    Hi all,
    I have decided to have some password protected sub categories, When I click on it, it asks for the password, when I put the password in, it errors with 404.

    You can see this in action here: https://wall2wall.photos/product-category/rwphotoshoots/
    Password is: +vx]=ZPXv5r5`wSJ

    Thoughts?

    Hi there – this would not have anything to do with Symbiostock at all, however it could have to do with your WordPress install, or something else.

    Yup, you’re right again Robin. Thank you. It’s an issue with WP Security, I guess I will have to go through each settings and check. lol

    But…..

    When you change the password, you no longer get access to category.

    Thoughts?

    Actually ignore that. It does work but the password change doesn’t happen straight away. I assume it need to wait for CRON to run the processor?

    Hi Richard

    As I said, Symbiostock and its processor has nothing to do with this. I have no idea why there would be a delay in the password updating other than cache.

    Thanks Robin,

    It is absolutely related to security software I run, how is the Auth done for protected folders? What is the mechanism for displaying the folder content once auth is done?

    I only ask so I can try and configure the security software to allow access.

    Cheers. 🙂

    Hi Richard – unfortunately we have no idea what the issue is as Symbiostock has absolutely nothing to do with password protected categories or products.

    Hy Richard,

    I have a question. I also want to share fotos with password protection through symbiostock. But i cant get it managed via symbiostock.
    How did you do this with catergories? I cant get subcategories in the platform symbiostock and i cant get a password protection sharing via symbiostock or?

    How do you get this managed?

    Would be very great if you could reply!!!
    THANKS!
    John

    Hi John,
    The issue is not Symbiostock software. I have found it’s related to security software, in my case, when you rename your admin login page to something other than https://domainname.com/wp-admin it breaks the access to the protected categories.

    I use wpcerber security which is fantastic but they blame the Symbiostock software, sooo it would seem you can’t have the security of a non standard admin login page and protected categories at the same time which is a bizarre situation that no one wants to deal with.

    Hope this helps.

    R.
