same thing

I dont get this could it be something in the .htaccess for the parent (which is wordpress)

heres that one

# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]


# END WordPress
Options All -Indexes

Could be, since WP uses a ton of mod rewrites all over the place.

.htaccess isn't one of my long suits, so I won't venture any more guesses.

Thanks man...I get a feeling the way around this is to write a simple login.htm script instead of using the dialogue box from apache

without significant mods. wordpress is the culprit. Their current htaccess is pretty much an all consuming piece of you know what that takes all requests and processes them through a single bit of php.

Sites that use wordpress as "content" often have two complete version so wordpress running - an "outside" version running for the public pages, and then another complete version running in the members area (with it's own htaccess).

I wouldn't recommending putting a hack into wordpress to do the membership part, mostly because wordpress keeps updating and you will have to go back and hack it over and over again.

Hi Mike,
Just a suggestion..
Why not try a different front end..
take a look here:
http://suicidedolls.com/

I'm using geeklog there. It's a fixed width but you can do a million things with it
and already has members area built in with alot of plugins.

Theres others out there as well.

I used to swear on wordpress but their constant upgrades and limited
core functionality gets old pretty quick

you guys are right in that its the wordpress rewrite rules

heres the thing...the members section is totally outside of wordpress so it shouldnt matter but the rewrite rules of the parent directory are the culprit.

at least thats what Im told by my hosting company.

my southernbukkake site does the same thing but it works fine...I think because I use strongbox there and it uses its own login page.

does anyone know how to turn off the rewrite rules in .htaccess in the members section because once the user hits the members page they are out of wordpress for good.

I know diddly_squat about apache directives
