I have set up a download site using a WordPress installation on which I have a home post and a single page accessible by menu tab. Everything was working until I password protected it. When I sign in now, the introductory post and back end are accessible, but the page comes up blank.

The page uses a plugin that loads content from a database.

Is WAM locking up the page?

Take a look at the htaccess file and see what was added by WAM.

Strangely, I see no sign of a .htaccess file in the directory in question, and a search of the subdirectories showed no such file. Nor do I see one in the root. WAM is running and does require a username/password to access the directory.

I went into cpanel and found it. Now I have to get my FTP program to show it so I can download it.

There should be a setting in the FTP program to show invisible files. Anything that begins with a DOT is considered a hidden/invisible file.

Here is the entire content of the file (with URL and usernames edited):

#### CC BEGIN WEBSITE ACCESS MANAGER ####

AuthUserFile /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/.htpasswd
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthType Basic

# Access Restriction:
Require user XXXXXXXXX
order deny,allow

#### CC END WEBSITE ACCESS MANAGER ####

I don't know much about Word Press but I know Jo Ann has used them with htaccess and she figured out what the issue was. It had something to do with a plug-in but I do not remember what that was.

Hopefully she will see this post and respond.

This is a very stripped down version of WordPress. I am using WP 3.0.1 (latest version) with two plugins: Akismet 2.4.0 (latest version) and WordPress Download Monitor 3.3.5 (latest version).

There is one post and I have set up two pages, one of which uses the plugin with the simplest code call, and the other is a test post with the word "Test" in it. Neither page shows up; I just get a blank window, and the status bar shows "Done".

If you remove or rename the htaccess file htaccess.txt, does the blog work as intended?

although I see the post, I really don't remember which addon it was that was messing me up, but I think it was something like pretty links or something on that order. I don't have the wordpress site up anymore to check, but the forums here may have the thread somewhere if I asked for help in here? Been a while, and I may have notes on it at home, but not here on my little notebook puter on vacation. I can look all that up after I get home next weekend if it's not already found and solved by then though. Good luck on it till then and hopefully I have something somewhere on it.
