    text
    copied!<p>I have researched this and unfortunately all I can find is general advice on htacesss and pass wording or general htaccess to redirect etc. None of them are what I am after here.</p> <p>To sum up, we run a set of blogs all using the WordPress Multisite functionality.</p> <p>All these files etc and info in the database are referenced by an ID and as such the site does not live in a folder.</p> <p>I want to restrict one folder with a htaccess that our company uses to allow access to its users.</p> <p>Normally I would drop that file in the folder and job done.</p> <p>However, as mentioned there are no physical folders and so I need to somehow add this to the existing htaccess file that WordPress uses to handle everything.</p> <p>Here is the htaccess file as standard:</p> <pre><code>RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / #uploaded files RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/$ index.php [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*wp-content/plugins.* # deperectaed after upgrade to v. 3.0 RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-content/blogs.php?file=$2 [L] RewriteRule ^(.*/)?files/(.*) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L] # add a trailing slash to /wp-admin RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/wp-admin$ RewriteRule ^(.+)$ $1/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule . - [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-.*) $2 [L] RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(.*\.php)$ $2 [L] RewriteRule . index.php [L] &lt;IfModule mod_security.c&gt; &lt;Files async-upload.php&gt; SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off &lt;/Files&gt; &lt;/IfModule&gt; </code></pre> <p>What I need to add is the following:</p> <pre><code>AuthName "You must be a valid user" AuthType Basic require valid-user </code></pre> <p>But I only need it to work on one site, say site id=2 for now. I would possibly like to add sites to this later.</p> <p>Any help will be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Cheers</p>
