SERIOUS PROBLEM – Broke e-commerce site at checkout because of 'hide-login' bugs

  • I received an email on Sunday morning (I wasn’t in my office of course) that his customers are reporting that they can’t complete the checkout process in his WooCommerce site. I was able to isolate the ‘hide backend’ feature as the culprit.

    A simple call to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php would display some wacky 404 page instead of ‘0’ like it should (which probably breaks most plugins out there!).

    Here’s admin-ajax’s output with the feature turned on that used to work under better-wp-security:

    <!DOCTYPE html>

<!-- And that's the fatal error that killed it^ :( -->

  • I am having the same problem … calling /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php returns an error.

    In searching through the code, it appears the problem is found in the following location (below). To test it, I commented out this section of code and the other plugins using admin-ajax.php worked fine. I’m not a programmer, so for all I know, commenting out these lines might disable the entire backend functionality which is why the other plugins are now working. However, someone with some programming knowledge might be able to hack together a work-around.
