    Great plug in and I really like it.

    However, anonymous users are unable to access the Dave’s WordPress Live Search. They are continuously prompted to enter server credentials / authorization. (the authorization dialogue box pops up)

    Everything else on the wordpress site is working smoothly just this is my one kink.

    Any suggestions please would be so very appreciated.

    Without so much as a link to your site it’s almost impossible to diagnose. But when I see something line that it’s usually because someone followed directions to password protect the wp-admin directory without carving out an exception for admin-ajax.php, which is WordPress’ preferred way of handling AJAX requests (at least until the REST API matures a bit more).

    If that’s the case, this article explains how to set up an exception for the admin-ajax.php file.

    Well I did not follow any directions to use what I have known about for years upon years. WordPress on the other hand does not make it very clear as to what a person does once password protecting a directory etc.

    I certainly appreciate the link. It did fix it … so far.

    And your plugin now works great for anons.

    Thumbs up again thanks.
