Updating http-authentication For WordPress 2.0

A couple of people have asked me about updating the http-authentication plugin for WordPress 2.0. I’ve made a first pass at updating it, thanks to Dustin Brewer who provided an initial patch.

Currently this version is in trunk, but I’ll likely tag it as version 1.4 on Monday or Tuesday.

Thanks for updating the plugin!

Without intending to be a nag, could you get it to work with the registered-only plugin? You know, the redirect_to problem?

Thanks!

Joost and I solved the problem by upgrading to the latest version of wp-login.php from WordPress trunk. If you are using WordPress 2.0 with this plugin and the registered-only plugin, please replace your wp-login.php file with:

http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/wp-login.php

When WordPress 2.0.1 is released, there shouldn’t be any conflicts between the two plugins.

Great plugin, which allowed us to setup a wordpress blog in our environment very quickly. I’ve made some extensions to it, which you can see here:

This adds some options which accomodate better a situation where the whole blog is protected with authentication, and also adds an auto-registration feature. This has only been tested with WP 2.0.1.

Great plug-in. I plunked it in (1.5-sky) and it worked no problem.
