 * Hi there,
 * Ive installed CFM, and found out that if you are using basic apache security .
   passwd/.htaccess to protect your wp-admin folder. Result is that to users that
   are not logged in, an apache login/pass screen comes up every time you view a
   page.
 * So I had eliminate temporarly the apache security, I think this a thing you might
   want to look into.
 * The plugin is awesome, takes a BIG weight off my shoulders.
 * Regards,
 * enelcaso

 * Hi Enelcaso,
 * soory to say, but thats not the fault of my plugin its a lack of the way you 
   implemented the htaccess and passwd:
 * If you password protect your WordPress Admin directory, then it will break the
   Ajax functionality in the front-end, generally and for all othe rplugins. Here
   is how you fix that issue.
    Open the .htaccess file located in your /wp-admin/
   folder In the wp-admin .htaccess file, paste the following code:
 * <Files admin-ajax.php>
    Order allow,deny Allow from all Satisfy any </Files>
 * You are done:)
 * Cheers, René
