[WP-Authenticate] Authentication plugins not compatible with 2.6

i second that. i use an authentication plugin that no longer works in 2.6 “Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin”.

I third that. I’m going through the code, I’ll post here if I can get it working.

Thanks,

Pamela

I quadruple that ??

I run a private blog that I’ve had to disable completely until this gets fixed ??

Hey guys, there is a fix posted at the plugin home site (https://xavisys.com/wordpress-authentication-plugin/):

In my case, I modified wp-authenticate.php by this:

if ((strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-login.php’) === false) && (strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-register.php’) === false)) {
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
auth_redirect();
}
}

Then, it works with WP 2.6.

Hope that helps at least for this one plugin.

Be careful though. It is easy to goof that up (I wasn’t the only one). You are really only adding the second if statement.

Hopefully this will help:

Look at this code here (from the plug in site):

if ((strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-login.php’) === false) && (strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-register.php’) === false)) {
auth_redirect();
}

Now, Make it look like this:

if ((strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-login.php’) === false) && (strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-register.php’) === false)) {
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
auth_redirect();
}
}

that should clear it all up, doing this made it work like a charm for me.

hi bwakefield, I made the change and I cannot activate the plugin in WordPress 2.6

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /hermes/bosweb/…/blog/wp-content/plugins/wp-authenticate.php on line 23

line 23 = “public static function check_auth_to_read () {”

Perhaps you can post your complete edit of that section? It just looks as though a } is missing, as per the error message.

Error when activate the following plugin:

the following is the whole file of the plugin:

<?php

*/
class wpAuthenticate {

public static function check_auth_to_read () {
if ((strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-login.php’) === false) && (strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-register.php’) === false)) {
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
auth_redirect();
}
}
}
}
}

add_filter(‘init’, array(‘wpAuthenticate’,’check_auth_to_read’));

Thanks. Try removing an extra } perhaps? There are 4x { tags as far as I can see, and 5x } ones.

I have stopped updating my private blog, since every new version of WordPress seems to break Angsuman’s Authenticated WordPress Plugin.

turns out it’s because my server php version is 4.4.7
so it doesn’t recognize the public static

my code looks like the following now and I can activate it
However, when I go to my blog index page (not log in yet), the page is blank :X

<?php

class wpAuthenticate {

function check_auth_to_read () {
if ((strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-login.php’) === false) && (strpos($_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’], ‘wp-register.php’) === false)) {
if ( !is_user_logged_in() ) {
auth_redirect();
}
}
}
}

add_filter(‘init’, array(‘wpAuthenticate’,’check_auth_to_read’));
?>

I’ve upgraded to 2.6 and when I use the code adejeffchen pasted in above, I just get a kind loop of permanent redirecting without it getting anywhere!

Does anyone know of any other plugins like this which work with WP2.6?

I also get loop of permanent redirecting. Did anyone come up with the solution to it?

The problem was with ‘
That’s the plugin that works with 2.6:
