    Hello,

    I setup up a protection of wp-admin with .htaccess with the following content:
    AuthUserFile /xxx/xxx/www/xxx/xxx/wp-admin/.htpasswd
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName “Restreint_pour_admin”
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Require valid-user
    Satisfy any
    and the corresponding file .htpasswd

    When I activate the Book Review plugin I have an authentification request for all connection on the Home page of my site. Of course when I desactivate > OK

    Any idea ?

    Thanks

  • Although I don’t know an answer for this speaking from my own experience, when I Googled it I found this article. Note the very last paragraph. Maybe you can try the suggested solution.

    Thx.

    Thanks for answer.

    I tried the the suggested solution in the last paragraph. It doessn’t help. The duck is always alive.

    Is there an other file that is acceded in WP-admin ?

    Thanks

    That’s strange because I’m not accessing anything in the folder directly. Some WordPress functions I’m calling must need access, but I have no ideas which ones. My guess would be that it is the color picker functionality that needs access to that folder. Although the color picker isn’t used on the home page, the Javascript file that loads color picker is loaded on that page. So I would try investigating what color picker needs access to and try opening that up.

    In the meantime, I’m going to look at separating my Javascript out into separate files so that the color picker is only loaded in the WordPress admin panels.

    Good luck!

    Additionnal info :

    – The user just has to press the escape key so that the identification request fades and so that he is connected to the site. But he does not know that.

    – As additionnal testing : I deactivated all plugins without Book Review and set the Twenty Twelve theme : the problem remain.

    Thank you for the effort which you give to solve the problem.

    Second additionnal info :

    Idon’t know if there is a relation with this anomalie :
    I must enter the additionnal ID and password twice before I can enter the main WP ID and password.

    I hope this can help
