# WordPress 2.7 and Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin

 * On one of my WordPress hosted blogs, I previously used Angsuman’s Authenticated
   WordPress Plugin to restrict access to registered users.
 * After upgrading to WordPress 2.7, the plugin doesn’t work anymore. It won’t let
   anybody log in, trapping people in a constant loop of entering (correct) passwords
   and being returned to the login screen.
 * Does anybody know:
 * (a) how to alter the plugin so it works with 2.7. I don’t want to shell out US
   $30 for ‘Authenticator Plugin Pro’ when only about ten people access the site
   in question.
 * (b) of another plugin that does the same thing – blocks off a WordPress site 
   to everyone other than registered users with passwords.
 * Many thanks.

 * Someone on AskMefi came up with this patch:
 * Edit the file ac_authenticator.php (in wp-content/plugins) and change these lines:
 *  if ( (!empty($_COOKIE[USER_COOKIE]) &&
    !wp_login($_COOKIE[USER_COOKIE], $_COOKIE[
   PASS_COOKIE], true)) || (empty($_COOKIE[USER_COOKIE])) ) {
 * to this:
 *  if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
