Hide Login Area Exception

  • Hey,

    I am using the iThemes security plugin and have the Hide Login Area module enabled. However I have a plugin that uses the wp-admin/admin-post.php functionality which should also be available for visitors who are not logged in.

    The plugin uses admin_post_nopriv_{$action} in an add_action. When the Hide Login Area module is disabled it works, but when it is enabled iThemes will protect te page and visitors who are not logged in will see an error message.

    Is there a way to add an exception to calls to wp-admin/admin-post.php with specific action variables? So that these will not be protected and visitors will not see the error page?

    Does somebody know a way to accomplish this?
    Is this feature already in iThemes?
    If not is there a plan to add it to iThemes?

    Thank you in advance for your help

    Have you already tried something with the Hide Backend Enable Redirection and
    Redirection Slug settings ?

    Thank you for your reply.
    Yes I have tried and played with the settings. However it is not clear to me what the setting Custom Login Action is supposed to do.

    I have looked at the php code of the plugin and I can’t find anything about the ability to add exceptions to the redirecting. If this functionality is not in the plugin I guess this would be more of a feature request.

    Are you a developer of this plugin or just a really active member on the WordPress support forums? I could try and make a pull request for this feature?
    I can change it for my own website, but then my client would not be able to update the plugin or my changes would be overwritten.
