 * Thanks for such a useful plugin.
 * I’ve recently installed it on a new development website where WordPress is installed
   in a subdirectory, using method 1 detailed here:
 * > [Giving WordPress Its Own Directory](https://wordpress.org/support/article/giving-wordpress-its-own-directory/)
 * The website root is password protected with basic authentication.
 * All was working as expected until I installed the Custom Permalinks plugin. Since
   then, when editing a post, the basic authentication username/password request
   constantly pops up when trying to save a post.
 * Any idea why this might be happening?
 * I’ve tried disabling other plugins and changing to the TwentyTwentyOne theme,
   checking the .htaccess files etc, but the only thing that fixes it is disabling
   the CP plugin.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@canaryninja](https://wordpress.org/support/users/canaryninja/)
 * Can you please share a list of plugin you are using? Also, How have you applied
   basic Authentication using some **HTTP Auth** plugin or **.htaccess**?
