Password doesn’t work on mobile

Ok, I have now worked out that it is an issue with pages that have PPWP on them do not redirect to the secure https:// version of the site (all other pages on the site redirect automatically).

Again, this only happens in mobile browsers.

Hi @mikehaysom,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Do you mind providing us with the page URL so that we can double-check it for you?

You may want to drop us an email to hello(at)preventdirectaccess.com so that we can reply to you faster.

The PPWP plugin prevents the redirect to https

Thanks, @mikehaysom.

I see. The reason is we redirect users back to where they come from, which is the http URL.

If that’s the case, you should force your site to redirect to https (SSL) in the first place.

Keeping both http and https version of your website leads to duplicate content and would hurt your site SEO badly.

Hope it helps.

I think you misunderstand. If you visit any other page of my website you will see that the redirect is already there, however, on the page where your plugin is used, the redirect no longer works.

Hi Mike,

The reason why it looks like the redirect is already there is because your navigation is linked to https version.

If you access other pages via the http links, they do not redirect to https automatically.

Also, this is a secure version of your page protected by our PPWP plugin

Please let us know if this makes sense.

Although this is not related to our plugin, we’re more than happy to help if you find this too technical. Feel free to drop us an email to hello(at)preventdirectaccess.com, @mikehaysom

Thanks for replying, I see what you mean now when I access other pages from my mobile (the weird thing is if I followed the link in my desktop browser and it still redirected fine!). I updated my .htaccess and it works correctly on all platforms now.
Thanks for your help and apologies for wasting your time.

Mike.

No worries, Mike.

Feel free to reach out if you need any help.

By the way, if you’re happy with our plugin and support, can you please leave us a review here on WordPress, Mike?

Thanks in advance for your kind words, @mikehaysom
