My prospective attendees are having trouble upon clicking “Proceed to Finalize Registration“. A popup appears: registration step could not be completed. Please refresh the page and try again..
Myself (admin) and another admin have not encountered this. In wp-admin I have an .htaccess file that restricts admin dashboard access to our IPs:
<FilesMatch ".*">
#################Apache >= 2.3
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require ip my.ip.address
Require ip admin2.ip.address
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>
In a test, removing the line containing my ip address yields the same error as my prospective attendees upon event registration. How can I maintain my .htaccess configuration while allowing non-admins to register for events?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi there,
Personally, I wouldn’t bother with the above but if you are going to block /wp-admin/ access you’ll need to add an exception for /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
That’s the WordPress ajax handler and needs to be publicly available, not only for EE but any plugin using it.
Here are a couple of examples of how you do it:
