    Who is your web host?

    Are you running any security plugins?

    unixhost.pro
    nginx

    No plug-ins security. Administrator form is submitted, but not sent to unauthorized

    Thanks for the details.

    The plugin uses a common technique of sending the form to that admin URL to allow WordPress to handle the result then redirect back to the originating page. It’s effectively a shortcut; no admin data or functions are available.

    Please share these details with your web host technical support and ask if and when they disallow the POST method.

    that is, there is a possibility that if I logged on as an WP administrator all the work, and just a simple guest hotsing does not allow it to create one?

    Yes, that is possible. 405 is returned by the server. It can indicate a misconfigured server or an intentional blocking of whatever was requested of that server. In this case, a form POST to a WordPress admin URL if not logged in.

    This is the first time I’ve encountered this so I’m trying to find the cause in order to address it in the plugin.

    you may be interested in statistics or server php info. I can send it in the mail.

    I have another report of similar behavior, though not as precise as a 405 error. I will find another way to handle the form.

    Please try version 1.25.6 and let me know if you still experience this problem.
