Solving indexing issues for password-protected sites
To bypass PHP timeout issues, FacetWP’s indexer makes a series of HTTP requests to itself. If your site uses HTTP Basic Authentication (.htpasswd), you’ll need to tell FacetWP how to log in.
NOTE: Use the HTTP Basic Authentication login, NOT a WordPress login
Add the following into functions.php
or into the Custom Hooks plugin:
add_filter( 'http_request_args', function( $args, $url ) { if ( 0 === strpos( $url, get_site_url() ) ) { $args['headers'] = [ 'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( 'YOUR_USERNAME:YOUR_PASSWORD' ) ]; } return $args; }, 10, 2 );
