New Header Locked Me out of my Site

  • Hello,

    I recently installed a new header on my site (nickpanico.com) using the HTTP Headers WordPress plugin, and now it requires a username and password. I entered all the credentials I knew, but I still cannot access my WordPress site’s front end and admin view.

    How can you help me remove this header? Please provide me with the credentials to enter my site and instructions on removing this header that requires me to log in. What is the name of this header? Please help ASAP!

    (Please see screenshot link here)

    Regards,

    Nick

    Edit your .htaccess file and remove everything enclosed in HttpHeaders comments.

    Thanks! I tried looking for my .htaccess?file to make edits to it, but I could not find it. Here is a screenshot of my files. Where will the .htaccess?file be? I looked everywhere.

    See this link screenshot.

    Thanks!

    Usually the .htaccess file is placed in the web root directory of your website. If you’re unable to find it on your own ask your hosting provider/administrator.

    Hello, thanks.

    I was able to access and remove the headers in the .htaccess file; however, my site (nickpanico.com) is asking for a username and password. I accidentally enabled something on the HTTP Headers WordPress plugin.

    (Please see screenshot link here).

    Do you or anybody know how to remove this credentials prompt and what my username & password could be? Thanks!

    Can you post the active .htaccess file here please? (Delete anything sensitive)

    Hi @sithvicious & @zinoui – thanks for your help!

    I’ve linked here the active?.htaccess?file. I already removed some of the security headers in the file. Please remove the code that is causing me the log-in prompt issue on my website, nickpanico.com.

    Thank you!

    Best Regards,

    Does anybody know what my username and password could possibly be since I’m locked out of my website?

    I already triend my WordPress admin credentials and cPanel credentials and they do not work. Again, I accently enabled a header in this WordPress plugin and now it locked me out of my website and I do not know my credentials nor how to take off this username and password prompt.

    this is my site: nickpanico.com

    Please help!

    To reveal your username and password just run the following SQL query:

    SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name IN ('hh_www_authenticate_user', 'hh_www_authenticate_pswd');

    I have this exact problem and did the same as you, have you found a solution to get back into your site?

    OK so I located the .htaccess file in file manager (make sure you go into the top right settings button, and click show hidden files) I’ve deleted everything with httpheaders and saved it. I can now get back into my website… phew!! but had to deactivate the plugin as it removed my theme customisation.
