   Hello,

   In many of the "hardening WordPress" articles on the net, they recommend using .htaccess to password protect the entire wp-admin directory. I liked the idea, and got that working, but that kills my users' ability to edit their profile here:

   http://meeble.com/wp-admin/profile.php

   I've tried adding a <Files> directive to my htaccess file to allow access to profile.php, but it still prompts the user for a password. Not sure if it is trying to include other files that are still protected? Any ideas?

   Thanks,
   Devin

   Does anyone have a work-aound for securing the wp-admin directory without killing user profile editing?
