I think AA Pass Pro gets confused about where its reading and writing things. I end up with artifacts all over. * I’m not sure if it will help you but I posted a nasty hack that got me going ( barely) at [topic 196640](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/196640?replies=6#post-867357). That allowed me to protect my [Children’s Learning](http://learncastle.com) site with others to follow. * Don’t even try to use the pasword protection — it hasn’t worked since 4.3.5. You can use cpanel to do the same thing without the pain. But the rest of Ask Apache’s work is gold. * Steve * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Ask Apache Password Protect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ask-apache-password-protect/) * Thread Starter [steinitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steinitz/) * (@steinitz) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ask-apache-password-protect/#post-834842) * Sorry, the line number is 1836 – don’t change the one at 1363 (it may need changed but I couldn’t see an easy way to do it). * Also, I had to deactivate then reactivate AA Pass Pro after I made the change. I think. * Steve * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Ask Apache Password Protect](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ask-apache-password-protect/) * Thread Starter [steinitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steinitz/) * (@steinitz) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ask-apache-password-protect/#post-834841) * Hello, * I was able to make one minor change to the code and get past the initial check and then do all the protection except password protecting wp_admin. In my case a problem arose because I install wordpress in a ‘main’ subdirectory but put its index.php in root and set these values in settings * WordPress address (URL) [http://example.com/main](http://example.com/main) Blog address (URL) [http://example.com](http://example.com) * To support that setup I changed line 1547 (give or take) from: * $home_path = rtrim( get_home_path(), ‘/’ ) . ‘/’; * to * $home_path = rtrim( get_home_path(), ‘/’ ) . $path; * That adds ‘/main/’ to $home_path and fixes it just enough to get me some basic protection. * Hope that helps somebody, * Steve * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: AskApache Password Protect] What’s new in 8/14 version?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-whats-new-in-814-version/) * [steinitz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steinitz/) * (@steinitz) * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-whats-new-in-814-version/#post-834795) * Hi askapache, * Thanks for supplying the contact info (wasn’t able to use the webmaster contact form on your site – it gives a not-authorized error). And thanks for continuing to support your great plugin. * I upgraded to 4.6.1 – it still fails the tests – see below. * Also, it looks like your fix with the rtrim of ‘/’ is along the right path but the tests still create a wp-content directory in my root directory. * Let me know what I can do to help with debugging. * Best regards, * Steve * ps. (repeated from another thread) Re mod_auth_digest my host, Hostmonster has stated that they will never enable mod_auth_digest. I explained the issue and escalated it it higher and higher support levels to no avail. Also, I’ve seen some recommendations elsewhere to leave the mod_auth_digest disabled. * pps.

Also, I’ve seen some recommendations elsewhere to leave the mod_auth_digest disabled. * Ask Apache: is the fact that mod_auth_digest is disabled prevent AA Pass Pro from continuing? * Man, I’d really like to get this going.
