 * Alright I can’t find nothing on the web with this problem.
 * I have WordPress installed in my main directory ([http://nerwin.net](http://nerwin.net))
   and I have a download page ([http://nerwin.net/downloads](http://nerwin.net/downloads))
   and then once you go to that page (download page) theres a link on the bottom
   thats called “Administrator Login” and the directory is password protected, so
   when you click on “Administrator Login” it should come up with a login prompt
   but instead it redirects to my homepage.
 * Does anyone know how to fix this problem cause I just dont know what to do, I
   tried everything.
 * I really really really need help bad!!
 * Thanks!

 * For me clicking on Administor gives a 404 error. That is because it is linked
   to `a href="http://nerwin.net/admin/ud`. Just change that link to a correct one.

 * I dont get that error [http://nerwin.net/downloads/](http://nerwin.net/downloads/)
 * When I click on adminstrator login, it just redirects to the homepage, but its
   suppose to come up with a login prompt
 * I know its something to do with wordpress, because I removed the rewrite rule
   in the .htaccess file and it worked BUT none of my links on my blog did not work,
   everything was not found except for external links.

 * Create a file on your website. Call it onerror.html. It can be empty. Doesn’t
   matter what’s in it, it just has to exist.
 * In WordPress’s .htaccess file, add this to the top of the file:
 *     ```
       ErrorDocument 401 /onerror.html
       ErrorDocument 403 /onerror.html
       ```
   
 * Obviously, change the path to be correct and such.
 * This will allow password protected subdirectories of the WordPress blog to work.
 * The reason for this is explained in more detail here:
