.htpasswd and password protected pages

  • Hi,

    My backend is additionally protected with .htpasswd.
    So my .htaccess file looks like this:

    <Files wp-login.php>
AuthType Digest
AuthName "Protected Area"
AuthDigestDomain /
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require user testuser
Satisfy All </Files>

    Now I have a problem with normal password protected pages, because since WordPress 3.4 this password form is using the wp-login.php with the parameter ?action=postpass.

    Is it possible only to protect the wp-login.php without the parameter postpass ?

    Thanks for your help

    Password protect post/page: This is built into WordPress. Just put in a password when creating the post or page. Look on the upper right hand corned on Edit Page or Edit Post > visibility > pick Password Protect.

    Hi Tara,

    You didn’t understand my problem.
    I know how to protect a page with a password – thanks.

    I tried to rewrite the wp-login.php?action=postpass to login/action/postpass but the .htpasswd protection still works ??

    Any other suggestions?
