    We pretty consistently get a 404 error when clicking on a protected link off the front page. if the user hits “Refresh” the login page always comes up. (Occasionally I’ve seen an error something along the lines of “input file not specified”).

    This is really causing the users issues.

    Any ideas? This is sort of a killer.

    Not much I can do with this amount of information. Have you tried another theme? Have you looked at the links and see if they have any commonality for the ones that error and the ones that don’t? Is it completely random?

    The same theme didn’t give any 404’s before the plugin.

    It’s generally all web pages that are protected that generate the 404.

    It’s pretty consistent whenever a page needs to be logged into.

    In other words, I could see the front page, click on a link, get a 404, hit refresh, get the login page, login properly, then see the web page. This is very repeatable.

    Let some time elapse so the web page times out, then click on something, and get a 404 again (should have brought up the login page). Hit refresh, log on properly, wash, rinse, repeat.

    We are also using a custom login page (The A5 custom login plugin – I’ve also opened the same ticket with them).

    I checked, and although I’m using the A5 custom login plugin, I’m also NOT configured a separate login page in the private site plugin.

    The “where to after login” is set to “Return to same URL”.

    “Apply to wp-login.php” is not checked.

    In my private site, “Custom login page” is NOT checked.

    Allow Landing location for custom login pages is not checked.

    Any other debugging info I can give you?

    Well, this is not related to your plugin, seems to be a problem with PHP, actually. It’s just odd it first started coming up when I put in the authentication on the site.

    So, probably not your issue!
