Wordpress How To enable wp_login protection after setting up site

When you run centmin.sh menu option 22 to create a Nginx based Wordpress site, there will be at end of the process all the relevant login details provided. If you answered yes to HTTP password protect login wp-login.php then those user/password details will be at end of centmin.sh menu option 22 run. As with all centmin.sh menu options logs are automatically saved at /root/centminlogs. So at end of centmin.sh menu option 22 run it will tell you were the log was saved.

example at /root/centminlogs/centminmod_123.09beta01.b203_120719-221749_wordpress_addvhost.log

Code (Text):

-------------------------------------------------------------
vhost for domain.com wordpress setup successfully
domain.com setup info log saved at:
/root/centminlogs/centminmod_123.09beta01.b203_120719-221749_wordpress_addvhost.log
-------------------------------------------------------------

You can search for all the logs via grep filter below

Code (Text):

ls -lahrt /root/centminlogs/ | grep '_wordpress_addvhost.log'

or find command

Code (Text):

find /root/centminlogs/ -type f -name "*_wordpress_addvhost.log"

example output

Code (Text):

ls -lahrt /root/centminlogs/ | grep '_wordpress_addvhost.log'
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  21K Feb  3 22:29 centminmod_123.09beta01.b421_030220-222801_wordpress_addvhost.log

Code (Text):

find /root/centminlogs/ -type f -name "*_wordpress_addvhost.log"
/root/centminlogs/centminmod_123.09beta01.b421_030220-222801_wordpress_addvhost.log
/root/centminlogs/centminmod_123.09beta01.b490_150420-211636_wordpress_addvhost.log

To reset Wordpress wp-login.php HTTP password created by centmin.sh menu option 22 wordpress auto installer, you can use htpasswd.sh script

Code (Text):

vhostname=yourdomain.com
/usr/local/nginx/conf/htpasswd.sh create /home/nginx/domains/$vhostname/htpasswd_wplogin USERNAME PASSWORD

where, you change USERNAME to your desired username and PASSWORD to your password and change yourdomain.com to your wordpress site's domain name

then restart nginx

Code (Text):

ngxrestart

Or if you want to disable http password protection comment out both these lines

Code (Text):

   auth_basic "Private";
   auth_basic_user_file /home/nginx/domains/demodomain.com/htpasswd_wplogin;

like

Code (Text):

   #auth_basic "Private";
   #auth_basic_user_file /home/nginx/domains/demodomain.com/htpasswd_wplogin;

then restart nginx

And lastly to enable it, it's same as resetting instructions above, just need to ensure auth_basic elated settings are enabled in your wordpress vhost
