Hello, Im currently using ubuntu.wordpress and during the installation I was notified that my /wp-admin is protected by Apache using. And gave me user name and password. Everything ran ok, until I needed to write it down every time I enter to my wordpress dashboard, or even to my domain from any other computer/smartphone/tablet. This message appears to eveyone that wants to enter my website. How do I get rid off this message? Thanx!

It seems that the community script removes tags instead of escaping them, so go to this site instead and scroll down to the bottom: <br> <br>http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-password-protect-your-wordpress-admin-wp-admin-directory/
You need to add an exception for the admin-ajax.php file which your template/a plugin wants the browser to access. In order to do so, find the .htaccess in the wp-admin directory and add the following: <br> <br><Files admin-ajax.php> <br>Order allow,deny <br>Allow from all <br>Satisfy any <br></Files>
