wp-admin .htaccess file blocks user profile viewing?

  • Hello,

    In many of the “hardening WordPress” articles on the net, they recommend using .htaccess to password protect the entire wp-admin directory. I liked the idea, and got that working, but that kills my users’ ability to edit their profile here:

    https://meeble.com/wp-admin/profile.php

    I’ve tried adding a <Files> directive to my htaccess file to allow access to profile.php, but it still prompts the user for a password. Not sure if it is trying to include other files that are still protected? Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Devin

    Does anyone have a work-aound for securing the wp-admin directory without killing user profile editing?
