HI,
We have the wp-admin directory protected by a password with .htaccess.

The button does not load unless I disable the .htaccess password file. Is there a way to have the plugin work without having to downgrade security?

  • Hi rsdesign ,

    Sorry for the late reply!

    Buttonizer uses the Ajax functionality in WordPress. Meaning that it uses admin-ajax.php which is located in the wp-admin directory.

    It seems that it's possible to allow access just to that specific file by adding a couple lines of code into your .htaccess.

    Go to https://www.wpwhitesecurity.com/securing-wordpress-wp-admin-htaccess/ and scroll down to

    Allowing front end Ajax functionality

    Please let me know if this works! 😁
