WP Hide -> Can’t access bo with wp-admin

Debug Code: wpstg-uBNccqVk-134622

Hi,

I am experiencing a specific issue with the interaction between WP Hide and WP Staging, which is affecting the accessibility of my staging sites. I use WP Hide for two main purposes on my production site: to create a new custom URL for accessing the WordPress admin area and to block access to the default “wp-admin” URL. This setup works perfectly on my production site. However, it leads to complications when creating staging sites with WP Staging.

Issue Description:

• On my production site, with WP Hide active, I have a custom admin URL set up and access to “wp-admin” blocked.
• When I create a staging site with WP Staging while these WP Hide settings are active, I am unable to access the admin area of the staging site using my custom admin URL. The blockage of “wp-admin” also applies to the staging site, which seems to prevent access through the custom URL.
• To access the admin area of the staging site, I have to temporarily disable the blockage of “wp-admin” on the production site, then create the staging site. This allows access to the staging site’s admin area, but it exposes the default admin URL on my production site, which is a security concern.

Details:

• WordPress Version: 6.4.1
• WP Staging Version: 3.1.3
• WP Hide Version: 6.2.8 (the last)

Question: Is there a way to ensure that the WP Hide settings (both the custom admin URL and the blockage of “wp-admin”) are retained and functional on the staging sites created with WP Staging? I am looking for a solution that allows me to maintain my security settings without compromising the functionality of the staging environment.

Maintaining the security of both my production and staging environments is crucial. I would greatly appreciate any guidance, workaround, or solution you could provide to help resolve this compatibility issue.

Thank you for your assistance and attention to this matter.
