Admin Pagination URLs Use Wrong Hostname

[grimmdude]

The pagination links on the posts/pages screen uses the wrong host in some cases. Particularly for my case I have a Wordpress blog installed on a separate server from my main website, but it's hosted as a subdirectory /blog on the main site using the mod_proxy Apache module. So the pagination links are coming through using the wrong host like this:

​http://1647760595.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com/wp-admin/edit.php?paged=2

It seems like these pagination links are the only ones with this issue, and I believe it's because of how they are being constructed.

I've attached a patch that solves the issue for me.

Related: #35561.

I'm not sure why there are a few links constructed like this in core. I can't immediately think of anything that would break if they were corrected so they used admin_url().

Does #35561 affect your site too, @grimmdude?

[grimmdude]

@johnbilliion, yes it does look like #35561 is an issue for me as well. Sounds like that OP and I have a similar setup. Thanks,

May I ask what the hold up is on this? Seems like a straightforward fix,

Hi @SergeyBiryukov,

Just checking in on this one. Does your comment mean that this is something that's being fixed soon? Thanks,

The earlier we can test this, the better.

Works for me

@DaveFX That's not how the dev-feedback keyword should be used. See ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/trac/keywords/

i have test pagination in admin with pag, post, and media file all is working fine.

Hi @ketanumretiya030,

I still see this as an issue when using a proxy as mentioned in the original post. From what I can tell, as long as this URL is built with a concatenation of $_SERVER vars as opposed to using admin_url() then this problem will persist.

As stated above, this is rare problem, but still happens if WP is used with proxy.

And fix is easy: take host from DB, not form $_SERVER (WP already doing it, sadly, not everywhere).

<?php
$siteurl = get_option('siteurl');
$current_url = parse_url($siteurl, PHP_URL_SCHEME) . '://' . parse_url($siteurl, PHP_URL_HOST) . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

p.s. similar situation with sorting:
