HTTP Auth always redirect wp-login.php page.

Question

Hi all,

After I enabled HTTP Auth to protect wp-admin area, ever time when I try to login to my WordPress sites, it automatically redirect to wp-login.php page. I face this issue only on desktop, but on Android mobile there's no such a issue.

Thanks in advance.

I think it's a cookie error, add some of the code below to the wp-config.php file to handle this

define(‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’, ‘/’);

define(‘COOKIE_DOMAIN’, ”);

define(‘COOKIEPATH’, ”);

define(‘SITECOOKIEPATH’, ”);

Clear OPcache and try agan

Please, try different browsers, incognito mode, etc. maybe you are just having browser cache issues and it's not related with your server.

I am also facing the same problem.

Whenever a user click on logout It's asking for httpauth username and password. How can I manage this. URL hitting while clicking on Logout.

https://example.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fmy-account%2F&_wpnonce=fae7bffae8
