Hi, please let us know your website’s wp-admin login details (as private reply), so that we can look into the issue. Also let us know the steps to re-generate the issue at our end. Thanks!

its not from admin side i think its from the plugin which block any access to wp-admin folder without login as admin, so the external api could not send request to wp-admin/admin-post.php?
i think that you have to add option to allow the access for ip’s
because every time when the API try to send request i get email from the plugin that there is some one try to mousing

Make sure that “Hide PHP Files” option under HMWP general settings tab is unchecked/disabled.
Also enable “trusted user roles” for all the user roles in Permalinks & urls tab.

i dont want all users see the wp-admin files, i think you have to add ip white list

[MorGan]

any way to allow some ip’s to connect to wp-admin files even if it from the plugin files ?

This is the trick:
wp-admin/admin-post.php?action=receive_new_items&hide_my_wp=1234

Add HMWP query path to the request 🙂
