Same problem for me… But!!! I needed to go back to Version 1.7.11 (had probably not installed 1.7.12 before). Version 1.7.12 was also not working. When trying to activate the plugin WordPress told me that is has a fatal error and cant activate it.

We’re using also FTP file deployment – we dont use the online updater.

What could be the cause?

Hi, First of all – great plugin!

I have a similar issue but….

It just doesnt work for all https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/* links (including *=empty). Then if get a blank screen. When I enter the wp-login.php it shows up the error message properly.

I use custom 404 error plugin. On 404page it shows up in the html title that it is a 404 Error – but blank screen. On Custom 404 Pro it shows up just a blank screen – no title change.

Great! Thanks so much!

OK valid point. Its only a session cookie. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for checking! Your are right. I deleted the cookies after configuring private site – then it started working like it should!

Strange is that I checked it in Incognito/private mode in chrome and it did not work. So I tried the following (using two browsers for having cookie separation):

I logged in via Chrome and removed the private site (disabled it). Now I deleted all cookies in firefox and navigated afterwards to my not protected subdomain (sub.domain2.tld). Now I switched to chrome and enabled private site again. After going back to firefox and refreshing the website, it still shows up. It seems that ANY cookie (not only for logged in users) prevents from being protected. So everybody who accessed the website and got a cookie can still see the website.

So protection is widely available here but with some limitations. But it shouldnt be a problem with a new site – only if you turn it on after some while.

Hi, unfortunately I can’t give you more feedback regarding the W3 Total Cache problem because we couldnt yet figure out what exactly the problem source is. But it is running – therefore we dont touch it at the moment on production. We first need to solve the Total Cache problem – maybe an update will solve it (it seems to have the “bigger” problem with another plugin – not yours).

But I recently wanted to add a new site to the network – also with private site protection. There I had the problem, that even when I used the same configuration like for the first private site, the site wasnt protected. Is the Multi-Domain feature supported by your plugin? Because the first private site was just a subdomain of the subdomain for the wordpress network (sub.sub-wp-network.domain.tld) – but the second is mapped via WordPress MU Domain Mapping to another subdomain (sub.domain2.tld). Can this be the problem?

OK I found out, that this “not saving but” is related to bigger problem (now for me) with W3 Total Cache. I will let you know when I found out more.

But another “issue”: Can you please let a user free chose the login page? Because I wanted to redirect to another page in my network for this purpose but it only accepts the actual domain as base.

Thanks!

Hi jonradio,

wow fast reply! I’m impressed. No worries everything works fine now. I just wanted to be sure it’s not a general issue. At the moment I can’t test some things (enabling debugging etc. – because its on production). But I will setup a copy on a test environment to get more details. But that will take some time (day or two?).

I will come back to you.

Thanks!

Little update: after hacking it into the DB the entry does not disappear in the settings when I change other settings! But the initial entry isnt possible.
