    Hi there,

    I bought amember yesterday an got it up and running to protect my Worpress posts.
    Works like charm....really love it.


    But i got one Problem left and hope you guys can help me solving it.


    My Site is basicly an video podcast Site driven by Wordpress 2.9.

    So i got posts @wordpress wich contain video files.
    I ve set it up so that non logged in Users can only see a teaser version of the videos.
    Logged in Users are able to see the full lentgh video and are able to download the video files.

    The videofiles are hosted in an protected folder on my server wich is protected by the new_rewrite method.

    So far everything is workin fine....

    Here comes my Problem:


    I also publish some RSS & Itunes Feeds wich i want to protect as well.
    I would like to have it like this:

    When a user acces the feed, lets say via itunes ,they are prompted to enter Login / password. i managed that when protect the feed oder the video folder with the .htacces method.

    Is there a way to protect my videofiles with new_rewrite and having my feed protected with .htacces ??


    Any help welcome..

    Thanx Sascha

    I think both the RSS and the video files will need to be protected with htpasswd protection.
