Invoice link for customers (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php)

    We have protected the wp-admin folder of our site/store so that only specific IP addresses are allowed for managing the site and store, for security reasons.

    However, it turns out that the link to enable customers to download their invoices is /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=generate_wpo_wcpdf&document_type=invoice&order_ids=xxxxx&my-account&_wpnonce=xxxxxxxxxxx

    So this results in customers to be unable to download their invoices. Everything else in the My Account area works perfectly.

    Any hints on an extra entry in the .htaccess to allow public access to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=generate_wpo_wcpdf only?

    Although the name admin-ajax suggests differently, it is used for various other frontend (customer facing) processes. If you allow access to the admin-ajax.php file that should restore functionality.

    Thanks for the quick feedback. How do I allow access to that one file while still blocking access to everything else in wp-admin? I realize this is not a product specific question, more an Apache question…
