Question

Need to Remove Authorization Req Prompt on Wordpress

Here is the wrinkle,

when I follow the directions on other posts and logon to the apache2 file, it is blank.

There is no WP Admin stuff to null. I have had an ssl installed on other domains on my DO account (not sure if that would affect this install).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From what I gather, I just had to nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and comment out this section :

  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Restricted Area"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
  Require valid-user
</DirectoryMatch>```

Just commented all of it, hopefully that's not a bad thing. Please let me know if it is.

There is nothing in that apache2 file…

The extra password dialog is defined inside a DirectoryMatch directive in the file

/etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Locating the DirectorMatch directive that includes the authentication configuration and removing that section and then running:

service apache2 restart

will remove this.
