WordPress 2.7 and Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin
December 16, 2008 8:10 PM Subscribe
On one of my WordPress hosted blogs, I previously used Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin to restrict access to registered users. After upgrading to WordPress 2.7, the plugin doesn't work anymore. It won't let anybody log in, trapping people in a constant loop of entering (correct) passwords and being returned to the login screen.
Does anybody know:
(a) how to alter the plugin so it works with 2.7. I don't want to shell out US$30 for 'Authenticator Plugin Pro' when only about ten people access the site in question.
(b) of another plugin that does the same thing - blocks off a WordPress site to everyone other than registered users with passwords.
Many thanks.

Response by poster: I used that before, but it was too much of a pain.
People forget their passwords all the time. WP can send a reset password to the email address associated with a username. With .htaccess, I need to go it manually.
Upgrading to 2.6 also broke this plugin, but someone came up with a few lines of code that fixed it.

This plug in might be useful. It does say that it's only compatible to 2.6.2, but it's worth a shot. I'm not sure what all changed to make 2.7.

I use this plugin with 2.7:
wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members-only
Same as above, just the official repository link.

Response by poster: Hades,
That seems to work perfectly. Thanks a lot.
As for Members Only, I actually explicitly do not want RSS feeds, so I think I will stick with the patched version of Angsuman's plugin for now.
I appreciate all the help!
