I use a .htaccess rule to add an extra layer of password security to the wordpress login page. Now as the whole wp-admin
is protected. Users who wish to register, lands on the page with the username
and password
prompt for the authentication
.
Is there anyway I can bypass this only for user registration URI?
I currently have authentication
for this URL - www.example.net/wp-login.php
But I couldn't exclude the authentication
prompt for this URL - www.example.net/wp-login.php?action=register
This is my .htaccess rule:
<FilesMatch "wp-login.php">
AuthName "Authorized Users only"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/user/.wpadmin
require valid-user
</FilesMatch>
Is there anyway to exclude the security authentication
for the queried URL for registering in my site?
