    I have installed this plugin and when i go to the settings sections of this plugin, and changed few settings and click on “Save All Settings”. The page reloads and show only this text: “Unauthorized access”.

    Although, I am only the administrator of my website.

    Could you please check. I have checked with disabling all the plugins and activated the default WordPress theme.

    Wordpress version is: 5.4.2 on PHP7.x

    Found the issue.

    On the file: go-viral/admin/classes/gws-adminmenu.php
    Line #151

    Their is a condition to check the “_wp_http_referer” against “/wp-admin/admin.php?page=go_viral”.

    Although, since my WordPress is installed in the sub-folder, it does not pass this authentication.

    I believe, instead of checking the request_uri, you should check the base name of the application to make sure that the request is not from the 3rd part source.

    Temporary, I have removed the condition of $_POST[‘_wp_http_referer’] and things are working fine. Hope in the next release this will consider with the optimum solution.

    Thanks,

    Thank You!. We had not pushed any update to this plugin due to busy schedule. New version released today fixes this issue.
