   Hello ...

   I know that this is nothing very difficult to solve ... but I'm very confused.

   I made an Adress for my blog: "traum.fluegelchen.net" which refers to "http://www.fluegelchen.net/traumwelten" - being the correct blog-adress.

   I'm using a password-protection-plugin, but entering the password from "http://traum.fluegelchen.net" only got me to my homepage "http://www.fluegelchen.net", that's why I decidet to simply tell wordpress that it's new adress should be "http://traum.fluegelchen.net".

   I think a made some big mistage because now there is absolutely no possibility to access my blog.
   I don't find the file where I could change this into it's original.

   I would be really glad if someone could help.

   Fluegel.
   (Please excuse my rough English ...)

   Assuming you have FTP access, go into your wp-content/plugins folder and delete the wp-password plugin.

   Now try going to

   http://traum.fluegelchen.net/wp-admin

   and see what happens.

   This is just a guess as I've never come across the wp-password plugin before, but by deleting it, it should be disabled and won't cause whatever weird infinite loop you have going on at the moment??!

   If I delete it, there comes this error message:
   Not Found
   The requested URL /wp-content/plugins/wp-password/login.php was not found on this server.
   Uploading it again only brings back the loop.

   Forget it - I just got up (eh school) ... and forgot to go to the login ... .
   But ... it seems I can't login because the password doesn't work?! (Its a new blog, so I'm still using the generated password ... :/)

   But access zu the blog is working now - http://traum.fluegelchen.net/

   Last edit - ok ... I'm "back in". (stupid mistake I did with my passwords ...). I can view my blog now ... but changes are not high I will be able to use the password-prodection when using "http://traum.fluegelchen.net" ?

   (Please excuse this over comfusing thread ... :/)

   Does that mean your problem is fixed?!

   Can I ask, are you looking for an overall password for the entire blog whether viewing a page or trying to get into the back end?

   I can access my blog without any problems with "http://traum.fluegelchen.net" (which is what I wanted to).
   This only works without the wp-password-plugin (which allows me to set one password for the whole blog (to read it!)).
   I used this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-password/#post-452
   (which ends up into the loop-loading-stuff)

   Thank you for your help so far.

   Well, if you're familiar with it you could use .htaccess and .htpasswd to set up a server based password for the whole site.

   There's a good article here:

   http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess3.shtml

   Otherwise there are millions of little PHP password protection scripts out there, such as:

   http://www.zubrag.com/scripts/password-protect.php

   which would probably just need some template editing to call the password script before anything else.

   so finally - after being too silly for .htaccess (I knew already what it is ... but I had troubles with password-entering (it never worked) and when I got it working it said "directory not existing" :S)

   Somehow I remembered that Confixx offers password protection for directories as well ... so it's finally working!
   Thank you :)
