Password protected admin folder problem.

Hello!

The subscription form uses an ajax call to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.

This is ugly, but is the official WP way.

There are an update in the article, at the bottom, there is a solution:

Update: Here is how to fix the Admin Ajax Issue

If you password protect your WordPress Admin directory, then it will break the Ajax functionality in the front-end (if it is being used). In our case, we don’t have any plugins that is using ajax in the front-end. But if you do, then here is how you fix that issue.

Open the .htaccess file located in your /wp-admin/ folder (This is NOT the main .htaccess file that we edited above).

In the wp-admin .htaccess file, paste the following code:

<Files admin-ajax.php>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Files>
