   I've set up a WP web site that has a folder /members with a set of WP pages underneath (obviously using permalinks).

   I've set up a password file outside the web root:

   /.htpasswds/public_html/wp-content/.htpasswd

   I created a 401.html file in a new folder called /public_html/forms/

   And finally, I created a folder called /public_html/members and put an .htaccess file in it with the following contents:

   ErrorDocument 401 /public_html/forms/401.html
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "member access"
   AuthUserFile "/.htpasswds/public_html/wp-content/.htpasswd"
   require valid-user

   When I go to http://www.url.com/members I get a challenge response box, which is great. So, it's reading the htaccess file. But, if I click Cancel, I go through to the protected area anyway.

   Any ideas as to why this might be, and how I can actually protect the folder fully?

   Thanks!
