WordPress MU

Hi,

I searched around this forum and google and visited a few pages. I've tried some recommendations (which may be dated, they were 2005) regarding entries in either .htaccess or wp-pass.php, but have had no luck with accessing a password-protect post. I'll write a password-protect post on my blog server to show you the error I get (a 404 by wpmu).

I'm really stumped. I'm using r542 (2006-04-07) wpmu, as a recommended "stable" release, and have tinkered with the thing for weeks to get it to where it is now.

All help is appreciated!

Hi, I've looked at some pages on wpmu password protected posts, and tried things such as modfiying kses.php and wp-pass.php per pages (itdamager's wpmu patch review was one, and patrick chia's blogsgate was another) I've found from google on this topic. However, i still get a 404 error when i type in a password (good or bad) to view a post. Anyone who has password-protected posts working, please let me know how should I proceed.

Thanks,

That patch of mine was for a way old version. I got tired of fixing the same things over and over so I gave up and haven't fixed it in any recent versions.

Although I never got a 404 error when my password posts weren't working, I *did* get it working just by changing to ITDamager's htaccess.

Worth a try.

Yes, itdamager, I noticed the version referred to on that page was a 2005 version. But I decided to try it anyway and see if it works. I tried making head and tail of all these php files and codes, and can frankly hear what you're saying about all the fixings.

The password-protect I may just have to let slip. I'm no php programmer.

Hi everyone, just wanted to follow up and let others know that I'd fixed the problem by editing the .htaccess file. basically, i removed all the regex junk in the rewrite command for wp-pass.php, having it "^wp-pass.php" instead of "^([0-9a-zA-Z ...".

This editing is also required for the line on wp-comment if you have 404 comment error.

.htaccess is the culprit.

now, i'm working on a minor bug to get the emoticons to show, tampering with .htaccess and vars.php (no luck at this point).
