redundant authorization request is displayed for slideshow mode

I think you have to solve this in .htaccess or .htpasswd. I expect ( and hope for security reasons !! ) that it is not possible for the plugin to bypass any security setting set by .htaccess and/or .htpasswd

Ok, I see.
But could you please clarify – Is it some specific plugin functionality, which tries to access restricted area? If so, Is it possible to switch off this functionality using some of the settings which plugin has?

Or this is native “core” plugin’s behavior, which can’t be turned off?

Let me explain my point here – other slider plugins which I tested didn’t require access to wp-admin area during slideshow (not such dialog appeared). So my understanding is that there is a function inside wppa+, which is probably not required for me personally and I can turn it off and enjoy the rest of the functionality.

Thank you!

During the slideshow file from ../wp-content/uploads/wppa/ and ../wp-content/uploads/wppa/thumbs/ are requested, so make your protection not to protect that area. Also ../wp-admin/admin-ajax.php should be accessable for the rating system.

thanks for the help!
I was able to adjust security settings and now everything is ok!

Beautifull!
