I downloaded the plugin a few minutes ago and installed it on WordPress 2.5.

2 small issues:
Line 29: auth_redirect(); is commented out. It must be uncommented to actually work
Line 7: Version is still listed as 1.0

Otherwise, it DID work with WordPress 2.5!

Thanks Aaron.

There is a problem running this plugin on WP2.5. As reported elsewhere, if you upload an image, WP shows the login box in the box after upload, instead of the image. Any ideas, as I would like to revert to usin this plugin?

Thanks for the update Ian, I tested it with 2.5.1 to make sure, and then fixed the readme in the repos to reflect that.

Thank you for creating this plugin. FYI - I am using it successfully with Wordpress 2.5.

I also got the “Plugin encountered fatal error” when I tried activating the Authenticate plugin. After reading here that you’ve converted all your plugins to PHP 5, I switched my WP 2.3.3 installation to run on PHP 5. Thereafter the plugin and the rest of the blog is working fine.

Suggestion: If the plugin requires PHP 5 to run at all, please indicate this up front in the README.TXT file and other documentation.

Thank you for your work.

If the code is showing up, make sure it’s wrapped in php tags:
< ?php ... ?>
Other than that, what version of wordpress?

om gargatte: That could be done, but this plugin does not do it. Consider putting a check in your theme’s page.php file that looks like this:
< ?php if (777 == the_ID()) {auth_redirect();} ?>
Replace “777″ with the ID of the page you want to require authentication for.

Alfredo: Are you sure nothing else changed? It looks like you are getting an error that is usually associated with trying to run PHP 5 code on PHP 4. The plugin (as with everything else I do) requires PHP 5.
