     That would be where your WordPress folders are, you could either use FTP or your host’s file manager if they have one to get to your WordPress files.

   Please this settings works fine for me, but my problem is that am using woocommerce and yith woocoomerce my account page, so when ever users login to their my-account area they are often prompted to put the login details for my protected admin, how can i fix this?

   Odpowiedz

   • WPBeginner Support

     For that, you would want to remove this protection unless you wanted to give each user a login for the httpassword

     You may want to try the recommendations in our article: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-error-too-many-redirects-issue-in-wordpress/
     for the twoo many redirects, another option would be to make sure you fix the ajax issue using the method at the bottom of this article

   Thanks so much – this is the first place I have found with all 3 bits of code that was needed – (I had the redirect problem). The code worked like a charm. I now have an extra layer of protection without adding another potentially vulnerable plugin.

   All I get after adding the above code in a .htacess file on /wp-admin folder is 500 internal server error.

   Odpowiedz

   • WPBeginner Support

     If the htaccess method is not working you could remove the code and then use the cpanel method for password protecting the directory

     The .htaccess by default is a hidden file, are you showing hidden files? https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/why-you-cant-find-htaccess-file-on-your-wordpress-site/

    I have activated password protection to wordpress directory via c-panel but wordfence is unable to scan my site. Due to ajax issue.

    I tried fixing it by updating my wp-admin/.htaccess file with the provided code by you but wordfence is still unable to start a scan. What do you suggest?

    Odpowiedz

    • WPBeginner Support

      You may want to ensure your caching is cleared and if that error continues, reach out to Wordfence about their plugin

    Enabling password protection of the wp-admin directory prevents me as logging in as the administrator. I get a page not found error. I cannot get to the login page. If I remove the password protection, I can login.

    What should I do. I am setting up a Wordpress website for the first time.

      Yes you can remove password protection at anytime.

    So how do you undo the password protect using the cPanel ..that is, I want to remove my password protection for the wp-admin directory

    Odpowiedz

14. Keri

    I followed the instructions to add the password protection using c_panel.

    It works fine in IE 11 but doesn’t work in: Edge; Firefox; Chrome; or Opera.
    Any ideas?

      Hi Keri,

      Please review your settings in cPanel to make sure you didn’t miss anything.

        I’m not sure what I missed, given that it worked in IE but not in the other browsers. I deleted the user to whom I had given access and added the same user back in and, „Voila!”, all is good.

    > Upload this file outside your /public_html/ directory.

    Good advice—more generally: outside your DocRoot.

    > A good path would be: home/user/.htpasswds/public_html/wp-admin/passwd/

    That, however, doesn’t seem to be outside your DocRoot

    hi syed, i followed your tutorial as i do always whenever i find a problem but i am facing this error continiously.

    ERROR –

    „401
    Unauthorized

    Proper authorization is required to access this resource!”

    1. I made htpassword file properly with user name and password.
    2. Edited main .htaccess file with proper code.
    3. Implemented this line in .htaccess file on topas first line
    ErrorDocument 401 default
    4. Add AJAX functionality code

    After doing all this i see additional popup box which need login details for wp-admin. – Success here

    But i’m not able to access my home page like example.com. popupbox appears again without calling /wp-admin. Please tell how to remove this 401 Error. I see that many bloggers asked this issue in comment section, but you didn’t reply. I hope you will soon address the problem.

    • WPBeginner Support

      Hello Pawan,

      This could be because the password your entered is incorrect or your server couldn’t find the .htpasswds file. We will recommend you to retrace your steps to figure out what went wrong.

        I am seeing the same issue. On subpages on my site, when I have my /wp-admin/ .htaccess password protecting my site, I get the user/pass pop-up box on pages on the front end.

        The temporary solution was to just remove the htaccess file from wp-admin. Now i am trying to put it back, so I’ll see what i can come up with and post back if i figure it out.

    Thank you for this. I worked really well especially that line „ErrorDocument 401 default” that prevented it from giving 404 error. I really dont miss tweet from you. My question now is, how can someone remove the password? And again, will the password be required upon users registration via a custom registration page?

    Hi my dear friends I have a problem. I want to make double autentification on my wordpress.But there is conflict in wordpress htacsess between wp default rules and this code:

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName „Password Protected”
    AuthUserFile path/to/.htpasswd
    Require valid-user
    Satisfy All

    I get error like 500 or error „this page is wrong”, but after delating wp default rules my code work.There is some conflict between wp code and my code! Can anyone take solution!

    A very nice approach, but I also suggest to go secure with https, because no matter how protected the admin panel is, with passwords, the passwords itself are not secure if it’s not https.

    Can I do this for my wp-login?

    The wp-admin is password protected and gives out a 401 if some tries to exit the pop-up (so 0 access without the 1st password).

    But my wp-login allows access to a disfigured wp-login page if someone exits out of the pop-up.

    That’s a great article.

    However, I’d like to ask you how can I track the who visits the page (IP, etc) even though if they don’t type any username or password or type wrong ones. I can’t seem to find a way to do that.

    Please let me know.

        Thanks for the reply.

        I installed the Simple History plugin you recommend but it does not seem to track the http authentication either.

        Any ideas?

        Odpowiedz

        • WPBeginner Support

          Hi Frank,

          Sorry for misunderstanding your question. You can track http authentication in your server logs. However, usually these logs contain all access and errors to your website. Some website hosts offer apps in cPanel that make it easier to browse those logs. On some hosting environments you can even create custom log files of your own.

    Thanks for this article. It is really helped me lot save the login form anonymous person. But, i have an issue on my site.

      Yes, you will have to either share the username password with the guest, or disable password protection.

    I recently added password protected my „wp-admin” directory and my „wp-includes” directory. Now each time i try to access my „wp-admin” page with it’s username and password that i created i get to dialogue box popping up for me to enter the username and password for that of the „wp-includes” directory before signing in to the main wordpress admin page.

    Have you encountered such issue with wordpress before?

    It’s a good method but the problem is that regular users can’t recover their password if they click on „Lost your password?” link (/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword).

    Good Tutorial. While admin-ajax.php might need extra enabling,
    there is one file on one level up (WP root level), that imho deserves extra disabling:

    require user

    Unless you truly have a blog where regular readers obtain WP accounts for commenting or such, this is not necessary. Extra-htpasswd-protecting this makes brute-forcing of WP accounts harder…

    Hi,

    I have tried putting the ErrorDocument 401 default in many places in the main .htaccess file to no avail

    I am running W3 Total Cache and the first chunk of the code relates to that

    I have put it before the W3 code which results in a 500, I have tried putting it after the W3 code # END W3TC just before the # BEGIN WordPress

    I get a 500 there as well

    If only this would work, I would be a happy camper

    Hosted by Go Daddy and creating the protected folder via CPanel

    I am putting off calling Go Daddy for the fourth time. as on this particular issue, they have not been at their best

    Thanks in advance
