Can't update website from outside the network. pfSense is blocking

We have a wordpress site that employees can access internally and externally to update their respective information as needed.  We can log in to the site and make updates internally but employees can't do it when they are external.

The site is reachable externally and they can log in to see everything but even if they try to upload any file at all, it just spins and says that the file is uploading but it never leaves the screen that says it's updating.

Interestingly enough, the file transfer actually does complete for some users but they end up getting blocked by pfSense.

I have tried this from home and my PC gets blocked by Snort with this message:
(http_inspect) BARE BYTE UNICODE ENCODING - 10/31/14-15:10:57

On the Snort alerts, my IP is listed like this:
Date                  Pri      Proto      Class                                       Source               SPort           Destination            DPort      SID

Any direction would be helpful.
