[Durham] WordPress failed login mystery

[Dougie Nisbet]

Yup, something to do with the .htaccess file (since you ask). I'm not 
sure if it was the syntax, but in the end I put the code in the parent 
directory, and specified the specific file used for logging in. i.e.:

<FilesMatch "wp-login.php">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Secret stuff"
AuthUserFile <my auth file>
Require valid-user
</FilesMatch>

and that seems to have done the trick. ok, you can stand down.
