I'm running a small private wordpress blog and would like to protect the wp-login.php using .htaccess and .htpasswd. I'd like to be promoted by a additional password prompt when trying to access the wp-login.php file.
Using this in my .htaccess works but obviously makes my whole site.
AuthName "Zugangpasswort"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile (path)/.htpasswd
require valid-user
But I can be sure everything points in the right direction. But after pointing to a given file, nothing happens.
<Files wp-login.php>
AuthName "Zugangpasswort"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile (path)/.htpasswd
require valid-user
</Files>
There is no kind of error message nor any password prompt when trying to access wp-login.php. Htaccess and htpasswd are in the same folder with the file I'm looking to protect. I cleared the browser cache and used private windows. Any ideas?
(I'm a complete newbie with all kind of this tings... Sorry, if I made a dumb mistake)
