    After migrating our WordPress test site to the live site , we have encountered an issue where the Basic Authentication settings were inadvertently carried over, causing us considerable trouble. When accessing this live website, it prompts for Basic Authentication while displaying the test site’s URL on the authentication screen…

    Unfortunately, the backup of this live website only includes the theme, database, plugins, and other components, but not the WordPress core.

    In an attempt to resolve this issue, we added the following lines to the .htaccess file within the parent directory:

    Copy code
    Satisfy any
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

    While this change made the live site accessible, it also inadvertently made the test site which we wish to keep private, accessible without Basic Authentication. Removing the aforementioned lines from the .htaccess file results in Basic Authentication being required again for both.

    How can we resolve this situation to ensure that the test site remains private while keeping the live site accessible to the public?

    ver.2.23.14.26

    Hi,

    Are you using a plugin for the authentication, if so can you remove via FTP?
