Hi all,

I have a server with a basic wordpress installation. I am using the Wordpress generated htaccess mod_rewrite rules for pretty urls. I am also trying to password protect a single file as well. However, when I have "require valid-user" I get a 404 error from wordpress (I presume its from the mod_rewrite). If I remove the require-user, it works fine. I've googled it several times, each time getting a variant of these rules below, but none of them working. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eric
