-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Forbidden You don't have permission to access this resource.

In reviewing my email overrides, I have run into two issues.
  1. I am unable to save changes to any of them or even click on the Cancel button without getting a "You don't have permission to access this resource." error. I checked file and folder permissions and those look proper. I have to download the files via FTP, edit them and upload to get around this issue.
  2. When trying to "See Modifications", while using the dark theme, the text is unreadable. The dark theme is not being applied. I have to switch to light theme so see them.

I also notice the theme issue when viewing an email in the Email Log.

Hi,

It's likely an issue with a security mechanism on your server which blocks the request.

Knowing your recent issues with payment methods ( www.hikashop.com/forum/install-update/91...im-error.html#371558 ) checking email overrides is indeed a good idea.
I would even recommend to try to disable all the email overrides (rename the "modified" files) and see if the payment methods work.

Regarding the See modifications popup display in dark mode, that's something we fixed in HikaShop 6.4.1, which we just released yesterday. It displays like this now: i.imgur.com/oSfJVLw.png

Regarding the email history, I'm not able to reproduce the issue:

You might have a problem with the email generation, which would go back to what I was saying above with email overrides.

I turned off RSFirewall and still get that forbidden error.

I installed 6.4.1 and still have these theming issues.

Hi,

Turning off RSFirewall doesn't necessarily mean that you turned off all the plugins (especially the system plugins) associated with it which can still handle the security on your website. I would recommend trying again turning off both the component AND its system plugins.

Regarding the theming issues, it could be a CSS override issue. Do you have the "Back-end CSS File" setting set to "default" in the HikaShop configuration ? If not, try to change it to default and see if that helps.

I turned off RSFirewall's active scanner and disabled all of its plugins. Still I get the Forbidden error.

Changing to the default backend CSS fixed the theming issue with the Emails "See Modifications". However, I still see the issue with the email log page.

Hi,

I'm out of ideas for both remaining issues.
Could you provide a backend access via our contact form in order to check on the situation ?

I found these examples in the error log file for my IP address. Clicking on the Save button is one issue. I am surprised about getting Forbidden error just clicking on the Cancel button. I would think that would just be a simple forward back to the Emails page.
Code:

I'm not worried about the email log theming issue. I rarely look at that page.

Hi,

So it is indeed a security mechanism, as I was suspecting, but it comes from mod_security setup on your server, not RSFirewall.
You should whitelist your IP address in mod_security:

I was able to get our webhost to whitelist us. So, I can now use that functionality without error.

If you want to track down that theming issue with the email log, attached are some examples. It affects some emails and not others and then only if using Dark theme. They all look fine in Light theme.

Hi,

Since I'm not able to reproduce the issue on my end, I would need a backend and a FTP access on your website in order to look into this.
Could you provide these via our contact form ?

Thanks for figuring out that it is a email template issue. Is there a default for that other than None?

Hi,

Well, the default one is "default", not "None". So yes. That also means that if you have it to "None", it means that you must have changed it to "None" at some point in the past for some reason.

Must have been quite some time ago, if that is the case. Got it ironed out now. Thanks.
