supporthi, I’ve configured the plugin & it’s just in an authentication loop: challenge, enter user/pass, challenge reappears. On both ‘just admin’ and ‘whole site’ settings. Can you tell me whether the user & password is saved into the database (& where) or as a traditional .htpasswd file? (& where in relation to the site root) – in the latter case, there might be permissions issues with my hosting that I can resolve. thanks, Ash The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link]
ah looks like the info is stored in the DB but still not working.
Hi @ashs_au Yes, credentials are stored in the DB. What’s your Hosting server? Maybe, there is some issue with Hosting. Regards, Sami
yep: quadra hosting on an AU server. These guys used to have some default http auth in place to protect against brute forcing wp-admin – which has since gone. But there might still be some global ‘Apache magic’ remaining on their hosting. I’ll contact their support & ask since the error log remains empty. A
@ashs_au Let me know once you get a reply from the Hosting server.
Hi, I installed http auth within an multisite, to pretect each multisite with different users and passwords. Settings are to protect whole page and activated. I can access the usual wordpress-login without http-auth. If I want to open frontend, http-auth occurs, but its not possible to enter the page, after sending passwort the http-login-form is back again. Does the plugin works in multisite? thanks, Rudi
@rudolffiedler I hope that it works with multisite BUT never tested it with multisite.
