Password Protected Pages

Hi there,

I’m having a problem with password protected pages. I’m using a child theme based on the_bootstrap.

When I try to password protect a page, i get a 404 (“well, this is embarrassing, isn’t it…”)

The URL shows as /wp-pass.php. I have tried to change my functions.php file so that instead of going to /wp-pass.php, it goes to /wp-login.php?action=postpass instead, but that didn’t work either. The URL showed up correctly — /wp-login.php?action=postpass, but I still got a 404.

Finally, I should mention that I installed WP in a subdirectory originally, and have used the WP instructions here https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress to move the directory to the root.

Here is what’s in my .htaccess file on the root level:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

And here’s what’s in my .htaccess file in my WP subdirectory folder:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /2014/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /2014/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Can anyone help? I really need to be able to password protect pages for this site.

Thanks!!
