This is not working on a WP Engine site

[pelicanpaul]

When I try to authenticate with the code form email I get 502 Bad Gateway
nginx

Ideas?

Interesting. Coming back to this. Now it does not send the email. I have checked to see if emails are sent and they do send but with this plugin they are not sent. - Paul

@pelicanpaul Do you have access to the PHP or Nginx error logs? It is almost impossible to debug this without specific details on where it fails.

[pelicanpaul]

Yep. I looked at the errors but there is nothing there related to this. But the mail settings are as follows.

SendMail path (UNIX): /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
SMTP server (Windows): localhost
SMTP port (Windows): 25
Add X header: 1

On another WP engine site I see the

502 Bad Gateway
nginx

Error with /wp-login.php?action=validate_2fa
page

[pelicanpaul]

It was discovered that the email is sent from an account that was created AFTER the plugin is installed. Not sure why???

@pelicanpaul Could you please ask WP Engine support for the related errors logs? We really need to know which part of the code is triggering the error. Thanks!

[kasparsd]

Closing for now. Please re-open if more details can be provided.

Hi, Finally got this working with support from WP Engine. The tech guys said "I had to disable one of our login protection settings conflicting with it." Not sure what it was but what a freakin pain in the ass not having access to the server settings and misc security stuff.

@kasparsd I encountered this issue as well and it was because WP-Engine uses a filter to add a wpe-login=true parameter to the login form's action URL. It does this with a filter on the site_url hook that only applies when the scheme is login_post. I've submitted a pull request that applies this filter when running in WP-Engine environments.
