security settings conflicting

  • Okay…
    I moved my weblog from the root directory to /weblog. To avoid any kind of conflicts, I also copied wordpress to this new directory. The problem is, the new directory is password protected. When you first click to open the page, the password prompt comes up like it should; however, once the page starts loading, it prompts AGAIN in order to load the .gif smilies I have installed with wordpress. If I re-enter my password, the smilies load, and if I don’t, it just shows up as an outline. Everything else loads fine regardless of whether I enter a second password or not.
    Now, when I changed the settings back so that the site was reading wordpress as still in the root directory with only the index in /weblog, I didn’t have this problem.
    What could be causing this security conflict? I’d like to have wordpress in the same directory that it’s viewed in (/weblog), but I don’t want to enter the password twice.

    This isn’t a security conflict. This is occurring because you have WordPress in a password-protected directory. You’re luck you only have to enter your password twice.
