    Hello again!

    So we’re running into an issue that we hadn’t noticed until a couple of weeks ago and are just now getting around to looking into it. We have an htaccess file that seems to be interfering with users trying to look at the listings while not on our network. When they go to the page with the job listings, the loading circle just spins forever.

    This is the htaccess file we keep in wp-admin.

    # ALLOW USER BY IP
AuthName "Access Control"
AuthType Basic
ErrorDocument 403 /errorpages/403.html
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from <our ip>
</Limit>

    Maybe things have changed and we need to modifiy it but we were just wondering what the plugin is accessing in the admin folder.

    We use the ajax API which uses admin-ajax.php https://codex.wordpress.org/AJAX_in_Plugins

    We added this to the htaccess file and it’s working now, thanks again!

    <Files admin-ajax.php>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Files>

    Hi,
    i have the same problem when i use folder restrictions access for both the entire site (testing version) and wp-admin folder only and i tried to add your code to the htaccess but the loading circle keeps spining forever.
    The only difference for me is that i am using a user/password restrict access, not IP.
    Can you please give us more details about your htaccess file ?
    thanks
