I’m trying to add basic auth for wp-login but it is not working
Here is the code I have added to /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file
location ^~ /wp-login.php {
auth_basic "Admin Login";
auth_basic_user_file /var/www/html/.htpasswd;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
location /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php {
allow all;
}
