For security reasons we password protected the wp-admin folder via .htaccess.
Since then the quick search always requires a login as soon as one enters 3 or more chars.
Is there any reason why the quick search tries to access the wp-admin folder?
Hey,
Because it uses the /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
file in order to get the results, i’d suggest using a pluign like this to protect the wp-admin area:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/protect-wp-admin/
