Angsuman’s Authenticated Plugin and WordPress 2.5

  • I just upgraded all my blogs to WordPress 2.5. Mostly, it has been smooth sailing. Unfortunately, I have one blog that is only meant to allow access for registered users. I was using Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress plugin (version 1.0) to achieve this.

    After upgrading to 2.5, the plugin no longer worked. When you enter a valid username and password, it gets into an endless cycle of redirects.

    I was wondering whether someone either:
    (a) knows how to fix this problem OR
    (b) knows of another password protection plugin that works.

    Any alternative plugin would need to either password protect or disable RSS and atom feeds, as well.

    Many thanks for any suggestions!

  • I have the same issue. Is there another plugin somewhere that has the same functionality?

    Registered Only is working for me:
    https://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/registered-only/

    However, there are reports that it breaks the flash uploader. You can fix that by hacking wp-admin/includes/media.php like this:

    — media.php~ Mon Mar 31 17:05:06 2008
    +++ media.php Mon Mar 31 17:51:26 2008

    $flash_action_url = get_option(‘siteurl’) . “/wp-admin/async-upload.php”;

    // If Mac and mod_security, no Flash. ??
    – $flash = true;
    + $flash = false;
    if ( false !== strpos(strtolower($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’]), ‘mac’) && apache_mod_loaded(‘mod_security’) )
    $flash = false;

    I’ve got the same issue and I’m hoping the plugin gets updated to be compatible with the new WP. No one else has another plugin aside from this one and that Registered Only one? I have yet to try Registered Only.

    I’ve got the same issue as outlined by sindark, which happens for the registered_only plugin also.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Apologies, the problem is not the same for the registered only plugin. I can log into the admin area of the blog, but any link to the front end of the site (ie the visit site button) re-directs me to the login form, which then directs me to the admin area.

    Anybody else having this issue ?

    This solved it for me.

    Thanks very much.

    thanks willb. That one fixed it.

    willb. You rock! This fixed things for me. Blessings on you for posting this. If you’re having this problem and you’ve found this post give this fix a go.

    Wow… you ppl rock… thanks for support!
