can't make it work

  • I installed, activated the plugin and set up login / password. OK
    Then I get the following message:
    “You will need to enable the wp-admin/wp-login SID module to turn on password protection!”

    I tried activating both password protect wp-admin and wp-login and the dashboard becomes unresponsive. It doesn’t lock me out completely, but it’s like it can’t access the wp-admin. Deleted the 2 .htaccess inserts and everything came back to normal. But unfortunately, can’t make the plugin work. My site is hosted on hostgator, with Apache Servers, but I don’t have a dedicated server, nor SSL. Just in case it may be causing the fail.

    I don’t have any coding knowledge, please provide user friendly advices.

    Your reply would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    It should certainly work on hostgator, actually the latest update was built and tested on a hostgator server.

    Could you please provide the output of the tests this plugin does, excluding any identifiable info?

    is this working with 4.3?

    I red the text on your https://www.askapache.com/wordpress/htaccess-password-protect.html

    Sounds awesome, bc I do not want to use this robust plugins like wordfense or ithemes security, or all in one security.
    Or should I?

    I mean, I do not know what I mean… advise me please.
