    Hi,

    The plugins worked great, until I started testing the mobile part… When I’m typing “WWW.mysite.com” it all works fine. But when I leave out the “WWW.” and just type “mysite.com” I get the login screen, while the / was put to the whitelist(and it works like that on my portable…)

    It’s kinda hard for me to figure out what is causing the issue. I’M quite new in the WordPress world…

    Thanks in advance for your help…

    If I understand correctly, you’re only having an issue on mobile devices and while visiting the site without the sub-domain of “www”?

    In your admin panel, under the General Settings section, what is your Site Address (URL) listed as? Does it include the “www” in the URL?

    If you’re using the site_url() function in your whitelist, it will whitelist the URL path using the domain name, specifically the Site Address (URL), you have set on the General Settings page.

    Could this be a DNS issue? Do you need to configure your DNS to point https://mysite.com to https://www.mysite.com? I don’t think you should be using both URLs independently, but rather pick one as the preferred URL and redirect the other to it.

    Hi, thanks for your reply. The issue was that my laptop’s browsers put www. automatically to mysite.com. My mobile browser doesn’t… For some reason this was causing issues with the plugin.
    Solution was to put www in front of the URL. I did it using httpd.conf…

    FYI, removing the www. in the site url in the admin panel solved the problem for the mobile devices, but then things stopped working for my laptop’s browser…
