    A few days ago I installed the AskApache plugin. After setting up the options, the plugin locked me out of wp-admin. I resolved this issue by changing my .htaccess file.

    I then deleted the plugin. However, I’m still prompted for my AskApache username and password whenever I try to access my wp-admin pages (which works, thankfully). Worse, although my home page is viewable, attempting to view all other pages associated with my site returns a 404 error.

    I’m at a loss for how to resolve this problem, since I’ve deleted the plugin, yet it still appears to be running and blocking access to the rest of my site.

    ditto here…to be honest, while I see the value of a plugin like this – that is stable – I wonder why WP recommends a plugin that can knock down a site so easily, and generally apparently does. then again, i know the intention is good, and that AskApache is absolutely on the right track. but this is a beta, surely, not a WP recommend (Hardening WordPress)??

    seems ot me, despite so many people having issues with this plugin, there are still maaaaaaaaaaaany questions and hardly any answers.

    dunno, maybe WordPress is forgetting that it’s core users are not computer science types but still want secure blogs, and therefore prone to follow the docs’ advice.

    sorry…just to be clear, this is almost a brilliant plug-in for the average WP user, and I suspect will be. and wordpress is generally utterly brilliant. just maybe a little hyper-excitement about this particular beta-plugin??

    sorry, just a little frustration came out…this is an open-source community, init. one big beta-test, after all.

    tx for trying, everyone!

    🙂
