    Hi,
    I secure my wp-admin folder with a password using the .htaccess and .htpasswd. If I activate a popup, it shows me the password prompt when displaying the popup. Why does it need access to wp-admin and can it be avoided?
    best regards
    Patrick

  • Hello @pb75,
    We calculate each popup view via the wp-admin/admin-ajax.php file and I thinkg that’s why you see the prompt window asking you to enter the password.
    To avoid that you can turn off popup statistics from the edit section of the popup.

    But please keep in mind that many plugins uses admin-ajax funcionality and you will face the same issue.
