Whitelist for dummies
-
Hi,
Thanks for creating this plugin. I really love it.
The only thing that I can’t figure out is the whitelist option. I have a WordPress multisite. I’m trying to white list http://shop.easyorange.nl/dealers and entered the following to my functions.php.
Caution: I am an absolute noob when i comes to code…
/**
* Filter Force Login to allow exceptions for specific URLs.
*
* @return array An array of URLs. Must be absolute.
**/
function my_forcelogin_whitelist( $whitelist ) {
$whitelist[] = (‘https://shop.easyorange.nl/dealers’);
$whitelist[] = (‘www.drinkflesgroothandel.nl/easyorangeshop/dealers’);
return $whitelist;
}
add_filter(‘v_forcelogin_whitelist’, ‘my_forcelogin_whitelist’, 10, 1);I also tried:
$whitelist[] = site_url( ‘/dealers/’ );Both with no effect. I keep getting the login screen.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I’m glad you like my plugin!
Your code was very close. Try the first snippet you pasted but without the parentheses and make sure the URL path is absolute (including ‘http://’):
/** * Filter Force Login to allow exceptions for specific URLs. * * @return array An array of URLs. Must be absolute. **/ function my_forcelogin_whitelist( $whitelist ) { $whitelist[] = 'https://shop.easyorange.nl/dealers'; $whitelist[] = 'http://www.drinkflesgroothandel.nl/easyorangeshop/dealers'; return $whitelist; } add_filter(‘v_forcelogin_whitelist’, ‘my_forcelogin_whitelist’, 10, 1);Also, instead of using the
site_url()function, you could try thenetwork_site_url()function since this is for a multisite install.However, you may be better off with the first whitelist example you pasted because the
network_site_url()function might whitelist the path “/dealers/” for all of your network sites; unless you wrap it in a conditional statement to only whitelist that URL for a specific site.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/network_site_urlThe craziest thing happened overnight. The first URL that I white listed suddenly doesn’t get white listed any more…
Current code, which was working 24 hours ago:
/** * Filter Force Login to allow exceptions for specific URLs. * * @return array An array of URLs. Must be absolute. **/ function my_forcelogin_whitelist( $whitelist ) { $whitelist[] = 'https://shop.easyorange.nl/dealers/'; $whitelist[] = site_url( '/bedankt-voor-je-aanvraag/' ); $whitelist[] = site_url( '/mijn-account/lost-password/' ); return $whitelist; } add_filter('v_forcelogin_whitelist', 'my_forcelogin_whitelist', 10, 1);URL 2 and 3 are white listed. If I change the first URL to the same form as the second two it does not work.
Weird science.. help would be appreciated!
Have you tried enabling WP_DEBUG mode to see if your site is throwing any errors?
https://codex.wordpress.org/WP_DEBUGIf the site is throwing errors, try fixing those first.
Or, maybe there is a conflict with another plugin or your theme?
To test for a theme conflict:
- Activate default Twenty Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, or Fourteen theme
- Check to see if the issue still occurs
- If the issue does not occur after having activated the default “Twenty” theme, your theme is causing a conflict with Force Login.
To test for a plugin conflict:
- Deactivate ALL plugins
- Activate Force Login
- Check to see if the issue occurs
If the issue does not occur, one (or more) of your plugins is causing a conflict with Force Login.
To determine which plugin(s) is causing the conflict, follow these steps:
- Activate each plugin one by one
- Check to see if the issue occurs after each plugin is activated
I am a web consultant by trade and I could look into it further if you like.
Send me a message on Slack @kevinvess to get into the details of your website. Thanks!
