401 Error when not using HTTPS

    I am hosting my site on WPEngine and am getting a 401 error on the AJAX loading request when the site is not loaded with https. The plugin works great when using the secure domain, but the request just fails without it.

    The plugin works great locally, without an SSL certificate. WPEngine says there should be a setting within the plugin to turn off the SSL check but I am yet to find this option. Is there something I need to do to allow this plugin to work without an SSL certificate? Why would it work locally and not on the production server?

    Hi @tyb,

    WPEngine says there should be a setting within the plugin to turn off the SSL check

    Wonder why they said that… There is no setting for this in Ajax Load More.

    Your issue is that your WP Admin URL is using HTTPS so when the admin-ajax request is made the issue happens.

    My opinion is you should force https in either your htaccess file or reach out to WPEngine support and they may be able to help you.

    Cheers,
