I suggest you to please clear browser cache, clear any cache plugin’s cache content or try the quiz in the Incognito mode to check if the issue appears in incognito mode or not. * Please let me know. * Kind regards, Kriti * Thread Starter [ebody](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ebody/) * (@ebody) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-does-a-login-window-appear/#post-13686786) * I have deleted the browser cache. Tested the incognito mode. CTRL + Shift + R tried, but the problem remains. * I can’t find a cache folder under /wp-content/ which I can delete. In the dashboard I can’t find a possibility to delete the cache of plugins. * You can test it here. * [https://www.ausgabencheck.de/spuelmaschine-kaufen-tipps-worauf-man-achten-sollte/#quiz](https://www.ausgabencheck.de/spuelmaschine-kaufen-tipps-worauf-man-achten-sollte/#quiz) * Best regards, ebody * [expresstechsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/expresstechsupport/) * (@expresstechsupport) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-does-a-login-window-appear/#post-13688587) * Hi [@ebody](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ebody/), * I clicked above link and I am able to access the quiz.

The QSM plugin shows a text message for non-logged-in users as I have shared in my previous screenshot. * I tried to inspect your website’s code using Google Developer tools but I could not maybe because of restriction on your website. * I suggest you to please get your website checked from your developer why the login screen is appearing on your page because QSM login screen does not pop up like this. * Regards, Kriti * Thread Starter [ebody](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ebody/) * (@ebody) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-does-a-login-window-appear/#post-13709547) * Hi, * the website was checked from the qsm support. The problem was that i protect the /wp-admin/ directory per htaccess. * > Login window comes up because when you have protection for the wp-admin directory, > you also protect the admin-ajax.php, which is used by all the plugins that > use the ajax to load a new page without refreshing the new page, just like > the new question on the same page without refreshing the page in QSM. * I have deleted the htaccess in /wp-admin/ and now it works! * Thank you very much and best regards, ebody - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [ebody](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ebody/).
