    I just upgraded from 3.3.2 to 3.4 on my site and now the Password Protected pages are not working properly. I get the prompt to input my password but after putting in the correct password (I’ve repeatedly made sure I had the correct password) and clicking on submit, the screen refreshes like it’s going to load the page but only brings up the prompt for the password again. Help? Site was just made live this week.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Hi,

    I’ve got the same issue, however, I don’t think my theme (Theme-Dutch MikMag) is using a customised password form. I’ve searched all through the theme and cannot find it. There is also nothing in the functions.php.

    My page: https://voxharmony.org.au/wp/2010-repertoire/

    is password-protected and when I click on submit (with or without the correct password) – it doesn’t even load the call but produces a blank page instead with one fullstop. The URL called is:

    https://voxharmony.org.au/wp/wp-login.php?action=postpass

    which seems correct – so why doesn’t it pass a result?

    I’ve reinstalled WordPress 3.5.1 but no success.

    Does anyone have any other ideas?

    Thanks,

    P.S. Sorry – I have now opened a new thread since this one is marked as “resolved”.

    Just in case anyone comes here. Today my issue was fixed through hosting provider solution:

    “We have again gone through your issue and found that there was an issue with “ModSecurity: Access denied”, now we have corrected your issue.”

    After this, password-protected pages worked fine again. My advice, check with your provider and don’t get fobbed off.
