Because its not being redeclared, at least from what I know about redeclaring functions. Its just not. * Maybe the newer [AskApache Password Protect](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/askapache-password-protect/) 3.6.x version will work for you. * [netocury](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netocury/) * (@netocury) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743682) * First, the plugin is fantastic, but, after upgrade version (3.6.3), i have the same problems described in the comment of the Dmitrius. * [beernews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beernews/) * (@beernews) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743688) * Same activation error here. * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743689) * I recently saw this error as well, trying to install it on someone ‘s blog. * [animaljam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/animaljam/) * (@animaljam) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743691) * same problem here, with aapp 3.6.3, wp 2.5.1 (also with 2.5 previously) * [askapache](https://wordpress.org/support/users/askapache/) * (@askapache) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743695) * I can’t figure it out.. sorry. * It doens’t make any sense… how can a single `add_options_page` be declared twice? And why does it say that its occuring on the line right underneath the real one? * I change the name of the option but apparently it is still causing this problem for many.. all with an upgraded version? * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743696) * > ..change the name of the option but apparently it is still causing this problem > for many.. all with an upgraded version? * I attempted to install 3.6.3 on a 2.5 blog just the other day — and got exactly that error. Whether or not thats the updated version I don’t know. I do know that its the plugin and not me. Ive been doing this for a while. * No matter for me, as .htpasswd solutions don’t require a plugin. * [beernews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beernews/) * (@beernews) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743699) * i’m still on 2.5. not 2.5.1 yet. * [netocury](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netocury/) * (@netocury) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743704) * I already using WP 2.5 when the plugin was installed and works perfectly, but, without any apparent reason, the plugin becomes problem. Upgrade to 2.5.1 and the problem persist. * [fburleigh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fburleigh/) * (@fburleigh) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743705) * I’ve updated WP to 2.5.1 (using the svn method) and AA to 3.6.3 with no improvement. Should we compare PHP and Apache versions? My install’s on SuSE Ent 10.1, PHP is 5.2.1 and Apache is 2.2.3. * [askapache](https://wordpress.org/support/users/askapache/) * (@askapache) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743706) * Ok I fixed it.. The problem was occurring I think because the automatic upgrade stuff somehow included the file twice. Theres really no other explanation since it literally was only in the file once. So I added 2 different tests that make sure it doesn’t get included twice and the new version works! * Oh ya, and I added an additional security option to password-protect /wp-login. php * [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gangleri/) * (@gangleri) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743707) * > Oh ya, and I added an additional security option to password-protect /wp-login. > php * Great! * [animaljam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/animaljam/) * (@animaljam) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743711) * aha, well done! * many thanks for working it out * [askapache](https://wordpress.org/support/users/askapache/) * (@askapache) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/#post-743712) * ok I just did a fairly large (for me anyway) refactoring of the plugin so much is improved.. Added a couple more security modules that I’m trying to program to be compatible to snort, nessus, and mod_security rules. I’ll be working on a submission form for people to contribute their own .htaccess modules. * **some changes** * more php4 compatible, no glob, no 2nd parameter for sha1, etc. * 99.99% accurate test for mod_rewrite capability and .htaccess capability using fsockopen * started the SID collection to make it easy to add in more security modules Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘[Plugin: AskApache Password Protect] Installation Problem’ is closed to new replies. * 16 replies * 8 participants * Last reply from: [fburleigh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fburleigh/) * Last activity: [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-askapache-password-protect-installation-problem/page/2/#post-743721) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
