    I’m having an issue with the Site Health Status. I keep getting the: “The authorization header is missing.” ever since upgrading to 5.6.1
    Tried flushing permalinks (several times).
    And fiddled with .htaccess adding all sorts of arguments such as: “SetEnvIf Authorization “(.*)” HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1″ to no avail.
    I did deactivate all my plugins one by one and tested each time. Same result.
    Tried the default theme 2021 to be exact. Still same result.
    What can be done to clear this issue? Much appreciated techies.

    Hi,

    Have you tried with this
    SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 in your .htaccess file? If not then try with this and let me know.

    Thanks!

    @jatindevani Hello there, thank you for coming back to me.
    I did paste the line you suggested twice, once after # END WordPress
    and the other time before it. In both cases I still get the same message on the site health status.

    May be you need to contact with your server admin or hosting provider they will help you more with this.

    Thanks!

    I did contact the support of my hosting provider, but I still would like to see what the WordPress community has to offer. As this issue is affecting three sites I manage, that don’t share the same theme, plugins or configuration!

    I am also managing 4-5 site’s in various location’s but I haven’t faced this type of issue.

    Let’s see other user’s are getting this issue or not.

    If I will find any better solution I will inform you.

    Thanks!

    I contacted my host and they told me to contact WordPress. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    This is what my web host replied to my ticket:

    I have made the required changes for Authorization to your domains.

    Not sure what they did but it sure worked.
