 * Hallo,
 * I have moved my WordPress installation from my personal webspace [http://wwww.domain1.de/subfolder](http://wwww.domain1.de/subfolder)
   via your plugin to the customers webspace [http://www.domain2.de](http://www.domain2.de).
 * To protect my own webspace [http://www.domain1.de](http://www.domain1.de) I have
   used a .htaccess in the main dir.
 * After moving the WordPress installation on my customers webspace via the install.
   php file from the plugin, the browser asks for the .htaccess password from my
   personal webspace although I am on my customers webspace. The typical .htaccess
   popup which comes up when I enter the page shows the url of my personal webspace
   [http://wwww.domain1.de/](http://wwww.domain1.de/).
 * I have checked the WordPress’s own .htacess file on the webspace [http://www.domain2.de](http://www.domain2.de)
   and they look ok.
 * I have no idea how to remove my “old” password protection on the new webspace.
   I have deleted all .htaccess files on thc customers webspace, but the browser
   still asks for the user and password.
 * I hope you can help me.
 * Best regards
    Flo

 * Hey Flo,
 * That is a bit odd… A few things you might try.
    1. Restart Apache on the domain2.
   de 2. Try another browser or clear all cache on your current browser. 3. Make
   sure you don’t have any settings in your local computers hosts file 4. Do a global
   search for all .htaccess files on the system to make sure you don’t have one 
   in a hidden spot
 * Hope that helps!

 * I have fixed the problem. The problem was that I had a hard coded part in my 
   theme with the old url. So only for some images a user/password was needed.
 * Thanks a lot.
