Unable to make API request to Target system.

Further testing.

Tried disabling iThemes Security which is used to hide the /wp-admin and WordFence.

Both sites are using post name permalink setting.

Source website is on DesktopServer, Target is on live server.

We’re having a similar issue. Both instances are on the same server. The PROD server had frontend password protection as well as blocking /wp-admin from the world, however disabling both of these made no difference.

Admin login/password are definitely correct, but still seeing the “X” icon on pw field with the following error:

Settings do not authenticate on Target server

Is there anything we can do to debug the issue? Or anything we can start to look into? File permissions/ownership, etc.

Appreciate the help!

Hello bluedognz,

You may have to modify your .htaccess file back down to the basic. Because iThemes security still has all the rules left in there even when disabled.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

If this does not work please submit an issue with the target URL at:

Hello Victor Vargas,

Could you also send us the target URL via our contact form. It appears something is blocking the communication.
