    As their support told me about this plugin, it doesn’t support HTTP Authentication: a must have for security on WordPress.

    Edit: actually they support HTTP Authentication, you just need to adapt your weberver’s configuration to let FluentForms accepts authentication. I’d like to thank Fluent Forms’ support to their excellent support.

    I am a Fluent Form user who happily uses HTTP Auth together to protect WP login page.

    Are you using HTTP Auth to protect WordPress Login Page?
    – If yes, you need to ensure that you do not accidently block the ajax request path.

    Here’s a proper way to setup HTTP Auth for NGINX 

    location ^~ /wp-login.php {
satisfy any;
allow 127.0.0.1;
deny all;
 auth_basic           "Secure Area";
 auth_basic_user_file /var/www/.htpasswd; # Path to your password file
 fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
 include fastcgi_params;
 fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
 fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}

    Here’s a proper way to setup HTTP Auth for Apache2 server

    <Files wp-login.php>
AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
AuthName "Private access"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
</Files>

    Hi Gulshan!

    Thank you for your suggestions, but it still doesn’t work.

    I’m using Nginx as a web server. I tried your solution and many others, playing around for 2 hours, with no solution.

    I think I’m gonna leave Fluent Forms…

    Thank you anyway!
