It explains the problems that I have been experiencing. I will go the cheap route and publish the direct wordpress url for those who want to get into the password protected pages on the site. Otherwise, the original domain we use will remain in force for all other visits.

If they do this through http://harmonyranch.wordpress.com/ they'll have no problem.

If you want to use the domain with proper functionality, you'll need to map it: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/

They click on Members on the main tab and are asked for the password which they enter correctly from their IE browser. I cleared cookies and cache to make sure we were dealing with a clean slate. When they enter the correct password, the password page presents itself again and does not let them in.

The online documentation reads:

"WordPress will prompt you for the password on your initial visit to a protected page. After entering the password that first time, we’ll securely store the password with the browser you viewed it with so you won’t have to enter it again."

I have users that are prompted for the passwords. They enter the correct password but are prompted for the passwords again. I have purged cookies, temp internet files and refreshed their browser and still the same problem. When I make the page public, they are still prompted for a password. HELP!

If WordPress stores the password intially in the browers files and I as the admin, change the password, would the last password be incorrectly used when the user tried to access the page again? How does WordPress recognize that the password has changed and it needs to reach out to the user for entry.

I would like to create a sub domain on bordeen.com called store.bordeen.com and I want to forward that address (with masking to) http://www.freewebstore.com/bordeen

Currently, I have forwarded (with masking) http://www.bordeen.wordpress.com to bordeen.com which I registered with GoDaddy quite some time ago. I setup a subdomain called store.bordeen.com through GoDaddy, however, they said that it was hosted with WordPress and I that I would have to contact WordPress.

In summary, how can I create the sub domain called store.bordeen.com and forward it with masking to http://www.freewebstore.com/bordeen?

Thanks for your help,
Jenny @ Limetee c/o Bordeen

It was actually on my mac. I think it had something to do with the fact that I was logged into my account so the "toolbar" was appearing. When I logged out it started appearing as it should and has not messed up again.

However...now I have a whole new issue. I have my domain name forwarding and masking my blog url. Once it started working, however, when you scroll on the page...it is extremely jerky.

Any thoughts on that one?

The thing is that my website (www.parabole.ca) is currently a placeholder from Godaddy. Because of that I thought that these were two separate things.

I'll give it a shot tonight at a moment I'm less likely to receive emails, but this is still weird that WordPress has an impact on my mail setup...
