Admin links to wp-admin not working

  • Resolved jakevoelcker

    3 years, 9 months ago

    I have several bookmarks and email links to things like:
    /wp-admin/post.php?post=123&action=edit
    /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=product&orderstock=1

    After hiding my wp-admin page, these links no longer work unless the admin is already logged in.

    If I change the links above to point to my new admin page, then it doesn’t work for admins who are already logged in.

    Is there a way of fixing this?

    Hi. I’m using the “Rename Login Page” feature. Thanks!

    Hi,

    I have several bookmarks and email links to things like:
    /wp-admin/post.php?post=123&action=edit
    /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=product&orderstock=1

    After hiding my wp-admin page, these links no longer work unless the admin is already logged in.

    Those links will not work anymore. When you enable the Rename Login Page feature, the links become.

    /secretword/post.php?post=123&action=edit
    /secretword/edit.php?post_type=product&orderstock=1

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestion, but that only works if the admin is logged out.

    Once logged in, link such as:
    /secretword/post.php?post=123&action=edit
    /secretword/edit.php?post_type=product&orderstock=1

    Result in a 500 Internal Server Error

    Hi, can you provide more information. Are you trying to add links while logged in or links while logged out? Also what is it that you are trying to achieve?

    Thank you

    My workflow is:
    1. Admin receives an email saying e.g. “Product XYZ is low in stock, click here to order more https://domain.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=product&orderstock=1
    2. If the admin is not logged in, WP will ask them to log in. Once logged in, it will then redirect them to https://domain.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=product&orderstock=1
    3. If the admin is already logged in, they will just see https://domain.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=product&orderstock=1 immediately

    This works on a standard wordpress and woocommerce install.

    But once I have “Rename Login Page” turned on, the link above doesn’t work for logged out admins (it says “Not available”).

    If I change the link to https://domain.com/secretpage/edit.php?post_type=product&orderstock=1 then it works for logged out admins, but it breaks if the admin is already logged in (it says “500 Internal Server Error”).

    Is there a way of getting the email link to work for both logged in and logged out admins?

    I have submitted a message to the plugin developers to investigate your issue further.

    Thank you
