Only been using it for about an hour, but superb plugin so far.

Whenever you get a totally blank page on the front end, but the back-end admin still seems to work, first thing to try is to switch back to the ‘default’ theme. Does that help?

It seems there are many ways the new flash-based image uploader can fail. I’m fairly drowning in data here, so can anyone point me to a discussion/thread that specifically addresses:

WP 2.5 image upload failing because of password-protected .htaccess file

I know this is my problem because if I turn off password protection in my .htaccess file, things work again, and because I have other WP 2.5 blogs running on the same account that are working just fine (w/out password protection.)

I haven’t found any solution here so far that works for my problem — has anyone else?

Super thanks to this page which provided a solution:

Basic gist is that you are obligated to define your own 401 redirect in your .htaccess if you want to password-protect a directory beneath a wordpress installation.
