Wifi vs Cellular

[Scott Lucente]

We’re having issues with our calendar advancing to the next month when we’re off our local wifi (in mobile).

Hey Scott,

Thanks for posting here.

Do I understand correctly that you can go to next month in the month view when you are using a WiFi connection (or cabled), but when you are on mobile network, then you cannot?

Do you get an error message? Maybe is there an error in the web dev tools console of your browser?

What device are you using, a PC or a mobile / tablet?

Thanks,

Andras

Well, that’s what we thought, but it turns our we were wrong. I was limiting access to my wp-admin folder to only certain IPs for security reasons. And when I remove those limitations, it works. So it seems the plugin must be accessing something within wp-admin when you advance the month.

Is there a certain file(s) in wp-admin that I can allow access to, while still limiting everything else for security?

Thanks.

I will need to check that with a dev. I ask for your kind patience!

Thanks!
A.

I did some searching and found that plugins sometimes need access to this file… admin-ajax.php

So I added the following code to my /wp-admin/.htaccess file and it seems to be working now…

deny from all
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

<Files admin-ajax.php>
order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Files>

So this is limited access to the directory, except for the admin-ajax.php. Looks like it solved the issue.

Thanks,
Scott
