[Plugin: Friends Only] Login requested for every page

This is confusing. I still have the problem even after rebooting my machine. I also went to another pc and I had the issue there as well. It also happens on my iPad.

Thanks for opening up your site again.

So after much mucking around, it seems that this is an issue with Safari.

I haven’t been able to replicate the bug on Chrome or Firefox.

Weird thing is I can’t see the same bug on other sites using the plugin with Safari, only on yours.

But other people have definitely reported the same problem.

So far I haven’t been able to untangle it, but I’ll keep looking – I suspect that Safari handles setting cookies differently to other browsers (the cookie isn’t being set for your site, for some reason).

Try 0.6.0 now available in the repository – I’ve redesigned the way it stores session data.

Let me know how you go.

Gabe

I’ll try and have a go at this later today.

By the way, although I use Safari on my iPad. The other machines use IE

YES. Version 0.6.0 has fixed the problem. Everything is working fine for me. Well done!

Fantastic. Thanks so much for persisting and helping me solve this one. It’s been something I’ve been trying to resolve for a while.

Gabe, The plugin works great! I was wanting know if there was a way I could designate the password protection for certain pages. . . not the entire website. Though there are other plugins out there that do this, I LOVE the fact I can designate the actual passwords.

Reason: We sell products that have serial numbers, I will paste the valid serial numbers to represent the password. This will allow us to protect the documentation for certain products. Since we have more than one product, I was hoping the plugin would only allow people to view the documentation for the product they have purchased.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance!

What you suggest sounds like a good idea – you’re welcome to try to hack the plugin to do what you want, but it would require some pretty serious architectural changes (page-level authentication, different authentication lists for different pages), so my hunch is that what you want to do is pretty far beyond what this plugin can do at the moment…
