in your wp-config.php file (with additional help instructions). The “PHP Error Log Path Does Not Match” error message and this message will go away automatically once WordPress Debug Logging is turned Off.

Setup Wizard New Option:

Go Daddy Managed WordPress Hosting option: If you have Go Daddy “Managed WordPress” hosting, which is special type of hosting account and is not a regular/standard Go Daddy hosting account, then select Yes for this Setup Wizard option. The Go Daddy Managed WordPress option is an independent option meaning that you do not need to run the Wizards again after selecting Yes and saving this option, but you can of course run the Wizards again at any time.
