Thought I posted this but can't find the entry.
I want to make a blog that is inaccessible unless the user enters a password (simple 'web protect' process done in cpanel @ my web host). Like on a splash page. Then users would need to log into WP normally.
Will WP work in this kind of a setup? It's for a school blog project with 4th graders.
Thanks, kj

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. Give it a try.

It'll work just fine :)
(I know someone who works in a school and who has her blog protected like this to stop the students reading it).
If you have problems at all, just put WP in a directory further down under the .htaccess

Thanks guys - I'll give it a go!

Working for me that way...just set it up today.

Did just find out, though, that you won't have a feed from it because of the protection. Just thought I'd let you know.

You can, but you need to use the same user/pass as the .htaccess

OOh, could you elaborate on that, please?

It will entirely on your Feedreader supporting this method. I use FeedDemon which allows me to see the feed of the friend I mentioned above. FD costs ($30) and is Windows only but hunting around might find others that support the feature:
