Can't access messages templates tab, I get logged out

Hi,

I bought the plugin, installed it in my website, but 1 or 2 days after the website went live I noticed 2 problems.

1 – In the back office, if I go to the section EE > Messages > Default Message Templates, after clicking on the last tab, I get logged out automatically and get redirected to a log in page!
I’ve done this many times without any problems. I even checked this section after the website went live, and everything was ok.
By the way, not sure if important but recently the website went from this:
web.example.com
to this
http://www.example.com

2 – While trying to figure this out, I noticed I hadn’t added the Support License Key yet, so I tried to and in return I get a blank page with only a link saying Nonce Fail, which redirects me to Youtube.

Now I’m completely lost.
What can cause the first error, and why can’t I add the license?

Thanks

Hi there,

In the back office, if I go to the section EE > Messages > Default Message Templates, after clicking on the last tab, I get logged out automatically and get redirected to a log in page!

Hmm, when this happens is the URL correct for the page?

By the way, not sure if important but recently the website went from this:
web.example.com
to this
http://www.example.com

How exactly was this change made?

The URL seems correct to me.
And the problem is much worse than I thought:
From my back office, I can only access the items that are directly in the EE sub menu.
As soon as I click in any tab, event, etc, that should take me to another page, I get logged out.

Regarding migration, I think it was an ordinary process. URLs and WP settings were changed, files moved inside the same server, and in the end everything was working fine.

Still regarding your question

Hmm, when this happens is the URL correct for the page?

The only thing that caught my attention was the lack of “www”.
The items in the EE submenu have www and these work, as well as every other link in the back office.
The ones that force the log out don’t.
Not sure if relevant, but that’s what I noticed regarding URLs

It sounds like you need to follow this guide:

The WP and Site Address URLs were already defined in wp-config.php, and are both consistent, both have “www”.

On the other hand, almost all links inside the EE section don’t have it.
And I can confirm that’s the problem, because if I copy any EE link and add www to it, it works.

What can cause this?

The back office can’t really function like this

What can cause this is an incorrect site configuration. Did this break after the wp-config.php file was edited?

The wp-config.php was edited at least a few days before this error appeared

Is this site a part of a multi site network?

EE uses the wp core function admin_url() to build those links, that function uses get_site_url() to pull the url for the site direcly from your site options.

So either $url = get_option( 'siteurl' ); is returning the url without www, or something else on the site is hooking into the admin_url filter and removing the www from the URL.

If you go to Dashboard -> Settings -> General and just save the settings as is.

Then comment out the code used to define WP and Site Address URL from wp-config.php and refresh the Settings page, what happens to those URLs on the page?
