Yeah, looks like the developer of this theme has moved on to other things.

The issues I’m seeing in the site aren’t (yet) dramatic enough to convince the client to pay me to rebuild it on something else. So it goes.

The child file is definitely named “functions.php”. (yeah, I can see that happening)

Sure enough, a plain vanilla WordPress 4.9.7 running Twenty Seventeen theme, no plugins… and the password protect works everywhere I test it.

Now to poke around with the theme we’re using and the plugins until I find the conflict.

Well @fneergaard, I seem to be having something similar happening to me here too.

Wordpress 4.9.4, Aveda, WooCommerce, Sensei, GravityForms, a few other things.

I’m finishing up a site someone else started. Cloned the master copy to a new URL and started working away.

Yesterday noticed that the Aveda font-driven icons the previous developer put in the menus and elsewhere had been replaced with garbage-y characters. Sent in a support request to Aveda about that, haven’t heard anything back yet.

Then while working elsewhere in the site discovered that uploads to the media library wouldn’t throw any errors, but that the images never arrived on the site. From there I noticed that none of the images in the media library were showing up at all!

Found a wordpress thread about a similar problem around 4.9.1, but it didn’t come to any kind of resolution other than downgrading to 4.8.

Who else out there is having this kind of issue?
