404 Error When Protect Directory in Wordpres

When I protect my wordpress directory /members in amember and I try to access my "pages" that were created in wp, I get a 404 error. I'm using the "new_rewrite" in amember.

When I remove the protection, the pages work just fine.

I have my pages and posts written in wp as "%category%/%postname%/"

I'm sure this may have something to do with the rewrite.

Any ideas on how to keep to rewrite in wordpress and have amember protect the pages?

I did some testing and found that the error stems from .htaccess file.

When I protect a directory amember puts in some information and
also since I have the permalinks in wordpress set as "/%category%/%postname%" it conflicts with each other.

The .htaccess file I have when I set the "new-rewrite" is:

########### AMEMBER START #####################
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

## allow access for any active subscription
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} amember_nr=([a-zA-Z0-9]+)
RewriteCond /home/site/public_html/breaking/amember/data/new_rewrite/%1 -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [L]

## if user is not authorized, redirect to login page
# BrowserMatch "MSIE" force-no-vary
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.+)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.website.com/amember/plugins/protect/new_rewrite/login.php?v=-any&url=%{REQUEST_URI}?%{QUERY_STRING} [L,R]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.website.com/amember/plugins/protect/new_rewrite/login.php?v=-any&url=%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
########### AMEMBER FINISH ####################

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /members/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /members/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

It messes up the permalinks for the "pages" not the "posts."

Anybody? Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Why not remove permalinks? Its behind an amember protected folder so you get no SEO advantages by using permalinks and users could care less whats in the URL.

Hi David,

I don't know if this is just me but I tried your wordpressamember demo site and even if I'm logged on as gold I can't read the gold subscription posts.

I tried it on two computers, same thing.

I don't know how to post this so I just added it here.

Thanks! Fixed. Working now.

David
