Add Media broke for me as well with wp-ids active. It kept redirecting out of the admin to the website.

I updated the Plugin Compatibility page in the WordPress Codex to reflect that this plugin breaks the WP 2.5-2.6.x media loader. No disrespect intended. There’s just no news of a fix or patch, so WP admins need to know.

When you have installed Wordpress 2.6 WP-IDS disables picture upload and blocks the bot-tracker plugin. Very sad! So i had to uninstall WP-IDS.

Anyone having problems with this plugin not creating the necessary database tables upon activation?

sorry for the second comment…

i found this in the config file:
filter_path = /full/path/to/IDS/default_filter.xml

looks like one would need some additional steps to configure phpids.
or is this file out of use?

now i found a default_filter.xml somewhere, but there is also a json file, what one is used, and where do i get the new json file?

the admin page tells me there is a new version of the filter available.
it links me to a xml file, but i cant find where to place it, it looks like you’re using a JSON file.

please help, i don’t like having an old filter file.

With the Centrifuge of PHPIDS it’s possible to detect intrusions which you didn’t stopped with mod_security, as you forgot some Rule, or the attack vector may be totally legit within mod_security, but does contain harm potential.
IpTables at all isn’t able to filter any Bad Input through your Open Ports(it only decides which ports are open), nor would I at all say that these Both share the same intented usage. IpTables is like the House, and WPIDS/Mod_Security are the bouncers who keep the Bad guys out.

What’s the additional benefit of this to someone who uses mod_security and iptables and the like at a server level?

It seems me a good plug in but i m looking for a plugin that can find the illegal use from the IPS so that i can block them, as i m facing lots of unknown resource sharing.
