Home › Forums › Other › Cant access sub folder install of wordpress, if wp is in root too if its pw protected?
Hi, I have a domain name, ill call it mysite.com for this question.
i have wordpress installed in the root directory, mysite.com
i also have another copy of wordpress installed in mysite.com/members
everything works fine, no problems.. cant complain :)
until i go to cpanel and put a password on mysite.com/members
now /members is password protected. , i access mysite.com and still everything is fine.
now i try to access mysite.com/members expecting to be prompt with a user and pass login window..
but instead i am brought to my root domain. mysite.com/ and i see a wordpress themes page not found error.
so my 2 cents is, my copy of wordpress in my root. mysite.com is thinking i am trying to access a wordpress page called /members which i normally wouuld have created through the add new page thing through the admin panel, but sense that doesnt exist i get this error….
could someone figure this out? and try to tell me what to do?
thanks!

i tried this on two different servers, from two different companies, so im pretty sure its not server configuration. but who knows.
Why do you need 2 wordpress installations anyway? Perhaps this is easier to accomplish with just 1 install.
Or perhaps disabling your permalinks in the wordpress installation that is in the root folder. That way, if I’m right, that wordpress install won’t see /members as a new wordpress page, and your server should handle it as if its a subdirectory. Not sure about it though
Thats a difficult issue. Perhaps WordPress mu can help you with this: http://mu.wordpress.org/
