Summary

1.0.3 (#7, ENG-7125) fixed a fatal conflict between this plugin and User Switching, but Automattic's automated build/packaging smoke tests caught it breaking basic site access outright: a fresh install returned HTTP 401, with no session cookie, on both the front page and the wp-admin login flow. It was caught before the update reached real customer sites.

This reverts the 1.0.3 change back to 1.0.2's known-good behavior. That means the User Switching logout conflict from ENG-7125 comes back too — that's expected for this PR; re-implementing that fix correctly, with real smoke testing this time, is tracked separately in ENG-7204.

Ships as 1.0.4, not 1.0.2 — the release workflow derives its tag from the plugin version header and fails on a duplicate, and 1.0.2 is already published.

Changes

  • pressable-basic-authentication.php — reverts the 1.0.3 logout-handling changes (hook moved from init back to plugins_loaded, guard extraction, session-skip-on-logout guard); version bumped to 1.0.4.
  • readme.txtStable tag to 1.0.4.
  • .gitattributes, .github/workflows/main.yml, .github/workflows/test.yml, tests/hook-registration-test.php — reverts the 1.0.3 CI/test additions along with the code they were pinning.

Tracking

  • ENG-7203 — this rollback
  • ENG-7204 — re-implement the User Switching fix correctly and ship as 1.0.5, with mandatory full smoke testing before release

Logging out can fatally fail for sites using User Switching when plugin initialization order places this plugin first. Restore logout processing on the WordPress init hook before merging.

Restore logout processing on the init hook.

This block runs from plugins_loaded at priority 1. User Switching also initializes its cookie constants on plugins_loaded at priority 1. If this callback runs first, wp_logout() invokes the registered User Switching logout callback before those constants exist. PHP 8 then raises an undefined-constant fatal error. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Restore the separate public logout handler on init. Keep the request guards in that handler.

The release workflow derives its tag from the plugin version header
and fails on a duplicate stable tag -- 1.0.2 is already published, so
reverting to its version number would fail to release. The behavior
this PR restores is unchanged; only the version target moves forward.
