I’m not running a wordpress site, but I added a rewriterule to the htaccess file of the parent directory of a site that proceeded to disable the login prompt on an htaccess-protected sub-directory. I just spent 4 hours messing with the htaccess and httpd.config files trying to figure out what went wrong… As it turned out the rewriterule was affecting the custom 401 document I had setup in the htaccess file (i.e. the parent .htaccess file looked like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/~userdirectory(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com%1 [L]

ErrorDocument 404 /~userdirectory/404.php
ErrorDocument 401 /~userdirectory/401.php
)

When the protected directory attempted to go to the 401 page the rewrite rule would skip the intervene, serving the 401.php page-content but apparently not the 401 header. Anyway, it’s not exactly the same thing as you discuss here, but your observation that the 401 header needed to be served in order to initiate authentication is what tipped me off to the problem.

Bottom line: You’re a saint!
