I have a site I manage with wordpress (using a custom theme). The site is a membership site, and I want to protect one page with a password specific to each user. Right now I just have that page password protected using a plugin, but the password is the same for all users, so there is to much room for abuse.

I downloaded the software, but could not figure out how to set up password protection for a page within my wordpress site. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Hi Will

Setting it up for Wordpress will be no different then setting it up for any other site. Just need to make sure that the server it is hosted on supports it.

We have many video tutorials at http://www.coffeecup.com/website-access … tutorials/ which can walk you through the steps.

Scott,

I have the same question as Will, but your tutorial link to video tutorials is empty. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

There's a handful of videos here, but I don't think they address Word Press systems at all sorry. Might be helpful a little though so here's the link to the CoffeeCup channel on YouTube:

Not all software there has videos, but they tell you under each one if there are any or not.

I have been successfully using CC website access manager for a few years to protect access to directories containing a number of downloads. However, I have just ported the main site to Wordpress and have run into a snag. The root directory htaccess file for the WP site is as follows:
# Use PHP5.4 Single php.ini as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54s .php
DirectoryIndex index.php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

As far as I can work out the line RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f which should test for "file does not exist" is also triggered if access control is in place. Thus all protected files are redirected to index.php. Any ideas how to get over this?

I love the Web Access Manager, but I'm using it with Wordpress. When I upload my users, it overwrites my .htaccess files. My .htaccess needs this code for my wordpress site to work. If I edit the htaccess file and add the following back in, both Wordpress and Access Manager work fine. HOW CAN I KEEP ACCESS MANAGER FROM OVERWRITING THIS EACH TIME I UPLOAD???

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

# END WordPress

Did you try adding that to your .htaccess in WAM?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
