    Hi!

    After I’ve updated to 2.19 under WP3.1 – a visitor is getting the password prompt, because I have the admin area protected by htaccess.

    Is there a solution?

    Great Plug In Dave by the way! 🙂

    Thank you!

    Dave’s WordPress Live Search now uses WordPress’s AJAX API. This greatly simplifies my code and makes it more reliable. But even though it’s an official, documented API it still requires plugins to call a file in wp-admin. Hopefully they’ll get around to moving this functionality to wp-includes some day, but until then you can make a small change to how you’re password protecting your wp-admin directory in .htaccess and let calls to admin-ajax through.

    Details at http://www.nkuttler.de/post/htaccess-protect-wordpress-admin/

    Hope that helps!

    – Dave

    Hi again.

    I have edited my .htaccess as follows: 

    # This is the whitelisting of the ajax handler
<Files admin-ajax.php>
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Satisfy any
</Files>

    Works perfectly on my site now, even without having to log in for a “live-search” before…

    Greetings and thanks again…
