Allow WordPress authentication?
You choose weather you want to be able to connect without HTTP authentification, could be useful if you created users for wordpress, which are not part of Yunohost.
Thank you, very useful for my Wordpress install and for the general understanding of how SSO works!
Allow me a slightly off-topic question: do you know a simple way to redirect the “Wo” (assuming one called the wordpress installation “Wordpress”) button in the YunoHost interface to https://domain.tld/blog/wp-admin instead of https://domain.tld/blog/ ?
Hey! Where can I find http-authentication plugin in filesystem or the file that uses it? I cannot access to admin page because of this issue (making page public). I searched folders like /var/www/wordpress/ and /etc to find something but I cannot. Am I doing it the wrong way? Maybe I’ve misunderstood the solution. Maybe I just didn’t looked at right places.
I think your problem is about the ldap plugin.
There’re nothing to modify in any php file. Maybe you can update manually your plugin.
But the easier way to do is to upgrade your wordpress package with the command I’ve given to you previously.
So can you explain me what exactly is your issue. Is it a problem to connect, like a password not recognized, or more an issue with auto login so you have to connect by yourself ?
I think it’s the first thing. It seems like it recognizes my account but the password is not correct, but I checked few times and password is correct.
I don’t understand what do you mean by auto login issue. Every other app works with that login except Wordpress. I only tried the web interface. I am not familiar with the other way.
Yeah, I did. It’s not a solution for me. I’m going to try to make site private, not public and see if the problem is still there. And if nothing works, I really don’t need wordpress app.
It’s nothing about public or private.
It’s an issue with the ldap plugin.
Because an update of wordpress has broken the ldap plugin.
That’s why the ldap plugin need to be upgraded.
There’re 2 solutions you can try:
Maybe your ldap plugin is simply disable.
So you can try the real password, which you can find in /etc/yunohost/apps/wordpress/settings.yml under the name mysqlpwd
Or, even with the upgrade, your plugin is not up to date.
You can download wp-cli to try to update it. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
Then update the plugin sudo php wp-cli.phar --allow-root --path=/var/www/wordpress plugin update simple-ldap-login
Ok! I updated wordpress package. After that I just reinstalled wordpress and now it works. However, interesting thing is that I cannot logout. I don’t need it, but it is interesting. It sends me to some error page. I can’t remember was it 404 or something else.
I bring back this old thread because i recently had the exact difficulties here described while searching for solutions.
So. I decided to upgrade wordpress through the admin panel of Yunohost. The upgrade, in addition to upgrade the wordpress core, installed a new plugin : simple-ldap-login which i didn’t pay attention on. Error…
I disconnected from Wordpress and never couldn reconnect anymore, with neither internal wordpress user nor Yunohost user (even created for this specific app).
I tried the DB_USER found in wp-config.php (and its corresponding DB_PASSWORD) : nope.
Long story put short : i used wp-cli to deactivate the LDAP plugin and then succeeded in loging in again with my ancient account.
After several tries with another browser - not to be locked out of Wordpress again-, i tried to figure out if i had some bad configuration with the plugin, which i could’nt know. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin and tried again.
I finally uninstalled ldap-simple-login for good. I understand the idea of having such a plugin but it didn’t work for me.
I’ve read somewhere (afterwords) that it is better to upgrade Wordpress from inside Wordpress rather than from the Yunohost admin panel. Can you confirm that ?
And finally, why still using this particular plugin if it seems not to work with the last version of Wordpress ? But maybe something went wrong only with my installation 'cause i didn’t find any other recent remarks on this issue.
Here is my configuration :
yunohost : 3.4.2.4
wordpress : 5.1.1
simple-ldap-login : 1.6.0
On a debian based virtual machine somewhere over the rainbow.
I’m too using wordpress 5.1.1 and simple-ldap-login 1.6.0 and just log in one of my wordpress to see how it works.
I didn’t have any issue.
Is HTTP Authentication plugin active ?
You can safely upgrade wordpress from YunoHost, since the package will not upgrade wordpress itself, but only the package around it.
Wordpress is installed with a plugin to automatically update the app. However, this plugin is sometimes capricious and not too reliable… I have to work on that, and see what’s going on with it.
Don’t know what the problem is.
I did. It’s not a solution for me. I’m going to try to make site private, not public and see if the problem is still there. And if nothing works, I really don’t need wordpress app.
I don’t need it, but it is interesting. It sends me to some error page. I can’t remember was it 404 or something else.
