Instagram authentication issue

  • When trying to authenticate an Instagram account, then return link lacks the correct target page and instead shows a “You’re not authorised to view this page” message. If I manually change the link at this point to target “photonic-auth”, then my token is correctly displayed and I can save it.

    If I re-attempt the authentication, sometimes the link works ok, but often it does not.

    See this screenshot which highlights the issue; https://imgur.com/2qFgHFt

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    This is not happening due to Photonic – there is probably a different plugin that is stripping out some of this information from your site. Take a look at the code which builds the redirection URL. It explicitly sets the redirection page using admin_url('admin.php?page=photonic-auth'). This code has not changed since the last several months.

    If you have a different plugin (typically a security plugin) that does not let you access URLs with page= appended, then that would typically cause this issue.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick response. I have no other plugins like that (I like to use as few plugins as possible, where appropriate). The plugins I do have are contact form, cache and ACF – I can’t see them doing this sort of thing.

    Either way, I’m personally happy to workaround this. I just thought you might want to look into it in case there is some other incompatibility issue (I’m on WP 5.6, btw).

    All the best,
    Joe
