Exclude OAuth Redirect Authorization

[ResendEve]

OAuth requires a clear redirect authorization URL of a referring site. However, HideMyWP prevents any access to wp-admin without login. Thus, any OAuth authorization fails to redirect to its proper wp-admin setting page, because the authorization meets 404 every time it accesses a given redirect URL.

How to exclude particular access from a web-app that uses OAuth to a site with HideMyWP being activated?
Or, is there any technique or text I should add to the redirect URL to give access to the OAuth authorization?

Hi, currently there is no such option. If you are using oauth then you’ll need to deactivae Hide Admin option under HMWP general settings tab.

Can I use the HideMyWP’s query string parameter(s) introduced to the htaccess?
The idea is by using the “hidden access” covered by HideMyWP strings to inform the OAuth regarding the original redirect/fallback URI, and allowing an access to it by using HideMyWP hiding queries to reveal the original URI.

Hi, I’ve assigned this ticket to Sr. Support so that he can look further into it.

OK, looking forward to it.

Hi-

Just disable hide admin feature and full hide (general tab) and try again. Maybe even one of them can solve the problem.

Another idea is to add your secret and query to those URLs. Something like this:
domain.com/wp-admin/authorize/fb.php?token=123&hide_my_wp=1234
(hide_my_wp=1234 is the default key)

PS:
Do you mean that specific plugin copy a new file to your wp-admin folder? Then What’s the file name?
