    Hi there,

    I guess I'm missing something basic along the way so I wonder if someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction.

    I've set up a product, protected the folder that the product page resides in, and customised the sign up page. So here's what happens: I go through the sign up process and get sent to the 'Your Membership Information' page. On that page is the link to the protected resource. But if I click that link up pops a server username/password prompt.

    I'm sure members aren't required to login twice, but for the life of me I can't see what I'm doing wrong. All I want is to have the user log in and be directed immediately to the protected content (not any type of membership page).

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Doc.

    Does the user account you are testing with have an active membership to the protected folder? An admin doesn't automatically have memberships. Actually it is better to use an admin account for administrating and set up a test user account for testing.

    Thanks for the reply Grant. Actually, I'm creating a brand new user each time. And each time I get the server pop-up. I'm sure it's a config option somewhere, but I guess I've been staring at this too long!

    Did you protect the content with htpasswd protection? If so, switch to new_rewrite.

    David, thank you for your response. Using new_rewrite did the trick.

    For the benefit of others, I cleaned out the htpasswd files from the protected directory, and then used the 'protect content' option in dashboard navigation panel and protected the directory with new_rewrite.

    Also, to any admins, feel free to change the title of the thread to something a little more search friendly. I wasn't thinking straight at the time!

    Again, thanks to both of your for your help.
