Are you trying to login to the wp-admin section, or go into the homepage of the site? After you type in username and password, in the protected page, what does the URL say?
If you are just trying to get to the homepage, the URL will likely either end in “/” or “index.php”. If you are going to the admin, it will end with “/wp-admin/”.
If you are going to the admin, it will always ask you for a username and password for your wordpress installation.
I currently have SP Document Manager set up on this page:
http://www.tylerslight.com/about-us-2tl/board-directors-page.
This is a password protected page.
Once you type in the password for this page it then re-directs you to /wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fabout-us-2tl%2Fboard-directors-page%2F
I do not know why it re-directs you to the wp-admin page as I do not have it set up to do this. I only want the page password protected, I do not want people to have to have a user account set up to access Document Manager.
I am simply trying to have password protected page without being re-directed to enter in user account credentials. Any suggestions?
Go to your dashboard Documents > Settings > advanced settings
Make sure that “Require Login to Download?” is unchecked.
You can also try creating a new page with shortcode to show files. The shortcodes can be found at:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/sp-client-document-manager/installation/
You probably want to use this shortcode:
[cdm_public_view]
Thanks.
“Require Login to Download?” is unchecked.
Tried the shortcode as well, I still have the same problem.
Any other suggestions?
