   Hi there,

   I was wondering if anyone is able to help me out with the following query:

   I've successfully used a password protection script, to password protect an entire wordpress powered site. The code is fairly standard:

   AuthName "Skillset Password"
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile /myfilepath/.htpasswd
   
   Require valid-user

   This all works perfectly fine. However, I'm trying to make it limit certain username/password combinations to specific pages. Does anyone now how I can achieve this?

   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks,

   Chris

   I would also like to do this, but can't seem to find any information on this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

   Thanks, Dan

   you need to make a .htpasswd file

   use this for authentication generate the password, http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/

   I also have this problem. I have a valid htpasswd file and a valid htaccess which prevents /members/pdf/file.pdf

   http://www.mysite.com/members/pdf/file.pdf correctly requires password and works.

   However, I also want the same passwords to protect an article called members and other articles such as members/meetings etc

   http://www.mysite.com/members and http://www.mysite.com/members/meetings display an error 500.

   Any ideas anyone? A valid .htaccess would be ideal...
